Peer into the gloom
See a world lost on its own, predestined to doom
With a cut off bloom
Like a newborn baby ripped from his mother?s womb
A society full of crime and sin
Divided by itself like the Wall of Berlin
A humanity destined to being led off course
A depressed wife after her divorce
Evil legislative militants running shit, killing their own with no remorse
A world searching for a goal all beyond its reach, for harmony and peace
But yet it?s being eaten up but its own population, brutality with no cease
Like a corpse engulfed by crows and worms
No end or terms
To being corrupted
A positive journey interrupted
Crumbling, Gotham City is falling off like white chess pieces losing to the black ones
Like sending troops to Iraq with no guns
People being massacred in tons
Swallowed up by a blazing inferno, reaching its boiling peak
A ticking bomb intended to leave the human race as just a streak
A needle in a sea, to be remembered as just an antique
Their own personal immoral and wicked technique
But out of the shadows creeps
Another shadow, standing stall cape fluttering with the wind
Stature reflecting against the moon, the answer to the saving of Gotham?s mankind
Flexing in the coldness, on the tallest tower
Is the Dark Knight, the come back to crime?s power
And the city becomes so still you can hear the worms crawling in the ground
The Caped Crusader, the mayhem blood hound
Our hero, the one who keeps our streets secure
Fighting with a strength unknown to others, shining a light into the obscure
Keeping evil on lock
Putting wrong doing niggas in shock
See a world lost on its own, predestined to doom
With a cut off bloom
Like a newborn baby ripped from his mother?s womb
A society full of crime and sin
Divided by itself like the Wall of Berlin
A humanity destined to being led off course
A depressed wife after her divorce
Evil legislative militants running shit, killing their own with no remorse
