Blood in the Alley


Verse 1:
Walking through the city, the night so young and bright,
Leaving the theater, hand in hand, bathed in golden light,
A perfect family moment, just me and my son,
But in the blink of an eye, our world came undone.
A shadow in the alley, a gunshot in the air,
My heart stopped beating, a father’s worst nightmare,
Saw my boy fall, in a pool of crimson red,
A life of hope and dreams, now shattered and dead.

Chorus: (Martha Wayne/The Joker)
In the darkness, I cry and scream,
Our boy is gone, it’s a twisted dream,
In madness, I find my only way,
To cope with the pain, night and day.

Verse 2:
Grief-stricken and broken, I made a solemn vow,
To fight the shadows, no matter when or how,
Became the bat, to hunt the night,
In my son’s name, I’d set things right.
Every criminal, every fiend,
Would feel my wrath, my silent scream,
In the cowl and cape, I found my way,
To honor Bruce, come what may.

Chorus: (Martha Wayne/The Joker)
In the darkness, I cry and scream,
Our boy is gone, it’s a twisted dream,
In madness, I find my only way,
To cope with the pain, night and day.

Verse 3:
Years have passed, the fight goes on,
In every battle, my sanity’s drawn,
Gotham’s streets, a battleground,
Where I lose myself, in every sound.
Facing villains, monsters, and more,
With each punch, I feel the score,
The weight of loss, forever near,
In every shadow, I see his fear.

Chorus: (Martha Wayne/The Joker)
In the darkness, I cry and scream,
Our boy is gone, it’s a twisted dream,
In madness, I find my only way,
To cope with the pain, night and day.

Verse 4:
In the depths of night, I see her face, twisted with a smile,
My love turned foe, her mind lost in the shadows, vile.
She laughs in pain, a haunting cry, a sorrow that won’t fade,
Her broken heart reflected in the chaos she’s made.
She became the darkness, the Joker’s mask her own,
In every cruel act, our shattered life is shown.
I fight the demons in the streets, but inside I’m torn,
For every blow I land, my soul feels more forlorn.
She taunts me with memories, of what we used to be,
A family torn apart by fate, trapped in tragedy.
Her laughter echoes in my mind, a symphony of pain,
In this endless night, we both have gone insane.
I see her eyes, once so bright, now filled with despair,
In the twisted game we play, love becomes a snare.
Every crime she commits, every sin she reveals,
In this dark ballet, only agony is real.

Chorus: (Martha Wayne/The Joker)
In the darkness, I cry and scream,
Our boy is gone, it’s a twisted dream,
In madness, I find my only way,
To cope with the pain, night and day.

Outro:
Blood in the alley, where it all began,
A broken family, a shattered man,
In the night, I fight to make it right,
But in my heart, there’s endless night.
