Holding out for a Hero

Holding Out For A Hero - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恆沉睡)

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods

Where's the street wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed

Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream

Of what I need

I'm holding out for a hero

'Til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero

'Til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasies

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat

It's gonna take a superman

To sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains

Meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I would swear

That there's someone somewhere

Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach

Like the fire in my blood

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods

Where's the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed

Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream

Of what I need

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero

You know 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero

'Til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger

Larger than life
