"Hero" lyrics

Is the world that you're in okay?
But does it need a hero who never wore a cape?
To come and save the day
I patiently wait
Counting all the different ways we get to stay the same
I need a change

Can you feel them coming closer?
Won't become some fallen soldier
I'm slowly losing my composure
I can feel them taking over now
I can feel them taking over

Taking over

Can you feel them coming closer?
Won't become some fallen soldier
I'm slowly losing my composure
I can feel them taking over now
Over now

And it's a feeling that I'll never forget
Black out the sky, black out my soul
They'll never be lit, never be touched ever
I'm cold, I'm frozen in time, holding the line
Taking back what is supposed to be mine
I'm done with the shine, I creep in the dark
The only thing left beating's my heart
Give me one more reason to start
And if they kill me this day, I never do but I'll pray
Get under my feet, under my skin and take me away

Can you feel?

Can you feel them coming closer?
Won't become some fallen soldier
I'm slowly losing my composure
I can feel them taking over now
