I am the dark. I am the Knight

My life changed with a single gun shot.

As a man laughed and pulled a trigger without a second thought.

He left a boy and his family in an alley to rot.

He has no idea his own ticket to pain and punishment he just bought.

Revenge for my family will be sought.

I am the dark.  I am the knight.

Now I hide in the blackest of night.

Never afraid, never back down from a fight.

Making it my dying wish that every wrong will be right.

As I hide in the shadows punching and kicking my enemies with all my might.

I embrace the darkness, because I've been betrayed by the light.

I am the dark.  I am the knight.

That night my enemies made me.

Having no idea that they created my destiny.

They wanted a nightmare, so a nightmare I will be.

Putting my personal life on lock and throwing away the key.

And I will not hang up the cape until my city feels free.

I am the dark.  I am the knight.

For crooks I'm a nightmare, for the good citizens I am a dream.

Looking with anticipation in the sky, hoping to see the beam.

I love hearing bones break, and hearing the bad guys scream.

I can come out of the shadows, or straight out of the steam.

I work better alone, I can't handle a team.

I am the dark.   I am the knight.

I run around chasing a man with a painted on face.

Hellbent on destroying the human race.

Strong men who are slow, and agile ones that can keep up the same pace.

Every criminal I vow to never give up the chase.

Locking up every psycho in that Arkham place.

I am the dark.  I am the knight. 

Was barely a boy, forced to be a man.

Taking every opportunity that I can.

Revenge is all the fuel I needed, so I ran.

That day in that alley my new life began.

The day I became...

I am the dark.  I am the knight.
