I'm surprised no one has posted anything on this. Its a great song and one of the first I heard that should be on Act II (though they came out with a single for it recently).
If I'm not mistaken, Emily Stanton is the love interest of both Light and Wily right? But she falls for Light and Wily rebukes them both. The last few lines of dialogue between Emily and Wily show her feelings and confidence for Dr. Light even though Wily insists that his future is grim.
I dont wanna give more away than that in part because I'm not completely sure of the entire story myself...
I cant wait for Act II. I believe the release date is August 8th but I may be mistaken.
Well, the album is out, and I suspect that the only ones who come here will be interested in deeper interpretation, so here I go!

I think after the choir responds with their final line, that Wily kills Emily for rejecting him. After Light's second insistence that he will not be the father of Death, the narrative jumps into the past to explain the event alluded to and expounded upon in Light's first and second verses (respectively).

Less obviously, and in context with the rest of the rock opera, I think that Wily kills Emily for rejecting him. This shows how much of a sociopath he is, and Light, good man that he is, ironically blames himself for ever trusting Wily in the first place. This misplaced blame - humans are responsible for their own actions, after all, and not the actions of others - is compounded later as Wily convicts Light for the murder and turns the entire city against him, imprisoning Light for the crime and then taking over the world while the only one capable of stopping him is behind bars.
In short, Wily completely ruins Light's life. Whether or not one thinks this makes for good storytelling, I think it must be said that this is a damn sight better than any of Capcom's efforts.
Wily uses (reprograms) Joe, a robot originally created by Dr. Light, to murder Emily. In doing so, Wily frames Light for the murder. This is reiterated in 'The Hounds,' when Wily asks "What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?"
