This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an iron lung
Machines can keep you breathing but what happens when you find a new world's begun
Flip the switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe
So either way you're a casualty
I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline
And with this spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
Comin' down, you'll never run, either way it's all gonna burn
The only way that they'll ever learn
Gotta turn it off? Flip a switch
Light up the night
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess that we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can still make it right
Maybe we can bring back the light
At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down out on all there is
And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist
It's like they gathered up the City, sold it to the devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how
We were men who would follow any man who would turn the wheels
Now the wheels are spinnin' out of control, what would they do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts what you get is a broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning scream
(Emily!)
Light up the night

But we can light up the night!
There is a city that this darkness can't hide

Maybe you and I
We can light up the night!
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
You and I – maybe you and I –
We can bring back the light!

Parts of those lyrics sound right and parts of them sound misheard, Knob
Like I think it's "cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn" and "well a friend once told me men who would follow any man who would turn the wheels" and "a beacon of light from a burning screen" not "scream"
Without know much of The Protomen's version of the Mega Man story, I'd guess that Here Comes The Arm is Dr. Light finally relenting and after trying everything else and failing, letting Rock fight and equipping him with the Mega Buster?

At this point in the story he hasn't even built Rock yet

Mega Man isn't around in this album. He doesn't show up until song 2 of the first album, which takes place after this one.
The characters in Act II are just Light, Wily, a girl they love named Emily, and Sniper Joe.
Tonight the streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding
No sign of the good doctor but the sirens wailing
Well I'll tell you what I found! [I don't think this is right]
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
Can you question who's to blame?
(What was her name?!)
Doesn't matter. Now listen!
The good Doctor Light 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 there 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 bloodstains from my hands
It has passed 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
But 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!
I'm so mad, protomen are coming near here (3 hrs away) the 25th and I asked for it off and they worked me anyways. le sigh. I have sworn to kill them if they also work me that sunday (ra ra riot)
The opening is:
Tonight the streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding
No sign of the good doctor but the sirens wail and whine
And tell us what they found

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

I am glad I am not the only one having trouble hearing the end of the third line
Two things: misplaced comma, "he did not use his hands, like a smart man he used a tool." I think that's how it's phrased, because it seems like he's complimenting himself on being so smart in framing Light
And I think it's "they'll not switch it off again!" but I'm not sure. It seems like that line is conveying how strong his hold over the people is
Christ this is why I need the CD, I'm thinking way too much about this shit

I need something to do if I can't change my own avsig!
the fall was a great capstone
here comes the arm has the best title but i dont actually remember anything about it after hearing it 3 times so
I'll do Complete My Album or whatever when I get money
Follow me on Twitter??
iTunes makes you pay again to make a ringtone out of a song?
Fuck this
edit: well damn
Follow me on Twitter??
I had just never checked out iTunes' ringtone feature and thought I'd take a look

PSN ID : DetectiveOlivaw | TWITTER | STEAM ID | NEVER FORGET
Light Up the Night is their attack on Wily
The Fall would be them failing
Here Comes the Arm is the long arm of the law coming down on Dr. Light
I'll correct them in a second
The Fall and Keep Quiet are what I want the words to.

Man, there's always one or two lines in almost every Protomen song that I have trouble understanding, even Hounds
Combination of awesome music stings, shouting, and poor hearing on my part

Act I is about Light building Protoman and later Megaman to defeat Wily.
Act II is about how Wily originally rose to power.

I really can't see why they would name the character Joe if they weren't directly referencing Sniper. Any one-syllable name would've worked.
