[Intro] (Low orchestral drones. Distant chanting. Slow heartbeat.) I was not raised to be a hero. I was raised to win. No weakness. No hesitation. No mercy. That is what they taught me. But then... I met my father. [Verse 1] Born beneath a blood-red sky, I learned to fight before I learned to cry. A blade in my hand, a kingdom in my name, They told me greatness was written in my veins. I was raised among assassins. I was trained to never fall. I was told that fear was weakness and compassion meant nothing at all. Then Gotham called. And the Bat answered. [Pre-Chorus] You looked at me and saw a child. I looked at you and saw a rival. You wanted me to learn restraint. I wanted you to understand... I was already trained. [Chorus] I AM THE HEIR! I AM THE BLADE! I WAS BORN INTO A LEGACY THAT WILL NEVER FADE! I AM THE SON! THE SON OF THE BAT! I WILL NOT BE DEFINED BY THE BLOOD THAT I HAVE! You call me reckless. You call me proud. But I will never bow to the crowd. I was born for the darkness. I was raised for the fight. And I will decide what I become tonight. [Verse 2] You gave me a cape when I carried a blade. You taught me that heroes don't kill what they're afraid of. I thought you were foolish. I thought you were weak. But every time I fell, you refused to let me break. Dick taught me how to laugh. Jason taught me what anger costs. Tim showed me that being Robin doesn't mean becoming the Bat. And somehow... you became my father before I understood what that meant. [Pre-Chorus] I spent my life trying to be worthy. Trying to become what everyone expected. But maybe being your son doesn't mean becoming you. Maybe it means choosing my own path. [Chorus] I AM THE HEIR! I AM THE BLADE! I CARRY THE LEGACY OF THE BLOOD THAT MADE ME! I AM THE SON! THE SON OF THE BAT! I WILL NOT BE DEFINED BY THE BLOOD THAT I HAVE! I carry the darkness. I carry the light. Two worlds inside me fighting every night. But I don't have to choose. I don't have to hide. Both of them are part of me. And I will decide. [Bridge] (Music drops to piano and strings.) Father... I know you fear what I could become. You look at me and see the League. You see the blood. You see the training. You see every mistake I could make. But I look at you... and I see the man who gave me another choice. You didn't erase my past. You gave me a future. (Pause.) And for the first time... I don't need to prove myself. [Build] (Drums begin.) I am not a weapon! I am not an heir waiting for a throne! I am not the League! I am not the Bat! I am Damian Wayne! And this is my path! [Breakdown] (Massive orchestral hit and distorted guitars.) I AM THE HEIR OF THE DEMON! I AM THE SON OF THE BAT! I CARRY BOTH LEGACIES! AND I WILL NOT BE ASHAMED! I WAS BORN IN THE DARKNESS! BUT I CHOOSE WHAT I BECOME! I WILL NOT BE YOUR WEAPON! I WILL NOT BE YOUR CLONE! [Final Chorus] I AM THE HEIR! I AM THE SON! I CARRY TWO LEGACIES BUT I BELONG TO NO ONE! I AM THE ROBIN! I AM THE BLADE! I AM THE CHILD WHO REFUSED TO BE AFRAID! The demon gave me strength. The Bat gave me a choice. And somewhere between them... I found my voice. I AM THE HEIR OF THE DEMON! AND SON OF THE BAT! Not a weapon. Not a shadow. Not a legacy trapped in the past. I am Damian Wayne. And I choose my path. [Outro] (Music strips down to a single orchestral melody.) The heir of the demon... The son of the Bat... Two worlds. One legacy. One choice. (Quietly) Father... I'm ready.
