[Intro — Low Industrial Bass, Distant Sirens] Gotham has a price. Everyone does. And if you can't pay... I'll collect. [Verse 1] Born with money Raised behind a name The city taught me power The streets taught me pain I built my empire Piece by piece Then I learned something simple: Fear never sleeps. You want protection? You want control? You want somebody watching Over every soul? Then look into my eyes... No. Look at the mask. [Pre-Chorus] You think Gotham belongs to the Bat? You think the streets belong to the law? There's always someone underneath... And I'm the one you should fear. [Chorus] PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! LET THE CITY KNOW MY NAME! I DON'T NEED A CROWN! I DON'T NEED A THRONE! I BUILT THIS FUCKING EMPIRE WITH MY HANDS ALONE! PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! WATCH THE WHOLE CITY BURN! You wanted power? You wanted control? NOW YOU'LL LEARN! [Verse 2] Every dealer knows me Every gang knows the face Every crooked man in Gotham Knows exactly who's in charge of this place Money buys loyalty Fear buys more And when somebody betrays me... I remind them what it's for. The Bat can break my weapons He can tear apart my plans But he can't kill an idea When it's already in the hands... Of every desperate man. [Pre-Chorus] You think I'm just another criminal? Another name beneath the Bat? No. I'm the man who turns the city Against itself. [Chorus] PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! LET THE CITY KNOW MY NAME! I DON'T NEED A CROWN! I DON'T NEED A THRONE! I BUILT THIS FUCKING EMPIRE WITH MY HANDS ALONE! PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! WATCH THE WHOLE CITY BURN! You wanted power? You wanted control? NOW YOU'LL LEARN! [Bridge — Quiet, Distorted Piano] Roman Sionis. Son of Gotham. Heir to nothing. So I built everything. The mask isn't hiding me. The mask... IS ME. [Music Builds] You took my company. You took my money. You took my reputation. So I'll take something from you. Your city. [Breakdown — Heavy Industrial Drums] NO MORE RULES! NO MORE MERCY! NO MORE GODDAMN HEROES! THIS IS MY CITY! MY EMPIRE! MY FUCKING KINGDOM! PUT ON THE MASK! PUT ON THE MASK! PUT ON THE— BLACK MASK! [Final Chorus — Massive] PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! LET THE WHOLE CITY KNOW! I DON'T NEED THE BAT! I DON'T NEED THE LAW! I ONLY NEED ONE THING: FEAR. PUT ON THE BLACK MASK! LET THE EMPIRE RISE! GOTHAM CAN KEEP ITS HEROES... I'LL TAKE THE NIGHT. [Outro — Sirens Fading] You can call me Roman. You can call me Sionis. But when the mask goes on... You call me... Black Mask.
