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
