[Intro] (Soft piano. Distant radio static. A single computer tone.) Gotham never sleeps. Neither do I. [Verse 1] I wore the cowl. I learned to fly. I chased the shadows across the Gotham sky. I thought the mask was who I was. I thought the cape was all I needed. But the city has a way of taking what you love. One night. One shot. One moment. And everything changed. [Pre-Chorus] The world went silent. My body wouldn't move. For the first time, I couldn't run toward the danger. I couldn't fight. I couldn't fly. But I could still think. And that was enough. [Chorus] YOU DIDN'T BREAK ME! YOU ONLY CHANGED THE FIGHT! YOU TOOK AWAY THE WINGS BUT YOU COULDN'T TAKE THE FLIGHT! I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL ALIVE! YOU CAN TAKE THE MASK BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY MIND! I DON'T NEED TO STAND TO STAND AGAINST THE NIGHT! CALL ME ORACLE! I'M STILL ONLINE! [Verse 2] While the Bat walked the streets, I watched from the shadows. Every camera. Every signal. Every movement. Gotham became a puzzle. And I learned every piece. I became the voice in the darkness. The eyes behind the eyes. The one who knew where everyone was before they ever arrived. Nightwing needed backup. Batman needed answers. The Birds needed a leader. So I gave them all what they needed. [Pre-Chorus] I stopped asking what I couldn't do. I started asking what I could. And suddenly... I wasn't following heroes anymore. I was guiding them. [Chorus] YOU DIDN'T BREAK ME! YOU ONLY CHANGED THE FIGHT! YOU TOOK AWAY THE WINGS BUT YOU COULDN'T TAKE THE FLIGHT! I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL ALIVE! YOU CAN TAKE THE MASK BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY MIND! I DON'T NEED TO STAND TO STAND AGAINST THE NIGHT! CALL ME ORACLE! I'M STILL ONLINE! [Bridge] (Music drops to piano, electronic pulses, and quiet strings.) They thought the story ended when Batgirl fell. They thought the mask was the hero. They were wrong. The hero was always the woman underneath it. The woman who got back up when getting back up looked impossible. I don't need the rooftops. I don't need the cape. I don't need anyone's permission. I built something they can't take away. [Build] (Radio static grows louder. Drums begin.) You want to know who's watching? I am. You want to know where they are? I know. You want to know how Gotham survives? Look behind the screen. Look through the network. Listen to the voice in your ear. [Breakdown] I'M THE EYES! I'M THE VOICE! I'M THE SIGNAL IN THE DARK! WHEN THE CITY LOSES ITS WAY... I LIGHT THE SPARK! YOU CAN'T SILENCE ME! YOU CAN'T ERASE ME! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DISAPPEAR! I'VE FALLEN BEFORE! I'VE RISEN BEFORE! AND I'M STILL STANDING HERE! [Final Chorus] YOU DIDN'T BREAK ME! YOU MADE ME SEE! I WAS NEVER JUST THE GIRL BEHIND THE MASK! I'M MORE THAN THAT! I'M STILL THE LIGHT! I'M THE VOICE THAT GUIDES THE HEROES THROUGH THE NIGHT! I DON'T NEED WINGS TO REACH THE SKY! I DON'T NEED A CAPE TO CHANGE A LIFE! CALL ME ORACLE! THE CITY'S ONLINE! AND IF THE DARKNESS COMES TONIGHT... I'LL BE THE ONE WHO TURNS ON THE LIGHT! [Outro] (Everything fades except computer hum and piano.) Batman: "Oracle." Barbara: "Go ahead." Batman: "We need you." Barbara: "You've got me."
