Lyrics:

In the city lights, masks on tight
Silent whispers, we're out of sight
Through the alleys, where darkness creeps
We move like shadows, while the city sleeps

With courage bold and hearts pure
We'll strike the wicked, make them sure
Their reign of terror ends tonight
As we step out into the neon light

Whoa, we're takin' back the night
Whoa, we are the Phantom Thieves
From the shadows, we'll make it right
Whoa, justice we believe

Beneath the stars, our mission clear
With each heartbeat, we conquer fear
In the labyrinth of concrete maze
We'll light the torches, set it ablaze

With courage bold and hearts pure
We'll strike the wicked, make them sure
Their reign of terror ends tonight
As we step out into the neon light

Whoa, we're takin' back the night
Whoa, we are the Phantom Thieves
From the shadows, we'll make it right
Whoa, justice we believe
Whoa, we're bringing people hope
Whoa, to fight the darkest days
I'd rather die as a hero
Whoa, than live as someone's slave

In my previous life
I was locked in a cage
and forced to kill the one's I loved.
Now another chance
in a brand new world
and I refuse to waste it

No matter where I go
Despair always follows
Whispers call my name
Stuck in this deadly game
Face the Shadows, break the chains
Through the trials, feel the pain

Despair and Hope lay intertwined
In this game, our fates align
No turning back, our path we chase
In every heartbeat, feel the bass
We'll bend the rules, rewrite the fate
For every soul, we'll liberate

Electric pulses, guide our way
Neon legends, night and day
We'll forge the path that heroes trod
In the name of justice, under stars and above

Whoa, we're takin' back the night
Whoa, we are the Phantom Thieves
From the shadows, we'll make it right
Whoa, justice we believe
Whoa, we're bringing people hope
Whoa, to fight the darkest days
I'd rather die as a hero
Whoa, than live as someone's slave
