[Intro — Deep, Spoken] You wear the symbol of the Bat... You think it makes you strong. But symbols break. Men break. And tonight... I break the Bat. [Verse 1] I was born where the darkness had a name Raised in a prison where survival was the game Every scar on my body tells a story Every chain that held me only made me stronger You call yourself a hero You hide behind the night But I have lived inside the darkness And learned to see without the light You fight for Gotham I fight for truth And the truth is simple... You are afraid of losing. [Pre-Chorus] You have the city You have the symbol You have the fear But I have something You never had... Nothing left to lose. [Chorus] I AM BANE! And I will break you! I AM BANE! There is nothing you can do! You built your legend I built my strength You wear the Bat I'll break the cage I AM BANE! Remember my name! [Verse 2] I don't need riddles I don't need games I don't need laughter To hide behind my pain I walk through fire I breathe through smoke Every chain that held me Is another chain I broke You think your training Makes you the best But I've spent my whole life Putting survival to the test You are the darkness Gotham thinks it needs But I am the nightmare That darkness cannot defeat [Pre-Chorus] You think you're ready You think you're prepared But when the moment comes I'll show you what despair means [Chorus] I AM BANE! And I will break you! I AM BANE! There is nothing you can do! You built your legend I built my strength You wear the Bat I'll break the cage I AM BANE! Remember my name! [Bridge — Slow, Heavy] You want to know my secret? Pain. Pain taught me patience. Pain taught me discipline. Pain taught me... how to survive. [Build] One breath. One step. One strike. One broken symbol. [Breakdown] THE BAT! IS! BROKEN! [Instrumental — Crushing Guitars] [Final Chorus] I AM BANE! THE NIGHTMARE YOU CREATED! I AM BANE! THE LEGEND YOU UNDERESTIMATED! You built your kingdom On fear and control But I will tear it apart Stone by stone I AM BANE! You will remember my name! You thought the Bat Could never fall... Tonight... GOTHAM WATCHES HIM BREAK. [Outro — Deep, Quiet] You can rebuild the mask. You can rebuild the symbol. But once you've broken the man... He will never be the same. I am Bane.
