Phantom Knight (The Dark Knight Reimagined Part II)

[Intro - Slow, pulsing bass with eerie synths building tension] [Verse 1] By day, I build the towers tall, A kingdom made of steel and gold. Behind the glass, I watch it fall, The city rots, the streets grow cold. [Pre-Chorus] They whisper tales of a shadowed knight, A ghost that haunts the neon light. They don’t know he’s in my mind, Born from dreams I leave behind. [Chorus] I close my eyes and take the dive, In the dark, I come alive. A phantom knight, a silent ghost, The savior they believe in most. But when the sun begins to rise, He fades away before my eyes. [Verse 2] Boardrooms filled with hollow men, They shake my hand, they fake their grins. They bleed the city from within, No mask, no cape, yet they still win. [Pre-Chorus] So I escape where legends rise, A midnight war in a dreamer’s mind. A world where justice wears my face, Where monsters fear my shadow’s chase. [Chorus] I close my eyes and take the dive, In the dark, I come alive. A phantom knight, a silent ghost, The savior they believe in most. But when the sun begins to rise, He fades away before my eyes. [Bridge] I see their fear, I feel the fight, The crash of fists, the break of light. But when I wake, it’s all the same, Just a man in a cage of shame. [Outro] The city cries, but I stand still, No caped crusader, just a man of will. And in the glass, a haunted sight, The face of a dream that won’t ignite.
