I've been here before. I've stood where you stand.
They called me their hero.

You keep outrunning your past, until it hunts you down.

And he fought bravely, and he died briefly.
But he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save.
And when he died, he died in vain.

Light was a loner. A thinker. A man of ideas.
Ideas forbidden in Wily's society.
The society for which he worked.
The society in which he lived.
The society that he would set free.

What have I done?
Though I did not pull the trigger, I built the gun.

Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe,
So either way you're a casualty.

You wake up knowing things should change,
Not knowing where to begin.

Maybe someday
They'll see a hero
Is just a man who knows he is free.

This city's thinking that it's over,
And she's already fast asleep.

I know. (THIS CITY'S HEART'S STILL BEATING)
I know. (I KNOW THE WEIGHT YOU'RE FEELING)
I KNOW THAT'S HOW THE FIGHT ENDS.
