[Verse 1]
On this God-forsaken planet
Smoke and death in the opal mines
Nuclear war-torn cities fill your sight
Oh, it's a world of sadistic killers
Men are tortured as they die

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Is there a savior
Who can turn the tide?

[Chorus]
All our lives are on the line
We need a hero, hero
Unknown avenger from afar
He's the chosen one
The savior of the people, hero
From sorrow's land our bleeding hearts
Cry out for a hero

[Verse 2]
In the heat of revolution
Blood runs everywhere
For a brighter future's sake
We dream and dare
It is the hour of retribution
End of dark despair
[Pre-Chorus 2]
God-sent avenger
Electrifies the air

[Chorus]
All our lives are on the line
We need a hero, hero
The seven scars and fists of fury
He's the chosen one
The savior of the people, hero
From sorrow's land our bleeding hearts
Cry out

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
All our lives are on the line
We need a hero, hero
Unknown avenger from afar
He's the chosen one
The savior of the people, hero
From sorrow's land our bleeding hearts
Cry out
All our lives are on the line
We need a hero, hero
The seven scars and fists of fury
He's the chosen one
The savior of the people, hero
From sorrow's land our bleeding hearts
Cry out for a hero
