[Intro] (Quiet city ambience. Distant thunder. Soft electronic pulse.) Gotham belongs to the night. That's what they told me. But what happens... when the sun comes up? [Verse 1] I grew up watching shadows crawl across these streets, Watching legends disappear whenever darkness came to speak. Batman owned the night. The Bat-Family followed behind. But I never wanted to live inside somebody else's light. Then the darkness changed. The sun went black. And suddenly I could see what nobody else could. The world was glowing. And I could see it. [Pre-Chorus] I don't see the city the way you do. I see the energy. I see the movement. I see what hides inside the light. And maybe... that's why I'm here. [Chorus] I AM THE SIGNAL! I'M THE LIGHT IN THE DARK! WHEN THE NIGHT TAKES OVER I'LL BE THE SPARK! I DON'T NEED THE COWL! I DON'T NEED THE NAME! I'M NOT HERE TO REPLACE YOU! I'M HERE TO CHANGE THE GAME! THE BAT OWNS THE NIGHT! BUT THE DAY IS MINE! WHEN GOTHAM NEEDS A HERO I'LL BE THE SIGNAL IN THE SKY! [Verse 2] I learned from the Bat. I learned from the family. But I won't become another version of someone who came before me. Bruce taught me discipline. Dick taught me how to lead. Cass taught me that actions can say everything you need. Jason taught me anger doesn't have to own your soul. Tim taught me that intelligence can reveal the unknown. Damian taught me legacy doesn't have to define you. And now... I know who I am. [Pre-Chorus] I don't walk behind them. I don't walk beneath them. I walk beside them. And when the sun rises... I'm the one who stays. [Chorus] I AM THE SIGNAL! I'M THE LIGHT IN THE DARK! WHEN THE NIGHT TAKES OVER I'LL BE THE SPARK! I DON'T NEED THE COWL! I DON'T NEED THE NAME! I'M NOT HERE TO REPLACE YOU! I'M HERE TO CHANGE THE GAME! THE BAT OWNS THE NIGHT! BUT THE DAY IS MINE! WHEN GOTHAM NEEDS A HERO I'LL BE THE SIGNAL IN THE SKY! [Bridge] (Music drops to piano and atmospheric synth.) They built their legends in the darkness. I won't. I don't need to fear the light. I don't need to hide from it. I can see things the darkness can't show you. And maybe that's the point. Maybe Gotham doesn't need another creature of the night. Maybe Gotham needs someone who reminds it... that tomorrow exists. [Build] (Drums begin. Synths rise. Guitar slowly enters.) So when the shadows come... I'll be there. When the city breaks... I'll be there. When everyone else looks toward the rooftops... Look toward the sky. [Breakdown] I AM THE SIGNAL! I AM THE LIGHT! I AM THE FUTURE GOTHAM SEES TONIGHT! I AM NOT BATMAN! I AM NOT HIS SHADOW! I AM DUKE THOMAS! AND I'M READY FOR TOMORROW! [Final Chorus] I AM THE SIGNAL! I'M THE LIGHT IN THE DARK! WHEN THE NIGHT TAKES OVER I'LL BE THE SPARK! I DON'T NEED THE COWL! I DON'T NEED THE NAME! I'M NOT HERE TO REPLACE YOU! I'M HERE TO CHANGE THE GAME! THE BAT OWNS THE NIGHT! BUT THE DAY IS MINE! AND WHEN GOTHAM FINALLY SEES THE SUN... IT'LL KNOW THAT I'M ALIVE! [Final Outro] (The music becomes bright and cinematic.) The night had Batman. The shadows had their legends. But Gotham... has a sunrise. (Pause.) The Signal. (Distant city ambience.) And the sun rises.
