[Verse 1]
Black wind on my face
Steel smoke in my lungs
I climbed the broken tower
With the cold moon hung
Ribs of the city
Bent like iron bones
You hear me coming
Through the flooded stones
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the ground
I don't need the sun
When the blood in my chest
Starts to drum, drum, drum
[Chorus]
On bat wings I fly
Across the night, I take flight
On bat wings I soar
Into the stars, I explore
On bat wings I glide
In this dark tide, I survive
On bat wings I fly
On bat wings I fly
[Verse 2]
Your red door rattles
As I pass overhead
A chain of old regrets
Dragging through my head
But I cut that weight
Let it drop below
Now the black sky opens
And I start to glow
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the ground
I don't need the fear
When the blood in my chest
Pulls me near, near, near
[Chorus]
On bat wings I fly
Across the night, I take flight
On bat wings I soar
Into the stars, I explore
On bat wings I glide
In this dark tide, I survive
On bat wings I fly
On bat wings I fly
[Bridge]
Stone by stone, I fell apart
Flesh and metal, scar to scar
Then a hunger pulled me through
And made a blade of what I knew
[Final Chorus]
On bat wings I fly
Across the night, I take flight
On bat wings I soar
Into the stars, I explore
On bat wings I glide
In this dark tide, I survive
On bat wings I fly
On bat wings I fly
