Protomen – The Will Of One lyrics

Megaman: I have seen this city a thousand times.
Through the glass twenty stories high,
I have watched this city burn. If everything that you
Said is true,
There is no hope someday they will learn. But if I stay
Here with you, then I will never know the truth

Do not say this is how it has to be.

But as I walk through the city streets, these
Frightened people watching me pass;
There is an evil that holds them here, and yet they
Won't try breaking it's grasp.
But if I stay here with you, then I will leave them to
Their doom

Do not say this is how it has to be.
You do no better than the fools of this burning city.

Dr Light: You have heard me tell this story
Many times before you sleep
No matter how dark
Even now, there's hope for man

Megaman: Even here it is not safe
Even this grave has been defaced
Someone has written on this stone
In some angry hand

Hope rides alone.
Hope rides alone.
Hope rides alone.

[The buildings fly past him now. Megaman rushes towards
The east side of the city,
Towards the fortress, towards his fate.
The rusting metal loudspeakers mounted at intervals on
The side of the stone wall are humming,
Chanting now words to settle the stir created by a new
Hero. Words to quell a potential uprising.
Words to inspire fear.
Words to drive back the idea that freedom is within the
Grasp of one angry mob headed by one unstoppable
Leader.
One perfect Machine.]

Megaman: Do not say this is how it has to be
You do no better than the fools of this burning city.

And as I live
There is no evil that will stand
I will finish
What was started: The fight of Protoman

Loudspeaker: We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope.
We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope

Human Choir: We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope
