Mega Man X: Maverick Rising lyrics Album freely available at http://maverick.ocremix.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-11 - Tuck 'n Roll When I was younger, my old father would say The only thing worth having was found at the end of each day But that was then and this is now and he's far gone And his voice did linger on for far too long (He said) My fearless son, you can't be stronger than them all The birds control the sky and if you jump, you'll likely fall And you need an alibi just to pass by in this life 'Cause your shell can't protect you from death's scythe (Oh no?) When he left to find himself, I left in spirit and body and soul I also left my family... literally 'Cause if he's not worth anything, then what do I know? I'm just a carbon copy of a damned machine He said You'll never breathe And you'll never touch the water You'll never see The sights that I, your father Have entrusted to you Entrusted to you I'm sorry But you will never touch the sky When my time comes, I'll hold my head up and say The only thing I've lived for is be thrown to the fray No legacy, just digging; digging deep in my soul I've become the underground king of nothing at all I'm under orders to destroy all who dare Disturb this cave and bring a light to my lair I am more dangerous than you comprehend 'Cause there's nothing holding me back from the end --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-12 - Just Like You down in the tunnels underneath the view, i find you daylight is fading fast, pair of fiery eyes burn through nobody realized someone replaced your eyes terrorize everyone just before the sun comes up (comes up) comes up tunnel rhino don't you know me? tunnel rhino tunnel rhino i'm just like you tunnel rhino built like a tank indeed, the earth is trembling from your stride still, i'm about to see metal doesn't breathe inside now here comes the part where we get down and fight till the end never mind history rewrite it with me, my friend my friend, my friend, my friend tunnel rhino don't you know me? tunnel rhino tunnel rhino i'm just like you tunnel rhino tunnel rhino didn't you know i know you and your curse somewhere you've gone hidden in your swan song and died tunnel rhino how'd you know me? tunnel rhino tunnel rhino i'm just like you tunnel rhino tunnel rhino didn't you know i know you and your curse somewhere you've gone hidden in your swan song and died tunnel rhino tunnel rhino tunnel rhino don't you know me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-15 - End of the Beginning It's the end of the fight Looking back on a war... All of those we have lost... Could we have done any more To prevent the death of friends? Whoa-oh-oh... This is not the way the world should be The destruction of so many lives... Why was it you who had to go? To leave us broken and me to grieve? You, my friend who taught me all that I know... Why must you leave our side? A bittersweet victory... I feel it won't be the end Since I've lost my best friend... How can I face them again? Why was it you who had to go? To leave us broken and me to grieve? You, my friend who taught me all that I know Why did you die? Why did you leave our side... Zero? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-10 - Crushing Gravity Gravity Beetle: I was not built for war My drive is now to kill more and more Humans are weak, destroy them all You call me a maverick, but you will fall Give me your life Now, go run I will drag you in With my power, I will crush you In an never ending abyss X, you're on the wrong side of this one Now, come to darkness X: I don't want to fight Precious is life To reploids and humans alike... Gravity Beetle: Your ideals fail you You ancient machine You were the first But here, I am king Come to your doom Your own body is your killer Come to my room And feel the pain of the pressure X: I don't want to fight Precious is life To reploids and humans alike... But you give me no choice And with a heavy heart I will destroy you now For peace... X & Gravity Beetle: You'll be blown away (Destroy, just destroy) Last words you'll say (Survive, just survive) Now you will be known (Please, no, don't) As another mindless drone Gravity Beetle: X... thank you for stopping the terror I had become... Take my power and destroy the other generals... The doctor was good before he was infected... It's not his fault, X... it's not his fault... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-01 - On the Highway (Race Mix) Dreamer: Dude, get this...
