"Sleep No More" lyrics

In all the lonely hours of darkness the attic window draws them in
Under a moonless sky of starkness, their night of terror shall begin

Cold comfort for you as you sleep no more, no more

And in the town where no one listens there stood a man with empty soul
He promised everything that glistens would in the morning turn to gold

Cold comfort for you as you sleep no more

They were warned, yet still the truth was scorned
Can't help but think you get what you deserve

They returned yet nothing had been learned
Can't help but think that you will sleep no more

You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
You sleep no more...
(This is a shakedown)
You sleep no more...
(This is a shakedown)
You sleep no more...
(This is a shakedown)
You sleep no more...
(This is a shakedown)
You sleep no more...

Look around and you will see
Things aren't what they claim to be
Keep your eyes locked open wide
They can't just hide a genocide
It's not all coincidence
That kings and queens and presidents
Deny the things that we all see
How stupid must we really be?
I just hope that karma is real
So they all know how we all feel
I wish the spirits of the dead
Would choke them while they lay in bed
A world they filled with broadcast death
Should watch as they take their last breath
The gallows or electric chair
What's good for us is only fair
For them I ask an open grave
No casket or a flag to wave
Instead we'll pump our rivers clean
They way they should have always been
And all the shit that's in there now
We'll transport to their graves somehow
So in the end our chains break free
From shiny rivers to the sea
