[Intro: Christian Bale]

As a man, I'm flesh and blood

I can be ignored

I can be destroyed

But as a symbol

As a symbol, I can be incorruptible

I can be everlasting

[Chorus: Ben Schuller]

So far from the end, so far from beginning

Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city

I'm not here to play your game

You won't ever know this pain

Too soon for the truth

Too late for forgetting

[Verse 1: Ben Schuller]

All these secrets

Jagged pieces

All these fears I've called

I don't need them

All these years I'm gone

But I'm breathing

If I'm gonna stand

Make it somethin' I believe in

I know I'll never find another way

Live a lie and justify it by another name (Another name)

How many bullets can a shadow take? (Shadow take)

Yeah, the mask can keep me hidden but there's no escape (There's no escape)

Was never supposed to be the hero for the millions

If that means I live long enough that I become the villain

[Chorus: Ben Schuller]

So far from the end, so far from beginning

Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city

I'm not here to play your game

You won't ever know this pain

Too soon for the truth

Too late for forgetting

[Verse 2: Skybourne]

The rage I feel inside

Is a fire that burns alone

From the pain I've let it out

Through everything I've ever known

'Cause in the night I come to life

As a king to claim his throne

Now it's time to stand my ground

With all I have and on my own

[Bridge: Ben Schuller]

If that means I live long enough

That I become the villain

[Chorus: Ben Schuller & Skybourne]

So far from the end, so far from beginning

Two sides of a coin, two sides of a city

I'm not here to play your game

You won't ever know this pain

Too soon for the truth

Too late for forgetting (Forgetting)
