I sleep with one eye open

I live with both eyes closed

Blood spilling from a poisoned pen

Dreams of tomorrow are disregarded and disposed

The radio reminds us that it has heard surrender's silent and suicidal sound

That it has listened to countless cries from contaminated countries collapsing to the frigid ground

...But when will we hear?

...But when will we hear?



We sleep with one eye open

We kill with both eyes closed

The sadistic cycle continues once again

Come full circle as the enemies are exposed

The television tells us that it knows the tragic truth buried beneath the livid lies

That it has seen the terrible treachery with its own two eyes

...But when will we see?

...But when will we see?



Society sleeps with one eye open

But corrupts with both eyes closed

Red ink spilling from my venomous veins once again

Bodies on the battlefield are stacked on Satan’s supermarket shelves and their souls are superimposed

The computer commands to us that it has the consecrated cure for cancer

That to our every confusing question it has the anticipating answer

...But when will we know?

...But when will we know?



The world sleeps with one eye open

But assassinates with both eyes closed

The satanic cycle continues yet again

Come full circle as dog tags begin to tarnish and decompose

The government sermons to us that we are fighting for freedom and winning the war

That once again, in the shimmering sky, our skyscrapers and flags can majestically soar

...But when will we be free?

...But when will we be free?



...But when will we open up our eyes to see?
