[Intro]
Rain on the cowl
Blood on the stone
Gargoyles watch
I walk alone
[Verse 1]
Boots hit the rooftop
Sirens in the vein of the city
Teeth in the shadow
I don’t need their mercy, their pity
Jaw full of thunder
Knuckles write the law in the grime
You pray for sunrise?
I’m the one that cuts through the crime
[Chorus]
I am vengeance
I am the night
Say my name when you choke on your fright
From the alleys
Up to the sky
When the fear hits your lungs
I am the bat in your eye
I am vengeance
I am the night
[Verse 2]
Smoke in the floodlights
They run when the symbol is burning
Every cracked window
Knows I’m the lesson they’re learning
Bruise on the bruisers
I’m the debt they never can pay
You want forgiveness?
You won’t find it out here today
[Chorus]
I am vengeance
I am the night
Say my name when you choke on your fright
From the alleys
Up to the sky
When the fear hits your lungs
I am the bat in your eye
I am vengeance
I am the night
[Bridge]
Broken bones choir (hey!)
Sing on the pavement
Steel in my spine
I don’t need a savior
Tell me, Gotham
Do you feel alright?
(Do you feel me?)
When I tear the rot from your light
[Chorus]
I am vengeance
I am the night
Every heartbeat a drum in the fight
From the alleys
Up to the sky
When the terror comes calling
I am the reason it hides
I am vengeance
I am the night (oh)
I am vengeance
I am the night
