NEW YORK (AP) - "The Dark Knight Rises" composer Hans Zimmer has composed a song dedicated to the Aurora, Colo., shooting victims.

Zimmer posted the track "Aurora" on his Facebook page Friday. Zimmer said he recorded the song in London in the days after the theater shooting last week. All proceeds are being donated to a fund for victims of the shooting that killed 12 people.

The eight and a half minute song is being sold for donations from 10 cents to $2,500.

Zimmer has scored all three films in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

Listen to part of the song here.
