(Verse 1) The night descends on streets of quiet stone, And everyone is fighting on their own. You feel the pressure pulling at your chest, Demanding you be stronger than the rest. They want a symbol when the world goes blind, Leaving your human heart so far behind. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all. (Verse 2) It hurts to carry all the city's pain, To wash your failures in the freezing rain. You take the blame so others get to heal, And wonder if your sacrifices are real. The night demands a price you have to pay, To guide the broken safely to the day. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all. (Verse 3) We all wear masks to hide our private grief, Searching the darkness for a sweet relief. You think nobody sees the tears you cry, Beneath the arches of the midnight sky. But strength isn't never feeling weak or sore, It’s standing up to try a little more. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all. (Verse 4) The chaos rises like a toxic flood, Testing the limits of your bone and blood. They try to break your spirit and your code, To make you stumble on a lonely road. But integrity is what you choose to be, When no one’s watching and you're wild and free. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all. (Verse 5) So let the storm clouds gather overhead, You cannot conquer what you've long since dead. The fear is just a shadow on the wall, It has no power if you refuse to fall. You are the author of your own decree, Shaping the person that you strive to be. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all. (Verse 6) The dawn is breaking past the Gotham spires, Putting to sleep the city's wildest fires. You pull the cowl back from your weary face, And finally find your balance and your grace. The night was long, but you survived the fight, And turned the darkest hour into light. (Chorus) 'Cause when the night is heavy and the road is steep, We find the promises we swore to keep. You gotta push the terror far out of sight, And rise above it as the dark knight. Yeah, take a breath, let every shadow fall, We’ve got the strength to carry through it all.
