The Protomen Act II - The Hounds

The Protomen at Mercy Lounge unveil Act II for the first time live. 9/25/09
I'm putting up the lyrics but not the nonlyric-components (of which there are many)

Albert: Tonight the streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding. No sign of the "Good Doctor", but the siren's wail and whining tell us he'll be found. I can almost hear the hounds. What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl? No, he did not use his hands. Like a smart man, he used a tool. But just the same, how can you question who's to blame?

Reporters: What was her name?

Albert: It doesn't matter. Now listen... "The Good Doctor" has to pay! When I say he was a monster, when I set fire to his name, it does not matter where you hear it from, whether truth or lies, it gets said all the same. Whatever's on the table plays. There is a flame that I've been fanning. there is a fire waiting to catch. There is a hell that has been building from the moment we first met If there ever was a time, If there ever was a chance, to undo the things I've done and wash these blood stains from my hands, it has past and been forgotten. These are the paths that we must take, 'cause you and I, Tom, we are men and we can bend and we can break. If you think that you can run, If you think that you can stand, well you forget who turned this city on. you forget who plugged this city in. They'll not switch it off again. One by one they're tuning in.

Great song. Brass could've sounded better though :/

[MuramasaMike]

The best Protomen shows involves a crowd that knows how to ask the tough questions, like "WHAT WAS HER NAME?!"

I might as well preorder tickets now for when they come back ~6 months from now, fucking epic.

Jesus fucking Christ, nothing has ever been as awesome as this version of this song. Ever.

For some reason this song was so much better live then I thought it would be.
