Poisoned sheep
They claimed this world, Its not
what it seems to be.
So it started to unravel,
bursting at the seams.
So I lied in a wake.
Unable to slip away.
So I'm begging you now
go back to sleep.
counting your stars
while they poison
your sheep.
Once the wave is set
it's doomed to repeat.
Thats where they linger
hidden within your dreams.
Just waiting for your fall
that's when they spring.
We can never give back
All the life that was taken
for fear of fiery lakes
and the land that's forsaken.
So I'm begging you now
go back to sleep
Counting your stars
while they poison your sheep.
