[Intro — Whispered] Every question has an answer. Every answer has a price. But if you think you know the game... You haven't seen the puzzle yet. [Verse 1] I was always told I asked too much Always reaching for the truth While the world was satisfied with lies I was searching for the proof Numbers, patterns, hidden signs Every secret leaves a trace And somewhere underneath it all I knew I'd find the face [Pre-Chorus] You call me crazy You call me obsessed But intelligence is such a lonely guest So listen closely I'll give you one clue The greatest mystery... Is standing right in front of you [Chorus] RIDDLE ME THIS! Who knows the city better than the man who sees it all? RIDDLE ME THIS! Who turns every answer into another fucking wall? You can run, you can hide You can bury the truth But every road leads back to me And every question leads to you [Verse 2] A question carved into the pavement A green light burning through the rain A little game across the city And you're playing it again You think you're chasing Edward Nygma But you're chasing what you fear The one thing that you cannot solve The question getting near [Pre-Chorus] You think you're clever You think you've won But the game has only just begun One final question One final clue Tell me, Dark Knight... Do you know who you're talking to? [Chorus] RIDDLE ME THIS! Who turns Gotham into one enormous game? RIDDLE ME THIS! Who'll make the world's greatest detective know my name? You can break every lock You can tear down every door But I'll leave you one more puzzle And then I'll give you four [Bridge — Quiet, distorted] What am I? I have no hands... But I can point. I have no mouth... But I can speak. I have no body... But I can haunt you. What am I? [Whispered] A question. [Build] And you're still looking for the answer... [Breakdown] YOU'RE TOO LATE! THE GAME IS MINE! THE CITY IS MY PUZZLE! AND YOU... ARE JUST ANOTHER CLUE! [Final Chorus] RIDDLE ME THIS! You thought you knew the answer all along! RIDDLE ME THIS! But every certainty you had was wrong! I am the question! I am the clue! I am the puzzle waiting for you! You can lock me away You can silence my voice But give me one question... And I'll always have a choice! [Outro — Whispered] One last riddle... What has no beginning, no ending, and always finds its way back to Gotham? ... The answer? Me. [Distorted laughter] Edward Nygma. The Riddler.
