Artist/Band: War
Lyrics for Song: Thought I Had Died
Lyrics for Album: Waving White [2007]



Never thought that I could be anyone or anything,

Couldn't stand the rising of the sun,

But still I rose and walked the streets,

Too afraid to stop my heartbeat,

Even though I thought about it some,

All the things that used to be

So beautiful became empty,

And all I had was just the memory



CHORUS:

I thought I had died, I was alone,

'Til you found me here and brought me back home

I thought I had died, was caught in the flood,



'Til you lifted me up, out of my grave and into the sun



Maybe I'm the only one,

But I wonder if it's everyone,

Pain is part of being born,

Hope is more than just a dream,

And love is more than anything,

And I believe in kingdom come,

Victims or victories,

I was blind but now I see,

The world was made for more than tragedy



CHORUS x3


Thought I Had Died

On the 2007 album Waving White, War delivers 'Thought I Had Died,' a haunting track that exemplifies their signature blend of post-punk energy and introspective lyricism. The song features the band's characteristic driving rhythms layered with atmospheric textures, creating a soundscape that balances aggression with vulnerability. As a key component of their discography during this period, the recording showcases War's ability to explore themes of mortality and existential dread without resorting to melodrama. The track stands as a testament to their evolution from their earlier punk roots into a more polished, emotionally resonant art rock style, cementing their reputation as a band capable of delivering both visceral impact and deep contemplation.
