There's a fire in the city Panic in the air Far from your mother's arms Without a heart full of fear You see the black clouds twistin' The sun's going down And every last savior has left the town And I know you're searching for a little bit of light Let me be your hero Let me be your hero Now the white moon is rising Blood flowing through the streets Everyone's hiding You're down on your knee Now the vulture's are flying The sun's coming up But the steel around your heart is starting to rust Let me be your hero (I'll carry you through) Let me be your hero (I'll lay it all down for you) Let me be your hero (I'll carry you through) Let me be your hero (I'll lay it all down for you)
