(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!
