Locking Up the Sun

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 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
