Locking Up the Sun

They're locking up the sun, the light of reason's gone
 And 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?
 Oh, whoa, oh

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