I am the shadow
I am the night
I am the person who makes you hide in bed with fright
Hidden in an alley
Shrouded by the dark
Watching as parents take their little children to the park
A tear falls down my face but I slide it away
I’m Batman!
And now the bad guys and I will play
Pow!
I smack the faces of my foes
Whack!
Sometimes I even step on their toes
Biff!
You know they say anything goes in love and war
In love and war in love and war in love and war
Stop! There is a job to be done!
And at the end of the night, in front of the rising sun
I grin
I gleam
I go.
