[Verse 1]
Black rain on the bridge, I’m home in the mist
Two-tone signal in the air, I can’t miss
Subway ghosts hum low under the grate
Basement saints and wolves all rotate
Corner store chrome, fist full of doubt
Every block got a rumor, every block got a route
I learned fast, keep your eyes on the skyline
’Cause the whole town bite when the moonlight aligns
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that pulse in the alley?
Hear that pulse in the wires?
All the saints and the sinners
Moving closer to the fire
If you know, then you know
This city never sleeps
It drags your name through the dark
Then it hands you back your keys
[Chorus]
Gotham City, Gotham City
Run it up, run it up, night so gritty
Gotham City, Gotham City
I was made for the dark, stay litty
Gotham City, Gotham City
Take my heart, take my scars, don’t pity
Gotham City, Gotham City
We still rise in the rain, so gritty
[Verse 2]
Blue screen glow on a face in the glass
Cop car blur while the shadows go fast
High-rise saints with their hands on the switch
Talk clean in the day, at night they all switch
I got a name carved deep in the concrete
Took the long way, bare feet on the beat
If the whole block shakes when the thunder rolls in
I’m the spark in the smoke, let the comeback begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that pulse in the alley?
Hear that pulse in the wires?
All the saints and the sinners
Moving closer to the fire
If you know, then you know
This city never sleeps
It drags your name through the dark
Then it hands you back your keys
[Chorus]
Gotham City, Gotham City
Run it up, run it up, night so gritty
Gotham City, Gotham City
I was made for the dark, stay litty
Gotham City, Gotham City
Take my heart, take my scars, don’t pity
Gotham City, Gotham City
We still rise in the rain, so gritty
[Bridge]
Midnight over the river, I don’t fold
Steel in the lungs, and the truth don’t go cold
Every bruise been a map, every loss got a code
From the tunnel to the tower, watch me take the load
[Final Chorus]
Gotham City, Gotham City
Run it up, run it up, night so gritty
Gotham City, Gotham City
I was made for the dark, stay litty
Gotham City, Gotham City
Take my heart, take my scars, don’t pity
Gotham City, Gotham City
We still rise in the rain, so gritty
