A shadow slips across the glass (just a shadow) Above the avenues
of brass
He watches over towering walls
And leaps before the city falls
He's hanging by a single thread
Spinning lines across the red
In the web he has to weave He's the hero we believe
A quiet kid behind the mask
Bearing a heavy, lifelong task
No applause and no reward
Just the secrets he must guard (watch him go)
He's hanging by a single thread
Spinning lines across the red
In the web he has to weave He's the hero we believe
With great power comes the weight
(it's the weight) Caught inside a tangled fate
He's hanging by a single thread
Spinning lines across the red
In the web he has to weave He's the hero we believe
Watching from the ledge...
