[Verse 1]
Screens glow in the cave
Dust on a hidden drive
Oracle’s hands start shaking
“Someone wanted this buried alive”
Nightwing leans on the railing
Mask off
Jaw gone tight
Names crawling down like spiders
All their parties
All their flights
[Chorus]
We thought we knew the dark
Till we saw their names in light
Every saint in Gotham’s skyline
Signed in rooms at midnight
You can lock up every clown
Still the rich keep buying chains
Justice isn’t blind
She’s reading dirty names
[Verse 2]
Bruce freezes on one folder
Old money
Same cold crest
Boardrooms
Blood on contracts
His father’s friends in the text
Red Hood spits out a curse (hey)
Tim just stares at the floor
Spoiled kings and smiling anchors
All booked on that island’s shore
[Chorus]
We thought we knew the dark
Till we saw their names in light
Every saint in Gotham’s skyline
Signed in rooms at midnight
You can break the petty tyrants
Still the throne remains the same
Justice isn’t blind
She’s reading dirty names
[Bridge]
“How deep do you dig
” asks Cass
“If the bedrock’s made of this?”
Alfred’s hand on Bruce’s shoulder
“Master Wayne… you can’t unsee this”
They don’t wear masks or makeup
They toast with stolen years
Whole empires built on silence
On runaways and tears
[Chorus]
We thought we knew the dark
Till we saw their names in light
Every saint in Gotham’s skyline
Signed in rooms at midnight
We can’t burn the whole world down
But we can torch their paper chains
Justice isn’t blind
She’s coming for their names
