[Verse 1]
They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone
N' hope has been successfully undone
The question's burning on, where is it coming from
No-one seems to know the monster born

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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?

[Bridge]
And in the emptiness, there's a solution
Just look within yourself for absolution
And in the emptiness, there's a solution
Just look within yourself for absolution

[Chorus]
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?
