There must be an end to the darkness.
IF THERE'S A WAY OUT OF THIS, SOMEBODY TELL ME.
I never said that men should bow,
I never said that men should break
I only want what's best.
There's a chance, though I know it's a long shot,
And the city is out of time.
All for naught if your heart stops beating, 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS IT ALIVE.
What have I done?
Though I did not pull the trigger, I built the gun
That he holds in his hand.
No he did not use his hands, Like a smart man, he used a tool,
BUT JUST THE SAME.
Cut me down, or let me run, either way:
IT'S ALL GONNA BURN.
THE DEATH OF PROTOMAN.
This city now
Will fade away.
It's crying out,
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
SEND ME THE BEST YOU'VE GOT.
For years I would wake up and scream in the night,
But I'd long for the darkness when I turned out the light.
BUT YOUR EYES SHINE,
JUST LIKE MINE.
Look up at the sky, you can't see the stars.
They've been gone for ages.
And for a while, I let it go, it kept itself between the lines.
(Light fell to his knees and cried out into the night.
He'd sent this boy to his death.)
When the voice from the shadows calls you
When the wind whips past your ears,
Will you stand when the weight is upon you,
Or will you fall to your knees in fear?
Flip a switch and turn it off,
You won't be able to breathe.
But when you fight,
you'll fight alone.
This city now
Will fade away.
It's crying out,
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
(My dearest Emily...
Tonight will mark the end of a life long dream of mine. The completion of a labor I began as a child, even before I knew the words for it... before I knew the ways to accomplish such a task.)
EMILY, AFTER TONIGHT, I SWEAR I WILL WALK AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS.
You can't just set the world at someone else's feet and not get trampled underneath.
And when he died, he died in vain.
You can't just set the world at someone else's feet and not get trampled underneath.
The fight my brother fought
Here, now, will end with me.
You wake up knowing things should change,
Not knowing where to begin.
I want to burn until there's nothing left to burn about.
JUST LET IT ALL GO NOW...
AND IN THE END, YOU'LL SEE THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY.
(One by one they will fall. No mercy will be shown. No hesitation. These are machines. They cannot feel pain. They cannot understand what drives Megaman onward.)
