Heath Who Hath No Name - III: The Will of One lyrics

[Intro] I have seen this city a thousand times [Verse 1: Megaman] Through the gla** 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 [Verse 2: Megaman] As I walk through the city streets These frightened people watching me pa**; 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 [Lyric Note 1] 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 [Verse 3: Megaman and Dr. Light] Even here it is not safe: (You have heard me tell this story) Even this grave has been defaced (Many times before you sleep) Someone has written on this stone (No matter how dark this city gets) In some angry hand: (Even now, there is hope for man) Hope rides.. [Chorus] Alone Hope rides alone Hope rides alone [Lyric Note 2] 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 [Verse 4: Megaman/Loudspeaker] Do not say this is how it has to be (We have control. We keep you safe.) You do no better than the fools of this burning city (We are your hope.) And as I live (We have control.) There is no evil that will stand (We keep you safe. We are your hope.) And I will finish (We have control.) What was started, (We keep you safe.) The fight of Protoman (We are your hope.) [Outro: Human choir] We have control We keep you safe We are your hope We have control We keep you safe We are your hope We have control We keep you safe We are your hope
