[Intro] You walk above us. You never look down. But beneath your feet... There is another Gotham. [Verse 1] Down where the sunlight disappears Down where nobody comes I learned to live with the forgotten I learned what Gotham's done They called me vermin Called me trash So I found my family In the darkness underneath The tunnels became my kingdom The rats became my eyes And every secret Gotham buried Crawled back into the light [Pre-Chorus] You built your city above us... But you never owned the ground. [Chorus] BENEATH THE STREETS! WE ARE WAITING! BENEATH THE STREETS! YOU CAN HEAR US CRAWLING! YOU LOOK AWAY! BUT WE NEVER DISAPPEAR! BENEATH THE STREETS! GOTHAM'S OTHER CITY IS HERE! [Verse 2] I know every tunnel Every sewer Every door I know where the forgotten hide I know what Gotham ignores You think the rats are nothing? Then listen to them scream. One becomes a hundred. A hundred become a thousand. And every one of them... Belongs to me. [Pre-Chorus] You don't see us. You don't know us. But we're closer than you think. [Chorus] BENEATH THE STREETS! WE ARE WAITING! BENEATH THE STREETS! YOU CAN HEAR US CRAWLING! YOU LOOK AWAY! BUT WE NEVER DISAPPEAR! BENEATH THE STREETS! GOTHAM'S OTHER CITY IS HERE! [Bridge] You call us monsters. But who made us? You built the towers. You built the walls. You left the broken underneath them all. So when you hear scratching beneath your floor... Don't ask what it is. You already know. [Breakdown] CRAWL! CLIMB! SWARM! RISE! FROM THE DARKNESS! FROM THE SEWERS! FROM THE PLACES YOU FORGOT! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! [Final Chorus] BENEATH THE STREETS! WE ARE WAITING! BENEATH THE STREETS! GOTHAM IS OURS TONIGHT! YOU CAN RUN! YOU CAN HIDE! BUT YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE SOUND! BENEATH THE STREETS! THE FORGOTTEN HAVE RISEN! [Outro] You walk above us. You never look down. Maybe... You should. Because Gotham doesn't end at the streets. It goes deeper. Beneath the streets.
