Sunset Superman Lyrics
The night has a thousand eyes
But he moves in only places
Where the eyes can never be
The night tells a thousand lies
And when you wake up in the morning
Were you dreaming
Screaming
Tryin to hide your burnin' heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Somebody start the game
And the dark will just get louder
As it shouts away the light
A shadow without a name
But when he wakes up in the morning
He just won't know
Was he a hero
Trying to hide his burning heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Anybody can
Sunset superman
The night has a thousand eyes
But he moves in only places
Where the eyes can never be
The night tells a thousand lies
And when you wake up in the morning
Were you dreaming
Screaming
Tryin to hide your broken heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Superman---ooh
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunsetsuperman---ooh
Anybody can
Anybody can
Sunsetsuperman---ooh
Sunset superman
But he moves in only places
Where the eyes can never be
And when you wake up in the morning
Were you dreaming
Screaming
Tryin to hide your burnin' heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
And the dark will just get louder
As it shouts away the light
But when he wakes up in the morning
He just won't know
Was he a hero
Trying to hide his burning heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Anybody can
Sunset superman
But he moves in only places
Where the eyes can never be
And when you wake up in the morning
Were you dreaming
Screaming
Tryin to hide your broken heart
Before somebody cuts it all away
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Sunset superman
Superman---ooh
Sunset superman
Sunsetsuperman---ooh
Anybody can

I think that the song talk about what we are on ours dreams, that we are all superheros in ours sleeps and when we wake up we are only SUNSET SUPERMAN back to reality ... screaming.
This being a song right after Dream Evil, I think that the morning light is what DIO is describing as the Sunset Superman. If you think about it like this; you are dreaming bad sh*t all night and when the "creatures" are about to "eat you", you suddenly wake up by the sunlight shining through your room window saving you from the Evil Dream :).
The song overall is cool, I like it even though it doesn't get good reviews. DIO saying Sunset Superman too many times may seem repititive but for me it sounds like the cymbal clashing "tss-tss-tssuperman" which is really inventive!
"Sunset" in its adjective and verb form can mean to terminate. I haven't figured the rest out yet.
The night has a thousand eyes but he moves in only places where the eyes can never be.(The eyes of The Lord, where the devil can never be) ( Demons travel everywhere but HE moves(GOD) where eyes can never be The night tells a thousand lies (people follow thousands of lies) and when you wake up in the morning were you dreaming screaming (because you followed the liar) Tryin' to hide your burning' heart before somebody cuts it all away (hiding from the truth, burning , going to hell) Sunset superman sunset superman sunset superman (you sunrise is burning, going down) Somebody start the game and the dark will just get louder as it shouts away the light ( you see, your days are numbered, being blown away as chaff) A shadow without a name but when he wakes up in the morning he just won't know was he a hero (Times past, your name gone forever) Tryin to hide his burning heart before somebody cuts it all away Sunset superman sunset superman sunset superman anybody can sunset superman The night has a thousand eyes but he moves in only places where the eyes can never be The night tells a thousand lies and when you wake up in the morning were you dreaming screaming Tryin' to hide your broken heart before somebody cuts it all away Sunset superman sunset superman sunset superman Sunset superman sunset superman superman oh oh oh Sunset superman sunset superman sunset superman oh oh oh Anybody can anybody can sunset superman oh oh oh Sunset superman sunset superman superman oh oh oh
I think it's about the hope we all have during the day and night. We fail, and then we feel just like Superman when he doesn't save anyone, or is too late to save someone. So, we have these dreams at night-as we hope for a better tomorrow-but sometimes the tomorrow doesn't turn out any better and our minds can get stuck in this loop. I guess the "being" mentioned (going where eyes can't see) can be the Devil or God, depending on how we see things on that particular day, or how we can change our attitudes to see things positively or negatively.
It ain't about Superman. In that case, the truth is that just anybody can't.
You may think I'm crazy but to me this song is about Batman/Bruce Wayne
I think it's about feeling safe before we go to sleep and then just completely break down in fear during the night and waking up and not fully grasping what happened during our sleep and shrug it off saying it was a dream.
