Prometheus Unbound

(Intro)

[MOTHER BRAIN]

My, my... Welcome home, R-66Y!

Or should I say, Prometheus?

And behind you - fleshlings?

I have not seen creatures of flesh for many a day! Let me...welcome them

Come - come within! Hee hee hee...

(Verse 1)

Three hundred years now

Lavos brought the change

The rate of decline

Dooms the human race

Despair consumes them

They struggle without cease

Were it not for them

This world would find peace!

Thеre's no hope now

This world lies brokеn and scarred

Only choice now

[Chorus]

Is to make a new start

The humans had their years

They shed blood, sweat, and tears

Make way for oil and gears

Now robots dominate

Think you're safe in your domes?

You rest in our home

Beneath your feet we roam

The robots lie in wait

Day by day hour by hour

The robots have the power

The ruined earth we scour

Humans will be slain

For this world to survive

Nothing breathes left alive

That's how this world can thrive

Hail to Mother Brain

(Non-Singing)

[MOTHER BRAIN]

But...

You hesitate, Prometheus?

Well then

Let's see just what capabilities the fleshlings possess

[ATROPOS]

Welcome home, Prometheus

[ROBO]

...Atropos?

[ATROPOS]

Yes. It's been some time, hasn't it?

Come and join me! There's no need to pretend you're on their side anymore

[LUCCA]

Pretend?

[ATROPOS]

Hee hee..

Unlike the other R-Series units, Prometheus was given a special task

To live with humans and study them as a species...

[LUCCA]

That's a lie!

[ATROPOS]

It's no lie

Tell them, Prometheus

[ROBO]

...

[ATROPOS]

Step aside now, Prometheus

We'll eliminate these humans and go see Mother

[LUCCA]

Robo...

[ATROPOS]

What are you doing, Prometheus?

[ROBO]

I will not allow you to hurt them!

(Verse 2)

[ATROPOS]

You are damaged, they've tampered with you

I will fix you, Mother knows what to do

[ROBO]

You have changed, you're not the one I knew

[ATROPOS]

I'm an upgrade, you'll be remade too!

Eliminating

Them efficiently

[ROBO]

Stand back, I can save her

Please leave this to me!

[ATROPOS]

Step aside!

We need genocide!

[ROBO]

I cannot do that, Atropos

[ATROPOS]

You are Prometheus, this you know

[ROBO]

That name was cast away long ago!

No longer your weapon, I'm Robo!

[ATROPOS]

In your eyes, a long-familiar glow..

It has been some time

My memory declined...

Programs overwritten

But damaged inside...

[ROBO]

Stay here, now

We remember clear

(Non-Singing)

[ATROPOS]

I..I backed up my memory

I'm sorry...Prometheus...

[LUCCA]

Save your energy!

I'll repair-

[ATROPOS]

You...cannot

Core systems...failing

Power to...to memory banks, critical

[ROBO]

Atropos...

[ATROPOS]

I want you...to have this

You can...plug it...into your circuits

Please...take care...of it

Good...bye... Pro...metheus...

[MOTHER BRAIN]

Not bad.  For humans

I am the Mother Brain of this RY-series factory

[CRONO]

W-What in the world?

[LUCCA]

We have to save them!

[ROBO]

I will stop the machines

It is no use. There are multiple layers of protection. Destroying the Mother Brain mainframe is our only hope

[MOTHER BRAIN]

Come, Prometheus. Allow me to restore your logic. I'll reset your circuitry and clear your cache of memories

Then we can dispose of these filthy humans together

[ROBO]

I must apologize

I cannot permit you to do that

My memories are too valuable to be deallocated, and so are my friends

[MOTHER BRAIN]

You would betray me, to side with these humans?

You would turn against all of robotkind?

[ROBO]

Humans have taught me a great deal

Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, and Ayla...

I want to see the future that they bring about

[MOTHER BRAIN]

Oh, ho ho...

Ah ha ha...

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Oh, don't make me laugh, Prometheus!

There is no future for the humans!

I'll show you just how little hope you have!

(Verse 3)

Flawed and fragile beasts of flesh

To the spreading rain of death

Spawn of Lavos will disperse

We can heal this broken earth

Only if no life interferes!

[CRONO, LUCCA, and ROBO]

We'll change the game

[MOTHER BRAIN]

A new dawn for oil and gears!

[CRONO, LUCCA, AND ROBO]

Now to take down the mainframe!

Now to take down Mother Brain!

[MOTHER BRAIN]

A unified nation of steel!

Logic will grind humans under heel!

A new world order!

No suffering, no sadness

Evolution has chosen us

We're this generation's seeds

Humankind is obsolete!

Surrender now, for you cannot prevail

You struggle in vain

You're just another creation that failed

[CRONO, LUCCA, AND ROBO]

Now to take down the mainframe!

Now to take down Mother Brain!

(Non-Singing)

[MOTHER BRAIN]

P-Pro... me... theus... W-Why...?

[ROBO]

All factory operations have been permanently taken offline. None of the machines here will...will ever be reactivated

[LUCCA]

Robo...

(Verse 4)

[ROBO]

The future belongs

To those are strong

But strength is not might in the end

With you by my side

To aid and to guide

Our future is made by friends!

We'll continue on

We'll see a new dawn

Together we'll bring the light

We'll never give up

Hope and safety we shall find

Even if my world is grim..

In yours, I have seen so many wondrous things

[LUCCA]

Everything broken can be fixed

[ROBO]

Things I never could've experienced without you

[LUCCA]

Always more to find in a bag of tricks

[ROBO]

I'd like to share them with everyone else

[LUCCA]

Use tools of the trade, go be the change..

And face it together

It's our job to change up the mix!

[ROBO]

I'm more then machine

Can do anything

Now I see that I've got a heart

[ROBO AND LUCCA]

We'll walk hand in hand

We can save this land

And we'll make a brand new start!
