Protomen - Father of Death

The Protomen aren't exactly widely known. People can't support a band they don't know about. Ergo, I will upload this and a few other iconic songs from the Act.

Light: What have I done?
Though I did not pull the trigger
I built the gun
That he holds in in his hand

Last night I dreamed
I climbed to the top of a mountain of metal
and for miles I could see
the destruction of man.

I will not be the Father of Death.

Darling Emily
Everything that I have done
I have done for you
But it turned out all wrong.

Can I take it back?
Can I turn off this machine
before it destroys
everything that I love?

I will find a way to make this right!
I will find a way, Emily.

I will not be the Father of Death!

Emily: What are you doing here?
Wily: Let me take you away
Emily: I'm not going anywhere.
Wily: He will be nothing when this runs its course!
Emily: He will be everything that a man is supposed to be!

Choir: There will be Light!
Emily: If it stays 'till the sun is set!
Choir: There will be Light!
Emily: If the sun never shows its face again!
Choir: There will be Light!
Emily: No matter how dark the city gets!
Choir: There will be Light!

Went to a concert of them last night. Let me tell you when you're in the middle of an actual crowd singing 'there will be light!' it gets about 10 times more awesomer.

[vacantgreen]

There will be motherfucking light.

[makkeliten]

from just listening, i though he said "I did not pull the trigger!.. i ate the gun", EPIC FUCKING SONG

[Econniff]

You know...I don't even like the Megaman series, and I think this album is awesome. That's how good The Protomen are.

[cptcommunism99]

It's so much better live. And it's already amazing in studio.

Though if you go to a concert, you will NEED to know the crowd chants. Or you'll end up feeling dumb. Ah, that poor friend.

In my head, i see Doctor Light and Wily in their youth, building their machines for the people, both happy, then Wily turns on Light, and Light can see the factory's producing the machines he designed to work and protect, used for war and death. He shed's a single tear before racing off with Joe to blow up said factories.

@samwiseshatbatch You should listen to the full version off of the single... honestly, I'm kind of thinking they went with this one for the album because her 6 lines on that single blow EVERY other vocal in both acts COMPLETELY out of the water. The view code is /watch?v=G7T7wsX5BH0

[gornak5]

just saw them tonight and they sound even better live....they put on quite a show...they just started a new tour....GO SEE THEM!

[Lunarvx22]

What. Have. I. Done..

Though I did not pull the trigger, I built the gun.. That he holds in his hand.

Tell me I'm not the only one who always gets this specific line stuck in my head.

[samwiseshatbatch]

Her voice is nasally.

@cooltell Rofl!

[AGrayPhantom]

@forgotenm There's another version of this song?

I think the only reason people don't like Emily is because all the other vocals to this point have been male. hearing her voice is a stark contrast to the masculine tones we've been used to to this point. Her voice fits the setting and the tone and she hits all the right notes.
