{scratching vinyl}
Yeah, street level versus high rises
Two
sides of the same coin,
watch 'em collide
{heavy rock riff kicks in}
Queens on his back,
jumping off the red brick No trust fund,
just a camera and a web-slick High-wire act in the middle of
the daylight Making rent,
fighting crime under streetlights
(swinging low)
{rhythmic rap delivery} But when the night goes cold in the concrete
cave
Another shadow wakes up with a world to save {guitars swell,
driving beat starts} One flies high where the skyscrapers gleam
One rules the dark of a broken dream
Spinning a web or striking from the dark
Two different heroes leaving their mark (oh-oh-oh)
{anthemic rock chorus, screaming guitars} Now look at Gotham,
no sun in the sky Deep pockets,
black cape, and a stern look in the eye No radioactive bite,
just a tactical mind Leaving villains in the dirt when he leaves
them behind
(striking fast) {heavy syncopated drum groove,
aggressive rap} One wears a mask to protect those he loves
One wears a mask to rise far above
From the alley to the rooftop peak
They fight for the silent,
the lost, and the weak
{emotional build-up, double-time drums} {shredding guitar solo,
heavy wah-wah pedal, driving rhythm section}
One flies high where the skyscrapers gleam
One rules the dark of a broken dream
Spinning a web or striking from the dark
Two different heroes leaving their mark
(yeah!) {final massive chorus}
Watching from the ledge
Guarding on the edge (hmmmm)
{guitars
fade, soft hip-hop beat,
record crackle}
