Locking Up the Sun

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
