Derelict Herds Lyrics - Opeth

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 

Cost 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? 

That someone lied to you 

You hold it closer to your chest 

There was a meaning for this test 

But you forgot and its gone now 

You were controlled somehow 

There was a mean time 

An invitation of sorts 

I remember life 

I, I was sick with sorrow 

Id 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
