Overtoun – Restless Sleep/Eyes Wide Open lyrics

A flash of light in the dead of night, no one but me seems to mind
Another shot, another dead man, forgotten and left behind
Fucking corruption feeds the pigs and the glutton, eight out of ten take the bribe
How could you sleep while this shit goes on? No one but me seems to mind

You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide

Morally bankrupt men indulge in the spoils, that only they can afford
To the black market go all the human traffickers, where they collect their reward
A child cries, a future of suffering, their human rights are ignored
Those who have escaped, where will they go? No one will open the door

You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide
I can’t take it any longer, something has got to change
Wake up from your oblivion this world could be more than just another extinction event if you open your eyes

Paramilitary perversions, eradicate and divide
Borders enforced to tear apart families, those who flee violence are only sent back to die
And yet you turn a blind eye while the whole fucking world is burning
We’re at the point of no return, it’s now or never

You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide
I can’t take it any longer, something has got to change
Wake up from your oblivion this world won’t be more than just another extinction event if you don’t open your eyes
