Be my hero

Take off your glasses
and unbutton your shirt,
for my superman, hasn't arrived yet.

we live in a world of chaos,
were flames creep about, consuming all.
i ask, who will be my hero?

and i wait for you once again,
i close my eyes and reopen.
you're still not there.

the joker has won,
and spider-man lost his powers.
our life erodes as the darkness is rising.

please tighten your mask,
and create a new identity.
i don't wanna be the one who has to save me.

dark power is uncontrollable,
i felt it as you failed to rescue me.
the most notable act was but a dream.

the earth spins
as we are tortured by our own devices.
at last the lights go out because you never came.

who will be my hero?
