Just a dime store poet
Keeping pace, talking his face blue
Two dollar store tramps
To get a glance, a new chance at you
Walk past the dance floor
That's always been a dear friend of mine
Cuckolds and concubines
Dancing in four, four time
'Hey mister' the bellman says 'I can only recall and spend some time I said'
So he replies 'Then how do you manage'?
I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
In love, I've always been a mercenary, but I never leave my post when the cash runs out
I want to make you quiver
Make your backbone shiver
Hey kid, take the stage and deliver
'Hey mister' the bellman says 'I can only recall and spend some time I said.'
So he replies 'Then how do you manage'?
I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
'How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent's blood?
Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help you bury your feelings?
Hiding your true self
You're truly an extraordinary specimen; I look forward to breaking you'
I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
'Hey mister' the bellman says 'I can only recall and spend some time I said.'
So he replies 'Then how do you manage'
I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
'Hey mister' the bellman says 'I can only recall and spend some time I said.'
So he replies 'Then how do you manage'
I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage

Coheed And Cambria - Deranged
This city's lost it's hope, I repeat, I boast
The strange will walk alone
They scurry with their doubt, darkness shrouds, the sirens shout
Against the concrete below
Oh, this works all for you and me, it's all our being
We'll burn this city down!
Who will be your pretty, little enemy?
When I'm gone your world will prove empty
I promise you will always remember me
The joke's on you, poison me
While you clean the streets of misfortune
I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth
We're one and the same deranged
We were our worst nightmares delight
And I promised you
As you always knew
Our world's no paradise
Who will be your pretty, little enemy?
When I'm gone your world will prove empty
I promise you will always remember me
The joke's on you, poison me
While you clean the streets of misfortune
I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth
We're one and the same deranged
There is no me without you
I will behave, I will be
An afterthought, your make believe
Your darkest day is your friend in need (ha ha ha ha)
The strange will walk alone
They scurry with their doubt, darkness shrouds, the sirens shout
Against the concrete below
Oh, this works all for you and me, it's all our being
We'll burn this city down!
Who will be your pretty, little enemy?
When I'm gone your world will prove empty
I promise you will always remember me
The joke's on you, poison me
While you clean the streets of misfortune
I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth
We're one and the same deranged
We were our worst nightmares delight
And I promised you
As you always knew
Our world's no paradise
Who will be your pretty, little enemy?
When I'm gone your world will prove empty
I promise you will always remember me
The joke's on you, poison me
While you clean the streets of misfortune
I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth
We're one and the same deranged
There is no me without you
I will behave, I will be
An afterthought, your make believe
Your darkest day is your friend in need (ha ha ha ha)

The Duke Spirit - Creature
Creature
Tell me what you've done
Crowing at the sky
Vicious are your eyes
Trying to sink the sun
Trying to sink the sun
Kingdom
Comes to everyone
Hands up when you're done
Do not push me out
I'm trying to let you in
I'm trying to let you in
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
Neighbor
Step inside my space
Wearing a hunter's face
You smell like an enemy taste
I'm the only one
To languish in the sun
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
Tell me what you've done
Crowing at the sky
Vicious are your eyes
Trying to sink the sun
Trying to sink the sun
Kingdom
Comes to everyone
Hands up when you're done
Do not push me out
I'm trying to let you in
I'm trying to let you in
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone
You should know
Blood is on the moon
And when you go
You go alone

Step inside my space
Wearing a hunter's face
You smell like an enemy taste
I'm the only one
To languish in the sun

Blaqk Audio - After Dark
I wanted to help you,
escape from the day
I couldn't speak to you,
it might hurt my racer's heart
I couldn't speak to you,
for what could I say?
These words seem obscene now,
in the light to the racer's heart
(Chorus)
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become after dark
You know we have nothing by silence of day
I couldn't speak to you
I have nothing to say to you
(Chorus)
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become after dark
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning...
just who we become after dark
You know, you know we've got no reason to speak
Come the sun, when it's done
We've no reason to speak
(Chorus)
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become oh'
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning...
just who we become after dark
escape from the day
I couldn't speak to you,
it might hurt my racer's heart
I couldn't speak to you,
for what could I say?
These words seem obscene now,
in the light to the racer's heart
(Chorus)
Well the words aren't coming,

By day they are far too stark

Crosses - The Years
As I sleep, I'm in your head
so watch you
With castles, I'm in your dreams
watch me
(Chorus)
As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
we sing
Watching the holy ghost, watch you
In a battle you may have won, by mistake
(Chorus)
As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
I crawl through your head
As the years go by,
Weaving
Oooh(repeated)
(Chorus)
As the years go by,
Weaving
And the years go by
We crawl through our veins
And the years go by
We crawl through our heads
Weaving
so watch you
With castles, I'm in your dreams
watch me
(Chorus)
As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
we sing
Watching the holy ghost, watch you
In a battle you may have won, by mistake
(Chorus)
As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
I crawl through your head
As the years go by,

Oooh(repeated)

As the years go by,

And the years go by
We crawl through our veins
And the years go by
We crawl through our heads

The Damned Things - Trophy Widow
I think nothing can stop this, nor will I settle for less. I was first in the front seat, awaiting the love that would
crash. And as the end of the world arrives, I welcome the new beginning.
My first kiss of death...
Too many evenings fall, and topple the wire...A final challenge on, Its a good night.
Separate lives, to chain and bind me to another world, I can't move on, without you, stopping me. All the wise, that's why
we fight it to the full, I can't move on, without you....Stopping me.
The system meets nirvana, I pray to sacrifice the pain...When the preachers preach the word, only the man will bear
witness...
Save your cents...
Too many evenings fall, and topple the wire...A final challenge on, Its a good night..
Separate lives, to chain and bind me to another world, I can't move on, without you, stopping me. All the wise, that's why
we fight it to the full, I can't move on, without you....Stopping me.
Blinded lightnings fall, and caught in a little lie, as the chains come down. We're not saved just yet, but we might be a
little more than, halfway out..

Daughtry - Drown In You
There's a place where you can light the fire and watch it burn
Lay it down and lose it all
It's taken me so far beyond the point of no return
Gave all that I had when hope is gone (hope is gone)
Is this real or is it just another crazy dream?
That someday soon will fade away
Fills you like I'm under water and can barely breathe
Dying in the bed that I have made
I don't wanna drown in you
I'm thinking that I'm starting to
So when you see me crawl up for air
Don't try to hold me down, just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
(Don't let me drown in you)
This city pulls me in closer than I've ever been
There ain't no way I can escape
Without a doubt you know that I would tread the deepest in
Thousand years forever and a day
I don't wanna drown in you
I'm thinking that I'm starting to
So when you see me crawl up for air
Don't try to hold me down, just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
Did I bring this on myself?
Can I get out alive?
Yeah, I've given you the best of me
Now you want the rest of me
What's it gonna take to survive?
Yeah!
(Solo)
There's a place where you can light the fire and watch it burn
I don't wanna drown in you
(Drown in you)
I'm thinking that I'm starting to
(I'm starting to)
So when you see me crawl up for air
Don't try to hold me down, just save me now
(Just save me now)
Don't let me drown in you
Don't let me drown in you
(Drown in you)
(Just save me now)

Lay it down and lose it all

Serj Tankian - Total Paranoia
Stop by your nightmare
on a dark road today
Such a wind through his white hair
Such a grin on his face.
His eyes were like distance and he bore into mine
They shone and they glisten like they drive me blind And he
stood there before me And he
cried out in pain
You think you can ignore me
you think you'll get away
Ready or not
It's like total paranoia
Anything you say
He can twist his way
It's really too much
It's like total paranoia
Anywhere you go
He is sure to know.
He said stop, please and listen
Can we try to be friends?
Why is it always so twisted
but he cried out again
You can't stand to remember
You can stand to forget
You won't lift a finger
for the storm of regret
Ready or not
It's like total paranoia
you know how to pray but he won't go away
it's really too much it's like total paranoia
close your eyes he'll be, there all night
close your eyes he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night
on a dark road today
Such a wind through his white hair
Such a grin on his face.
His eyes were like distance and he bore into mine
They shone and they glisten like they drive me blind And he
stood there before me And he
cried out in pain
You think you can ignore me
you think you'll get away
Ready or not
It's like total paranoia
Anything you say
He can twist his way
It's really too much
It's like total paranoia
Anywhere you go
He is sure to know.
He said stop, please and listen

It's like total paranoia
you know how to pray but he won't go away
it's really too much it's like total paranoia
close your eyes he'll be, there all night
close your eyes he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night
he'll be, there all night

A Place To Bury Strangers - In The Shadow
I've lived my life
To stand in the shadow of your heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream could breathe new life
Just like the memories you had with me
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
The way you lie
Sends an arrow straight into my heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream can breathe new life
Maybe that's just in my head
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
You want me back
But I don't care
I want you back
But you're not there
I've lived my life
To stand in the shadow of your heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream could bring new life
But the close you had with me
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
You want me back
But I don't care
I want you back
But you're not there
To stand in the shadow of your heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream could breathe new life
Just like the memories you had with me
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
The way you lie
Sends an arrow straight into my heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream can breathe new life
Maybe that's just in my head
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
You want me back
But I don't care
I want you back
But you're not there
I've lived my life
To stand in the shadow of your heart
You make my dreams complete
And then crash them down
But every dream could bring new life
But the close you had with me
I want to take you down
But now
You want me dead
You want me back
But I don't care
I want you back
But you're not there

The Boxer Rebellion - Losing You
I have no demonstration
No forgiveness left to speak
Nothing I could even offer
Nothing more than my defeat
I have a plan to leave this all
These things I occupy
I have a plan of cover
My running thread to justify
The running thread to justify
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
The details of this city are obstacles I'd soon forget
There's nothing here to keep me
There's nothing nothing left here to regret
There's nothing nothing left here to regret
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
This is it for me
They left to be
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
No forgiveness left to speak
Nothing I could even offer
Nothing more than my defeat
I have a plan to leave this all
These things I occupy
I have a plan of cover
My running thread to justify
The running thread to justify
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone
And I'm done with losing you
The details of this city are obstacles I'd soon forget
There's nothing here to keep me
There's nothing nothing left here to regret
There's nothing nothing left here to regret

And I'm done with losing you
This is it for me
They left to be
I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone

I'm done, I'm done with losing everyone

Batman: Arkham City is a 2011 action-adventure video game based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. Two music albums were released alongside the game: Batman: Arkham City - Original Video Game Score which contains the game's original score by Nick Arundel and Ron Fish and Batman: Arkham City - The Album containing songs by various mainstream artists.
To accompany the original score, WaterTower Music published Batman: Arkham City - The Album, featuring musical contributions to the franchise by various artists. The album was digitally released worldwide on October 4, 2011, via major electronic retailers iTunes and Amazon MP3. The iTunes deluxe edition included a portion of Arundel & Fish's original video game score 14 days before its standalone release. A physical audio CD release accompanied the digital version. The Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition is also to include The Album via digital redemption, featuring an additional exclusive track. All 11 tracks were included on CD from retailer Best Buy.
On their contribution to the album, Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria said "I write in a very conceptual format with the stories that surround Coheed and Cambria, but Batman has a much larger, defined history and rules that go along with it" and that "my goal was to find universal themes from Batman's existing history to help give the lyrics legs and dimension so that the song could live within that world". Panic! at the Disco's involvement with the album was publicised on their website on September 22, 2011, with the announcement of their track "Mercenary".
