[Verse] The streets are cold with whispered lies Shadows stretch beneath the skies No one's pure the truth is bent Fingers point but none repent [Chorus] We need heroes to rise and stand To guide us through this broken land False idols crumble can't disguise Their hollow hearts their shallow cries [Verse 2] The Age of Mistrust has begun Electronic eyes on everyone No corner's safe no secret kept Our innocence has long since wept [Chorus] We need heroes to rise and stand To guide us through this broken land False idols crumble can't disguise Their hollow hearts their shallow cries [Bridge] Through the static a voice will call A spark of hope to break the thrall But who can lead when all are flawed When power's just a lightning rod [Chorus] We need heroes to rise and stand To guide us through this broken land False idols crumble can't disguise Their hollow hearts their shallow cries
