The protomen

Light up the night

The protomen
[Joe]
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 war's begun?
Flip a 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 a spark
It's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
Cut me down or let me run
Either way it's all gonna burn
The only way that they'll ever learn

We've got to 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 a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I
Maybe you and I
We can still make it right

Maybe we can bring back the light

[Tom]
At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over 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, they sold it to the devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how

Well, a friend once told me
Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels
Now the wheels are spinning out of control what would they do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning screen

Light it up
Light up the night

[Together]
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night

They made their plans carefully. Spending hours on the details
If Joe could reach the main telescreen on top of the tower in the center of the city - Wily's tower - he could take out the central transmitter
He could stop the broadcasts going out to the satellite screens
He could stop the broadcasts going out to the machines
He could take out Albert's eyes

With Wily blinded, Light could reenter the city undetected
He could complete the task that he had obsessed over for more than twenty years
He could kill Albert Wily. A prisoner caged on the edge of the city, this was Light's chance
His chance not only at freedom, but to exact revenge
To kill his judge, his warden, and the man who'd built his prison
To destroy the man who'd taken everything from him - his life's work, his name, his love

[Together]
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I
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
You and I
We can bring back the light

With Wily's assassin out of the way, they had a small and rapidly closing window
The sniper robot would soon be missed
Their plan finally secure, Light locked the green helmet under Joe's chin and handed him the bag of explosives
Go!—he shouted
