The Good Doctor Lyrics

For the last stanza, I hear:<blockquote><i>And we will stand above the city Rising high above the streets From tops of buildings, we will look At all the lives beneath our feet We will raise our hands above us Cold steel shining in the sun With these hands that will not bleed My father's battle will be won</i></blockquote>At first, I thought Wily sang the last stanza, too. But the lead singer is just one guy, and in their first album, Light's voice crosses into the higher end of his range during <i>Unrest in the House of Light</i>, so I don't think Wily is singing at the end.

Also, I recommend including speaking roles, but that's just me.

At any rate, as for meaning: This is pretty standard establishment stuff, setting the tone of the story and laying out the character of Light as a public-spirited genius, and hinting at Wily's megalomania. Light wants to build robots so that people won't have to suffer for their bread; Wily wants to be paid in loyalty for "solving" the problem of manual labor for everyone. It also gives motivation to Dr. Light, and explains why he started building robots in the first place (which is how he met Wily), which is completely absent from the video games.
