You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders with an eye
For an eye we'd all be blind
Death for murder, of this I'm sure
In this uncertain time
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
when you should have been wide awake
Come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
With every album you are able to feel incredible growth from the previous recording...and we're only on #3. Audioslave might be (is) the best "supergroup" ever formed. Wide Awake is as powerful a track as any they've recorded and this is considering that their previous releases have afforded a sound as original and technically masterful as anything that's ever been put together. Audioslave is the perfect complement of amazing vocals, impeccable harmony and a completeness in their music that's almost perfect.
