The Protomen - V: The Stand (Man or Machine) lyrics
[The Protomen - V: The Stand Man or Machine lyrics]
Megaman dropped to his knees
And lowered his weapon
Dr light stepped quietly out of the crowd
You're trying to understand i told you
Your brother had been killed
Yet, here he stands in the very shadow of
The man you came here to destroy
You came here to avenge his death you came
Here to save mankind you see now
You cannot do both
Megaman's eyes raised to meet his
Brother's protoman met his stare
Held it for only a second and turned
His attention to the bloodthirsty crowd
Tell me now is there a man among you here?
Is there no one who will stand
Up and try to fight? Tell me, Man!
Is there not one in all your ranks?
Is there not one who
Values courage over life?
Protoman turns his attention back
To his brother
They looked to me once now they turn to you
Do you understand now?
Do you see that the truth is
They don't want to change this?
They don't want a hero!
They just want a martyr a statue to raise
I've given everything I can
There are no heroes left in man
So it begins!
No matter which one of us lives
The ground we're standing on will
Crack and blow away and you will fight
But when you fight, you'll fight alone
And in the end you'll see
There was no other way
I've been here before i've
Stood where you stand
They called me their hero, The Hero of Man
But why should we save them
When they stand for nothing?
If they deserve life
Let them stand for themselves
We've given everything we can
There are no heroes left in man
They'll watch you die to save their lives
They will not stand here by your side
Suddenly Protoman stops his eyes fall on
His father his face changes almost
Imperceptibly nothing changes but
His eyes then, as quickly as he'd stopped
Protoman leaps off of the
Shattered robots and lands in the midst of
The remaining army throwing his bare hand
Into the side of one robot, Protoman sends
Him flying into the ranks three
Four robots fall under Protoman's
Powerful blow he destroys
His own legions as he makes his
Way to the front of the line he
Stands alone in front of Megaman
We've given everything we can
There are no heroes left in man
So let them watch as we decide
The very fate of all mankind!
The air is thick with smoke
Protoman makes no move, but
Stands, still at some distance
At the ready megaman
Still fighting to fully grasp the
Truth of the situation
Raises from his knees his
Weapon raised hesitantly
Megaman locks eyes with his
Brother but breaks
Free seconds later his eyes dart
Over the crowd searching for Light his
Father's eyes are on the ground
Dr light can watch no more the
Crowd watches with fiery intensity
Megaman's eyes fix once again on Protoman
His weapon drops to his side
And lowered his weapon
Dr light stepped quietly out of the crowd
You're trying to understand i told you
Your brother had been killed
Yet, here he stands in the very shadow of
The man you came here to destroy
You came here to avenge his death you came
Here to save mankind you see now
You cannot do both
Megaman's eyes raised to meet his
Brother's protoman met his stare
Held it for only a second and turned
His attention to the bloodthirsty crowd
Tell me now is there a man among you here?
Is there no one who will stand
Up and try to fight? Tell me, Man!
Is there not one in all your ranks?
Is there not one who
Values courage over life?
Protoman turns his attention back
To his brother
They looked to me once now they turn to you
Do you understand now?
Do you see that the truth is
They don't want to change this?
They don't want a hero!
They just want a martyr a statue to raise
