Conception 03:19
The night was so dark, I barely remember. Run out into the rain, can't hold my temper. [CHORUS] I see, Woah! What seems, Woah! Like Death, Woah YES! x2 A chorus of nightmares, shatters my bones. A stampede of rubber, makes me alone. [CHORUS] I don't want, to die, tonight! I've got years, left in me, of fight! An angel, answers, my prayers, She lifts me, up off of, the pavement. She says boy, you are, the king, she says a-boy, you are, the king, The king, of what, I ask... You are... THE KING OF BATS! THE KING OF BATS!!!
2.
[CHORUS] I'm the Bat-King, and I'm here to save you! I am not a hero, I'm just here to save you! Taxes, I got it! Laws, I'll enforce 'em! Politics! I am it! Children, villagers, lay your worries, upon my back. Ladies, gentlemen, don't you fret, I've got your back. [CHORUS] When there is darkness, In the valleys of Warbaush, I will be the politician that Warbaush can rely on. [CHORUS]
3.
Angel I was rescued by, Gave me powers that made me un-die, A wizard she was actually, and here is how she came to be... The Wizard Horowitz is her name, and she has a brother of some fame, He is the Warbaush leader man, And it is quite neat where he began! The siblings were magic users, Because of their daddy, a major abusor. Keaton Michael the name he goes by, He was an evil ice giant, not a nice guy. After Keaton Micheal had passed, His leader position was also passed, To his only son, Tony, Tony, Tony, and his magic to his sister Horowitz. and that is how it happened. The King of Bats has been locked away, The Leader King forces his way. [CHORUS] Hope is gone, Joy is lost, Children are sad, Grass has died. The Wizard Horowitz has been slain, Her daughter Fanny, has been stolen. [CHORUS]
4.
ONE-THOUSAND YEARS!
5.
Light, I see light, after one-thousand years, I see light. After one thousand years, I am awakened, the dearest Fanny, she awakens me. Life, I feel life, once again, I feel Life Hope, Hope is brand new! Love, I feel love, I have never loved before, but I feel love. And that is great.

Yeah 02:16
I'm back like a camel, 23 humps I'm infinite, I'm postive like a pregnancy test, Hard like rocks, I never quit. I'm a real boy like Pinochio, Nose growin' but I never lie, Straight like a conservative, Look to me when your dreams die. I'm hot like a candle, You can never put me out, got that fire like a forest, You can believe in me no doubt. I've got that wonder, like white bread, toast me and butter up, I'm fried like easy eggs, Fill my glass before the party starts.
