Looking at the unfairness of the world, there is a feeling
that we have to do something about it - but one person alone
can't have the power to bring justice everywhere.
This is about the desire for power and to use that power for
good - the song's subject turned in to an almost
Iron Savior-like figure, watching the world from the sky.
The title was suggested by Jamie Newton.

Too much injustice in the world
Is there a way to fight it all
Too many times I've been afraid
And let the evil take control
But I don't have the power to see
Watching the world from the ground
And I wish for the courage and strength to heal
The injustice I see all around
With my unblinking eye
I will watch from on high
As long as injustice remains
From the hatred and lies
Of the world I will rise
And give them their lives back again
With my unblinking eye
My eye has seen all of the world
And all the suffering of our race
I'll bring an ending to it all
When in the sky I take my place
And I will have the power to see
Watching over them down on the ground
And I will use the strength I've been given to heal
The injustice I see all around
With my unblinking eye
I will watch from on high
As long as injustice remains
From the hatred and lies
Of the world I will rise
And give them their lives back again
And as long as injustice remains
I'll give them their lives back again
The eye watches over the whole of the world
It sees the injustice and pain
And I'll watch over the world
Setting the innocent free
But after all have been saved
Then who shall save me?
With my unblinking eye
I will watch from on high
As long as injustice remains
From the hatred and lies
Of the world I will rise
And give them their lives back again
Unblinking eye - As long as injustice remains
Unblinking eye - I'll give them their lives back again
Unblinking eye - The eye watching over the world
Unblinking eye
