Sleep No More
Wretched sky, you who blow these
Winds of change, hear me now!
Take back your darkened hearts
Where greed and evil feast
Upon your sheep!
Gone, the days of laughter and
Innocence
Our enemies are close now
Herding their prey for the coming
Slaughter
Like puppets, we twist and dance to
Proclamations
Scripted and cast like poisoned seeds
Sprouting lies and confusion
Through voices at their command
Awaken from your slumber!
Cast off your cataracts!
The terror train is about to depart
Do not climb aboard!
Death awaits!
Open your eyes!
Live free!
