In the damp and darkened street
Blood is running cold
For in the ghostly moonlit walls
Terror will unfold.  
For one young man, this is the night
That fury will arise
And at that time he'll aprehend
Who he does despise.  
The criminals have done the deed
That fills his heart with rage.
And in his life, he only thinks 
That life is just a stage.  
He feels as if he acted wrong
That led his parents' death
His soul was filled with vengance
But released a single breath.
And now he stands in shadows
Waiting for the prey
He only hunts in twilight
And rarely in the day.  
His overwhelming thinking 
Has got him where he's at.
His well known name has grown into
"The man within the bat."
