- The Protomen unveil Act II Live for the very first time at Mercy Lounge
I'm including the lyrics, bot not the non-lyric components (of which there are many)
Tom: Emily, A crowd has gathered here
but it is not because of you.
Emily, the taste of blood in their mouths,
I can't imagine what they'll do
but it doesn't matter what they'll do to me.
Emily, have they forgotten you
when they set their sights on me?
They will hang me from the rope tonight.
Will you be waiting there for me?
Will our souls remember where we said we'd meet
on the way out of this town?
I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily.
There's nothing left here for me now.
Emily, It's so quiet now.
It's like the calm before a storm.
They will punish me for what he did to you
but either way it's all my fault
cause I made the man who laid his hands on you.
And I would tear him down, but I feel like a dead man
and what can a dead man do?
Emily: This is not your fault
Tom: I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily.
Emily: This is not your fault
Tom: There's nothing left here for me now.
Here comes the blow.
We find the only man who loved her...
We find the only man who'd give his life
to see her once again... We find this man.
Emily: Not Guilty.
Tom: Guilty... I am Guilty.
His voice has such immense emotion to it, I was in tears within 20 seconds.
his voice is so so fricking EPIC!!!
Wily saying "We find this man" just before Light does is so sinister. It really shows how he's pulling all of the strings in the conflict: by influencing those preceding over the trial with the attempts to discredit Light's name in the media and by influencing Light's own life and thoughts.
"What can a dead man do" almost sounds like a reference to Protoman.
The way he says "...Emily..." at 1:39 is just heartbreaking... I think the Protomen should have done the album version a bit more like this... There's so much more emotion in this version, and the way the second "I'm leaving one way or the other" line sounds in this version is so awesome. What really takes the cake though is freaking Wily in the jury. "Weee fiiiind thiiiis maaan..." That was just too epic.
Huh... That's my brother on the left... The one who frowns angrily near the end and has his arm up for a bit.
@rkyeun lol!
exactly but id rather see a way better version done in animated in actual megaman form maybe a rock collab like how animatrix was done except diff animators for each song
The will punish me, for what he did to you... But either way it's allllll myyyyy fault! 'CAUSE I MADE THE MAN WHO LAID HIS HAAAANDS ON YOU! I WOULD TEAR HIM DOWN, BUT I FEEL LIKE A DEAD MAAAAN! WHAT CAN A DEAD MAN DO?!
