Shepherd

I left my family in their graves
My mother, my father
All of them

I walked off into the setting sun
Eyes set on tomorrow
A future

I had already stayed too long
Waiting for a sign
A savior

In my hands, I took my fate
My fears, my memories
Everything

Left behind in a dead place
Living alone without a trace
I had no idea
I was lost with the dead
How did I come out alive
How did I come out alive

Left behind in a dead place
Living alone without a trace
I had no idea
I was lost with the dead
How did I come out alive
How did I come out alive

A virgin to the world
But I held no innocence
I held the air of apathy
I was the advent of apathy
I was the advent of apathy

I am a shepherd with no sheep
I am a man with no past
I am a shepherd with no sheep
I am a man with no past

I am a shepherd with no sheep
I am a man with no path
I am a shepherd with no sheep
I am a man with no path

I chose no past
With no stories to tell
No one wants to hear
Of death and dying
I chose no past
With no stories to tell
No one wants to hear
Of hell
