Megaman II. Dr Willy Stage 1

[Intro – atmospheric / clean guitar + synth pad] In the silence of the steel… I can hear the engines breathe… (whispers) Wily… [Verse 1 – 7/8 feel] Circuits glowing in the night, shadows built of chrome and light, every step I take inside, echoes where the fallen hide. Cold precision, no remorse, I can feel the hidden force, gears are turning in my head… am I living… or just led? [Pre-Chorus – build] I won’t break… I won’t fall… hear the system call… [Chorus – big melodic hook] Into the fire I run! facing the damage I’ve done, through every wire and gun, I will become the one! Breaking the code tonight! turning the dark into light, standing alone in the fight… I am the end of your design! [Verse 2 – heavier, 5/4 groove] Fragments of a shattered past, was I built for this at last? Every answer leads to war, every truth I can’t ignore. Metal heart begins to race, as I reach the final place, voice behind the grand machine… calls me something in between. [Pre-Chorus] Not a man… not a slave… something you can’t save… [Chorus] Into the fire I run! facing the damage I’ve done, through every wire and gun, I will become the one! Breaking the code tonight! turning the dark into light, standing alone in the fight… I am the end of your design! [Instrumental Section – prog madness] (Guitar + keyboard unison fast runs) (Time signature shifts 7/8 → 4/4 → 5/4) (Orchestral hits + choir accents) [Bridge – emotional / half-time] Was I made to obey… or to choose my own way? If I fall in this war… will I be something more? [Final Chorus – biggest, choirs] Into the fire I rise! no more illusions or lies, see through mechanical eyes, a new existence defies! Breaking the code tonight! tearing the veil of the fight, ending the infinite night… I am beyond your design! [Outro – epic resolve] (Choir) Ahhh… The system fades away… but I remain…
