Fly on a Dog
04:51
|
|||
|
I feel so far from home
Though you stand beside me
I feel alone
I've been built to make a choice
Sent to war without one
Let's destroy
Your Light is going out on me
Humanity is not what it seems
As reality plays my darkest dreams
I can fly on a dog
The end is too far for us to see
I'll make it with you here next to me
I jump high on a dog
He says son to save their lives
You must take the life of one
Wily dies
How dare he call me son?
When I'm clearly a weapon
A loaded gun
Father hides the truth in fear
Maybe if he ignores it
Will disappear
Why did he give me voice?
And still choose not to hear me
Just white noise
Your Light is going out on me
It was you who built this uncertainty
This is your answer
Another machine
I'm just another machine
Humanity is not what it seems
As reality plays my darkest dreams
I can fly on a dog
The end is too far for us to see
I'll make it with you here next to me
I can drive in a dog
Underwater
No shoulder to cry on a dog.

Harder Than Steel

An old fighter's gloves
Hanging on the wall
It's been too long
A challenger has called
Now you stand to lose
Everything you see
Unless you stand up
For what you believe
You've got fists for hands
An iron jaw
But now they say
The Hard Man's gotten soft
You've got the steel
You've got the might
Get back your edge
You will win this fight
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
You're coming back
Word travels fast
You will not be
A relic from the past
You see the crowd
You hear the cheers
They're still with you
All through these years
This is your chance
This is your town
You don't just break the mold
You beat it down
You've got back the touch
You've got back the power
You've trained so hard
This is your finest hour
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
The bell rings out
There's no turning back now
They're on your side
Just fight like you know how
He throws a jab
You land a hook
He's on the ropes
That's when you see the look
The tide has turned
You've got nothing left
They say throw in the towel
But that you won't accept
You're going down
It's the final swing
As the lights go out
The crowd begins to sing
The crowd begins to sing
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
Harder than steel!

GeminEye

Gemini
Stars are out tonight
They're shining bright
Our sign is up in the sky
The stars don't lie
Think I need
A private eye
Gemineye
Someone wants me dead
That's what you said
So I called on you
What can I do
Learn his name
Pick apart the clues
Gemini
I don't want to die
It's not your time
Ignore the zodiac
I'll watch your back
You'll make up
For what I lack
My private eye
We're never going to make it
Look to the sky
Someone is out to get me
The Gemini
I've had all I can take
I think it's time
I go my separate ways
Gemini
When I close my eyes
It's time to hide
I'm stepping back
Then I attack
You speak for me
Everything goes black
Gemineye
How could I be so blind
Falling behind
We're alike in mind
Two of a kind
But it's getting lost
With the more you find
Gemini
I forget my name
It's all the same
So I'm taking yours
Of course of course
We're trapped in here
Someone locked the door
My private eye
We're never going to make it
Look to the sky
Someone is out to get me
The Gemini
I've had all I can take
I think it's time
I go my separate ways
The clues had lead us to a dead end
How dead we would soon see
There was a sound
As the door locked behind us
We were trapped
And the Gemineye
Was anything but surprised
The night was seeming to stretch on forever
And for us it would
This was the end
And now the gloves were off
The truth was out
The hired gun was on his way
And we were both
As good as dead
But I looked to the stars
And I swore
If we were both taking the big sleep
I'd take the rat out myself
My private eye
We're never going to make it
Look to the sky
Someone is out to get me
The Gemini
I've had all I can take
I think it's time
I go my separate ways
I think we'll never
Leave this deadly place
I know we'll never
See the light of day
Again

The Haystack Principle
04:42
|
|||
|
This is not my home
It's where I'm locked away
It's in my design
It's not my circuitry
This is not who I am
You'll never see me
behind this killer's face
These aren't my hands
These needles take their place
Was this all part of the plan
Would you believe this isn't me
That what you get isn't what you see
I'm not a bad guy
I'm just designed that way
No matter what I try
I can't help but hurt those close to me
And I can't see a way out this time
Wait, get to the point
It's hard to blame them
I even scare myself
Built to kill seems to
be detrimental to my health
I guess I should have known
He's on his way down
I hear him just above
I guess it's his job
When pushing comes to shove
At least I won't be alone
Would you believe this isn't me
That what you get isn't what you see
Deep underground, ten miles down
A man stands below the city he will destroy,
Stop
How can I retract these claws
Those are your hands
You can't take back the damage you cause
How can I take off this mask
That is your face
You can't remove the fear you cast
How can I turn off this hatred that fills my eyes
You can't shut down where your path lies
When can I stop being bad
That is who you are
If that's who I am
Then I'll fight who I am!
I'm not a bad guy
I'm just designed that way
No matter what I try
I can't help but hurt those close to me
And now I see a way out this time

Afraid of the Dark
04:26
|

|
This training made me ninja
It spreads and kills who I used to be
I am shadow
you are my enemy
Incoming, drawing closer
This darkness can't help swallow me whole
These shadows hyperactive
Save my soul,
Say goodbye to the Light
The darkness grows
I'm league with the shadow
I can feel the good in me is dying slow
Turning off the sun
Running through the night
I am the knife in a gunfight
Evil left its mark
So tell me -
Are you afraid of the dark?
I feel it taking over
My past is quickly falling away
Battle is what it craves now
Kept at bay
The me that used to be here
Has gone away but I can't say where
I fear I may have killed him
I'm so scared,
Say goodbye to the Light
The darkness grows
I'm league with the shadow
I can feel the good in me is dying slow
Turning off the sun
Running through the night
I am the knife in a gunfight
Evil left its mark
So tell me -
Are you afraid of the dark?
I feel it tearing me apart
Are you afraid of the dark
I feel the shadow in my heart
Are you afraid of the dark
Say goodbye to the Light
The darkness grows
I'm league with the shadow
I can feel the good in me is dying slow
Turning off the sun
Running through the night
I am the knife in a gunfight
Evil left its mark
So tell me -
Are you afraid of the dark?

I'm Not the Breakman
05:40
|
|||
|
Sometimes I can't see the blue through the red
Hard to see the good through your trail of dead
You say you'll do all you can to save them
Killing your own won't make you human
I woke to turn this man to cinder
Circuits afire as I remember
Again I hear a promise spoken
My rage repairs what once was broken
They lost me
Forgot me
Made you from parts of me
If you're The One
My Father's son
Then what am I supposed to be?
You say these things you do are what you choose
This thing you call your will I call a ruse
We follow our path, we walk the program
I've accepted the machine I am
I wear a mask to hide what's been erased
How do you kill a man who has your face
My heart is gone there's only fire
I've met my maker and the man's a liar
They lost me
Forgot me
Made you from parts of me
If you're The One
My father's son
Then what am I supposed to be?
What am I?
I had a name
My father called me Blues
He tore my heart from my chest
To give to you
I'm not broken
I'm not the Breakman
I was the first
I am the Protoman!
They lost me
Forgot me
Made you from parts of me
If you're The One
My father's son
Then what am I supposed to be?
What am I supposed to be?

Make Your Choice
04:15

So we finally meet
Two prodigal sons in the eye of the storm
You say that you stand for peace
But you're the one geared for war
I'm unlike the others you've seen
I'm free from the failings of humanity
I've seen the end
And you are the key my friend
γ:\there_will_be/PEACE
How can there be peace while two sides stand
You're a machine who calls himself a man
You fight for a dream that can never be
Your arguments are noise
It's time to make your choice
γ:\it's_[indecision]_that/DESTROYS
And what of you
The shadows can't hide the rage in your steel
You say you don't care at all
But if he died tell me would you feel
You wait for the choice to be made
You're afraid your purpose has been taken away
If you side with me
I will show you the way
γ:\there_will_be/PEACE
How can there be peace while two sides stand
You're a machine who calls himself a man
You fight for a dream that can never be
Your arguments are noise
It's time to make your choice
You've been here before (How can there be peace)
You know what's in store (You're just a machine)
Mankind is obsolete (You're dreaming)
History will repeat (History will repeat)
This could be the last time (This could be the last time)
One last time (One last time)
You fight for a dream
That can never be
Your arguments are noise
It's time to make your choice
How can there be peace while two sides stand
You're a machine who calls himself a man
You fight for a dream that can never be
Your arguments are noise
It's time to make your choice

I Refuse (to Believe)
04:33
|
|||
|
Father you once told me
You had a dream
You would build a better world
You gave us the machine
Betrayal, mistakes
Have made you lose faith
But you've come too far to turn around
There's too much at stake
You need to see the Light again
So open the door
When I come back we'll start again
The way it was before
The way it was before,
I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will – believe.
Brother if we walk the program
Then what system do you serve
Is your song just lines of code
Or something that you heard
And now you want to know
What you're supposed to be
Stop pretending you don't have a choice
Only that can set you free
And now you want to burn the world
Into the ground
This rage is not your destiny
It's holding you down
It's holding you down,
I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will – believe.
Believe me when I say
If this could end today
I'd do it, I would
For his crimes
Should his life I take
Does that mean no man or machine
Can learn from his mistakes
No man or machine
Is more than their mistakes
I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
I refuse to believe
That I'm nothing more than a machine
I refuse to believe
That we can't learn to see
The truth was in a dream
I will not kill
No I will...

Melody from the Past
06:01
|
|||
|
The detonation shook the walls
It was coming down
The empty halls filled with flame
And everything was burning to the ground
I called your name, I tried to warn
But you didn't hear
You were torn
Between the hero and your fears
And I wish that I could be The One
To finally show the way
And I wish that I could be The One
Who knew just what to say
But I know that there is nothing
I could ever say or do
Because you're The One
The doctor chose you to be his son,
If I was standing where you are
I think I would have done what father wants
But now I know what I'd become
He said to me that I would be
That I would be the Light when they couldn't see
That what they need is a machine
That would give them hope
That could keep them free
That when they'd fall still he would stand
A savior built by human hands
It seems so strange, so very odd
A hero's father could be so very flawed,
An apology so sorry for the man he was
For the father he couldn't be
That I would not be what I was built to be
If I had a heart it would have broken to see his face
To see my family
And The One who took my place
There is a song I hear
A melody from the past
When I woke for the first time
When I slept for the last
You are The One
The hero who will stand
Do not blame father
He is only a man
What was filled with rage finally understands
Man is not without mistake
Unlike that which he builds from his hands
Though my fate is broken my path I cannot see
Though you are the chosen
I'll make my own history,
There is a song I hear
A melody from the past
When I woke for the first time
When I slept for the last
You are The One
The hero who will stand
Do not blame father
He is only a man

Listened to a few songs by these guys years ago but didn't fully get it until I went back to listen to this album as a whole. It is absolutely outstanding to hear a cool rock opera styled album based on the mega man universe. Vengeance is such a fun track of mega man just going wild. Excellent job guys. I am fully on board the hype train for Act 3 now.
