Derelict Herds

Someone died for looking too far
 While I was asleep in my house
 A child was killed, I heard it from a friend
 A war raged in a distant land
 Caused me to linger on a piece of text
 Someone died
 
 Not here, never here
 ♪
 There was a fever
 There is a failure
 Are you a believer?
 Then someone lied to you
 You hold it closer to your chest
 There was a meaning for this test
 But you forgot and it's gone now
 You were controlled somehow
 ♪
 There was a mean time
 An invitation of sorts
 I remember life
 I, I was sick with sorrow
 I'd fallen asleep
 ♪
 And dreamt of my sins here
 It was your turn
 
 Adamant smile and said, thank you
 There was a sickness right in the family
 While I shuddered in the cold
 Woman hanged for her sins while I craved mine
 An old man drowned in this life herd
 As I made amends with my fathers
 Someone died
 Not here, never here
