I *think* in the chorus he says You go splat- I go blam.
Also, in verse one I heard the lyrics as A mask to protect different people from suing. Although I guess that wouldn't make as much sense as pursuing. Keep up the good work. You're better at this than I am. lol
@DelightfulTyrant I could have clarified a little better than I did. What I was referencing is in the chorus after You don't know what I got in my hand....the shape of a bat......you go splat, I go blam. Get it? Like the original Batman tv series and the old movies (I think the first one was in 1966? Don't quote me. lol). Anyway, I realize those are unusual lyrics by some standards but the old stuff was loaded with onomatopoeias.
@2tontwentyone Yea, 'for soon i'd/to be a man' has been suggested, but i swear i hear an F in there that keeps me from updating that line. The Sorbonne part though is spot on, i've filled in that blank. Thanks for the help, it's comin' together.
@clockworkcorvid Looks pretty good so far. Yeah, I don't have the faintest idea what he's saying in those blanks lol. The only correction I could possibly see is, I think that line in the chorus is "I jump up and then I land", not "ran". But I could be wrong. Nice job though!! :D
@Cyfin I'm gonna try to write down the lyrics in the description, but they won't be official, just my attempt. Feel free to tell me if you think i got something wrong.

He really needs to do more songs like this. So many of his songs disappoint me with some lame hook or beat. Best song in awhile + QT mother fucker

"Dad had the limo out back" not "Dad passed a little while back"
I think the W sound between "limo" and "out" confused you.
It is a reference to their car being parked in a way that made them take a short cut through crime alley and their inevitable mugging.

You got quite a bit I didn't have, but I have a few bits I hear differently:
"A symbol sent to evil, could focus their anger"
"A mask to protect him from people pursuin"
"Dad had the limo out back" (I'm pretty sure of this, his parents die at the same time, which happens a few lines down)
"It was ___ in Crime Alley and my father was dead"
"Alfred found me I was howlin like a pup on his own"
"For soon I'd be a man that would need to begin"
"Over 100 forms of hand to hand anguish"

I believe the final lyric is:
Brooding in the darkness with a bust of my father
A bat through the window, a question of honor

I am the Batman.
I jump up and then I land.
You don't know what I got in my hand.
The shape of a bat,
You will splat on command.
(at least this is how it sounds to me lol)

Big Z on the screen meant "dueling" in danger...
(???) "is a peddler", packed plenty of socks
For soon "to be a man that will" need to begin
Nerve pinch in a pinch "never called off a" strike <-- less sure about that one
The "question of honor" on the last line mentioned in the comment below mine sounds right to me. Just my two cents ;o
cloudstrifex88 5 months ago
last line, "a question of honor" fairly positive.

Here's the stuff I caught....
Verse 3- For soon "I'd be a man but" I need to begin. (I think)
Verse 4- Went to Cambridge, "Sorbonne" (a prestigious school in Paris)
I'm only positive on the Sorbonne, and I'm gonna keep listening for the other blanks

@clockworkcorvid I think the "F" you're hearing is a "th"...I think it's "For soon I'd be a man that would need to begin"

@clockworkcorvid "Leopard Palm, Knuckle Strike" is the last blank I think.

I think it says "The shape of a bat, and 'SPLAT' and 'KABLAM'"
I could be wrong, though.

Ok, got through the first verse but then got stuck. Some parts are really hard to translate. I'll try to have lyrics of some kind up before tonight.
clockworkcorvid 5 months ago
@clockworkcorvid after "knowledge within" the blank is for soon to be a man think we need to begin.
At least i believe that's it. Could be wrong but it's close :) ty for posting song btw
