A winter's night - In a deep and ebon darkness; I am alone! Hiding in my Batcave, Shadows that I crave, Vainly looking for a stranger I can save.
I am a rock! I am an island!
I've built walls - A cavern deep and mighty; That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship, Friendship causes pain, It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock! I am an island!
Don't talk of love - Well, I've heard the word before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber, Of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock! I am an island!
I have my mission, Kevlar and Nomex to protect me - I am shielded in my armor; Hiding in my gloom, Safe within my womb, I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock! I am an island! And a rock feels no pain ... And an island never cries ...
The End
