One spot on an empty canvas   one chair in an empty room   No place for a revolution   No hope if the signs are true   We stand at the edge of something   Will we ever know what it is?   Hold on cause the wind is rising   and we can't get away from it      Were in shock from the failed emotion   No cause in the shadow land   We sing while the city's burning   No room, no escape, no pain   We never thought it would end this way      AND WE ALL NEED A HERO   TO SAVE US FROM OURSELVES   WE NEED A HERO   TO SAVE US FROM OURSELVES SAVE US FROM OURSELVES   SAVE US FROM FEAR   WHEN THE SIRENS WAIL WE NEED A HERO      We hide on our knees in silence   Maybe God doesn't hear at all   And the wait overtakes the violence   And we watch as the giants fall   We're not gonna let it end this way
