One spot on an empty canvas
One chair in an empty room
No place for a revolution
And no hope its 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......

<4 bars of stream of consciousness guitar, piano & drums>

We're in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadowed land
And we sing while the city's burning
With no room, no escape, no plan.

We all never thought it would end this way...


And we need a hero (to save us from ourselves)
We need a hero (to save us from ourselves)

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail
We need a hero here


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...


We need a hero (to save us from ourselves)
We need a hero (to save us from ourselves)

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
And when the sirens wail
We need a hero here

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail
We need a hero here...

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail
We need a hero
here....yeah

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
And when the sirens wail
We need a hero here

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail
We need a hero


Save us (to save us from ourselves) Save us from our fear
Save us (to save us from ourselves) We need a hero here
