Over the city in the pale moon light
Upon the gargoyle stands the dark knight
He seek the innocent cry of the city
Upon the gargoyle stands a dark knight
Too much vengeance and pain in his heart
As the pale moon silhouette his dark sense
Under the city that calls him son
Upon the gargoyle stands a dark knight
A normal man he wish he be
This duo personality he sees
Getting in his way socially
Alone he stands upon

An ancient guardian of stone
Beneath the city that beats
Every heartbeat of his life gone
Took his parents one dark night
A tear glisten by the pale moon light
Under the mask that hides his identity
Under the mask he hides
His pain, his humanity
The day his parents died,

He was a child of anger
Below the very street
He looks a distant memory
That raze his heart,
A helpless child in fright
By the street their blood spill
By a killer's gun fight
Wanted their money his greed
Grabbed his mother's pearls break
The pearls of white now bled red rolls upon
A young boy's feet,
Last survivor of a tragedy
The only son of Wayne legacy,

Now dons another face
Upon the gargoyle stands the dark knight
That instill fear in bad men
A face in darkness reigns
As cold has his heart
That hides his true feelings
To be normal like other men,
And leave these crusade that never ends,
For evil that men do, demises his faith
What difference he makes
A joke, a riddle, a two face
Justice that never seem to end
They come again and again
To make a mockery to
The very justice he tries to save
His life atone with the mask
some might even say
Alone vigilante's rage,
A guardian angel's raze

Upon the gargoyle stands the dark knight
To dance with the devil in the pale moon light
To Gotham will sleep
In their safe beds tonight
As their dark angel looks
High above city skyline
Upon the gargoyle stands the dark knight
When a bright new moon shines bright
A sign of why he dons
This black cape, came clear
A sign that strikes fear in man
His dark crusade leads
Upon the gargoyle high
The dark knight stands no more
