They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone,   n' hope has been succesfully undone   The question's burning on, where is it coming from,   no-one seems to know the monster born      It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible   Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable   Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible   And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all      Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day   Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time   Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away   Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime      They're locking up the sun, they have their chosen one,   you know this time they'll make him play along   They're taking to the arms, the fathers and their sons,   there's nowhere left to run and hide      It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible   Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable   Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible   And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all      Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day   Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time   Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away   Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime      And in the emptiness, there's a solution,   just look within yourself for absolution
