[Intro: Batman & Bane]
-Bane, you made a serious mistake
-Not as serious as yours I fear

[Verse: Bane]
Listen here, Bruce Wayne, I am Gotham's reckoning
With plans developing that might feel a bit unsettling
Agent of the shadows, the dark isn't threatening
I was born in it, it molded me into menacing
I just want to make a true despair
But for that you need hope for the two to bare fruit
So how do I make the greatest city crumble?
Rot it from the inside first 'till it tumbles
Fear, intimidation, they are tools
Of compliance, remember every Ra's needs a Ghoul
Excommunicated, but with loyalty to Talia
A real squad that would make a mockery of mafia
Nobody cared who I was 'till I got the mask
Then alas everyone is begging me to give a pass
But I never have, never will, never ask
'Cause it would be extremely painful when I snap your back
Theatricality and deception
Agents of the uninitiated, I reject them
I will storm Gotham with reckless abandon
I'm heavy handed, every hit a crash landing
More than just a brute, you are mentally inferior
Intelligence is at a level matching my exterior
Bruce, you're so boring, you're so linear
Fear's an effective tool, but much trickier
Give the city back to the people, the feeble
Punish the corrupt, and the evil deceitful
And this world will be changed, and made new
And when it's all done, then I will break you
