Gotham

[Intro: Christian Bale]
As a man, I'm flesh and blood
I can be ignored
I can be destroyed
But as a symbol
As a symbol, I can be incorruptible
I can be everlasting

[Chorus: Ben Schuller]
So far from the end, so far from beginning
Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city
I'm not here to play your game
You won't ever know this pain
Too soon for the truth
Too late for forgetting

[Verse 1: Ben Schuller]
All these secrets
Jagged pieces
All these fears I've called
I don't need them
All these years I'm gone
But I'm breathing
If I'm gonna stand
Make it somethin' I believe in
I know I'll never find another way
Live a lie and justify it by another name (Another name)
How many bullets can a shadow take? (Shadow take)
Yeah, the mask can keep me hidden but there's no escape (There's no escape)
Was never supposed to be the hero for the millions
If that means I live long enough that I become the villain

[Chorus: Ben Schuller]
So far from the end, so far from beginning
Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city
I'm not here to play your game
You won't ever know this pain
Too soon for the truth
Too late for forgetting

[Verse 2: Skybourne]
The rage I feel inside
Is a fire that burns alone
From the pain I've let it out
Through everything I've ever known
'Cause in the night I come to life
As a king to claim his throne
Now it's time to stand my ground
With all I have and on my own

[Bridge: Ben Schuller]
If that means I live long enough
That I become the villain

[Chorus: Ben Schuller & Skybourne]
So far from the end, so far from beginning
Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city
I'm not here to play your game
You won't ever know this pain
Too soon for the truth
Too late for forgetting (Forgetting)
