The Will of One - The Protomen

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.

As I walk through the city streets, these frightened people watching me pass;

there is an evil that holds them here, yet they won’t try breaking its 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.

Megaman stopped.

His path through the city had led him to the grave of his

brother.

Men began to gather below the hilltop where he stood silently,

reading the words of his father carved onto the crumbling marker.

Dr. Light: You have heard me tell this story

Many times before you sleep

No matter how dark this city gets

Even now, there is 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

And 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

We are in control.
