Lyrics:

seen things lately

I can't get off my mind

they frustrate me

and keep me up at night



oh lord, does your watchful eye

see the news-every night

via satellite on T.V.



while my god was sleeping

pain was on the rise

when my heart stopped beating

god was far and sleeping



a lot like torture

as pleasant as it seems

a wheel of fortune

with sandy beaches and bad, bad dreams



hey man, what's with your eyes

what do you see-from up so high

are you hypnotized or just lazy



while my god was sleeping

pain was on the rise

the blade that cuts so deeply

made me realize



while my god was sleeping

sleeping like a child

who never said his vespers

he's sleeping now forever



I stopped to watch my life

to watch it passing by?/p>



I love you god, I pay the price

I want to make this sacrifice forever



while my god was sleeping

strangers lost their lives

when their hearts stopped beating



god was far and sleeping

while my god was sleeping

sleeping like a child

who never said his vespers

he's sleeping now forever
