@@josecarbia8181 I was just quoting Protoman. He literally says "there are no heroes, mankind is doomed". You should probly relax. And anyway, the whole message behind every album seems to be that people need to rise up as a whole, not sit around waiting for someone else to change things for them. The message is supposed to inspire all of us to work towards our goals, not just sit around fan worshipping the people who have accomplished things and telling ourselves we can't do the same. Maybe some day they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free.

I love Gambler's voice. I don't get when people say she's out of her range on this one - she sounds awesome to me! Then again, I'm not a musical person, but even so, if she's out of her range, if she's screaming her lines, it serves to show just how dire their situation is and how passionately her character believes in the need to save her home.

It’s not that we don’t deserve a hero. It’s the very fact that we *believe* that we need one that’s holding us back from freedom. We are made to believe that we won’t be strong enough. That a single person can save us. We are poisoned with that belief so we stay silent. In reality, we can *all* be heroes. Together, we can start that fire to light the endless night.

Prediction - best way for this story to end at this point is a large-scale cultural shift in the city. Heroes like Mega Man matter not for what they do, but for how they can inspire the common people, and revive spirit of those who are the dead. It's not the Proto Man that matters, it's the Protomen. After all, a hero is just a man who knows he is free.

I live 50 miles north of San Francisco, California, and the "city by the bay" is a dumpster fire. I recommend not coming to California, Oregon, and Washington,; as they are all dumpster fires. Stay clear for now, perhaps the next 10 years will see a change of improvement/normalcy. Stay away!

Seen some comments questioning whether this is out of the vocalist’s range. As a singer, I can say; She’s RIGHT at the edge of her voice’s range. Not struggling, but at her limit. And then she pushes it even further with the “keeps me alive” phrase. That’s why this is such a powerful performance, that urgency of being on the edge. She is probably what we would call a Mezzo-Soprano, maybe even an Alto, so not the highest pitch type of female voice. But that’s why her voice is more meaty, more full and holding that heavy, strong tone which gives her belting such a great quality and honestly it makes the song.

When I was young, couldn't stand to believe it Somewhere there was a sun left to shine Now my heart won't be still till I've seen it Won't be still till I've made it mine There's a fear, can't be seen, it surrounds me As afraid of the dark as the light Was a time, long ago, these were safe streets Now I'm the only one that keeps me alive Keep me alive! But I know a hero will come There's a face that I've seen in the windows There's a face of a stronger man When I turn, as a leaf when the wind blows Gone away is the will in his hand You've been fed what they wanted to feed you You've been bled of the will to survive Now you stand just as long as they need you But you're the only one that keeps you alive Keep you alive But I know a hero will come And the night, the night will be torn apart And I know we won't fight alone And the spark that we carry will turn the dark into A flame, a fire, a light There must be an end to the darkness No one will come. This City is dead But all of your heroes are gone And the blood that they spilled is on my hands A darkness will block out the sun Not a thing can be done with so few men That a hero couldn't do! 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 go to your knees in fear? 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 God, keep it alive! But I know a hero will come And all of your heroes are gone Someone's got to No one left to Bring back the light Bring back the light And I know we won't fight alone A darkness will block out the sun if we can't Find a way to hold back the night Find a way to hold back the night We can hold out past the endless dark All a fire needs is a single spark

I prefer the live version I think. "And the blood that they spilled is on my hands" sounds a lot more epic in that version.

+Infradead As for the epicness of that line, no argument there, the live version clearly wins that one. The atmosphere of a live performance, might be a boost to that, but still. The understandable choir, the instrumental segment hinting at the possibility (and presumably failure(or at least not YET living up) ) to 'how the world fell under darkness'-levels of world-change (which seems suitable, for something that sounds like a 'the hero refuses the call'-segment ) (And of-course the polish) My personal preference goes to this version, but yeah that line was indeed more epic live. Can't wait (well had some training and very little choice ,but still) to hear the complete thing to see how epic that line should be, plot wise.

***** Nah, it does sound a bit like it but it is "my". Makes sense too, since Light is talking about how the deaths caused by Protoman and Megaman are his fault because he created them.

Well, I found this song thanks to a mirror of Murdoch Murdoch's video, and it was amazing, great music, I do not support the copyright claim considering I found out this music thanks to that, but well, FLAC version bought. Thanks for the great job, I will be sure to check more. :)

This is officially the next Tool album. Definitely, totally, most definitely being made, and certainly coming out at the end of the year every year.

This sounds kinda like they're covering the Rime of the Ancient Mariner...which is a good thing...

Sorry for the necro, but I have to know... you meant Protomen covering the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, right? Because Iron Maiden have an actual song with that title.
