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
