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 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 do not say this is how it has to be you do no better than the fools of this burning city but as i live there is no evil that will stand and i will finish what was started the fight of protoman 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
