When the daylight dies, stomp stomp stomp stomp daylight
When the daylight dies, we rise, we rise
Hear the city cry, we thrive, we thrive
The moonlight's burning, the streets are ours
We bloom like ivy, we bite like scars
Every shadow's singing, hear that sound
The night is spinning, the world spins round
Who's got the streets? We got the streets
Who runs the show? We run the show
Who takes it all when the lights go black
We take it all, we don't give it back
When Gotham after dark comes alive
We're the ones who make the city survive
We stop, we clap, we steal the spark
We rule, we rule after dark
We don't need daylight, we own the night
We twist and turn in the pale moonlight
From the rooftops high to the sewers low
There's no place safe from the undertow
Who makes the rules? We make the rules
Who breaks them down? We break them down
Who takes the crown when the day is through
We take the crown and we keep it too
When Gotham after dark comes alive
We're the ones who make the city survive
We stop, we clap, we steal the spark
We rule, we rule after dark
Step to the left, step to the right
Spin round twice
And strike all night
When Gotham after dark comes alive
We're the ones who make the city survive
We stop, we clap, we light the spark
We rule, we rule after dark
After dark
When Gotham after dark comes alive
We're the ones who make the city survive
We stop, we clap, we light the spark
We rule, we rule after dark
We stop, we clap, we light the spark
We rule, we rule after dark
After dark After dark
We rule, we rule daylight dies
We rise, we rise
Daylight dies, we rise, we rise
Hear the city cry
We rise the dark.
