Melody from the Past Lyrics by The Megas in History Repeating: Red Album.
Melody from the Past Lyric
The detonation shook the walls
 It was coming down
 The empty halls filled with flame
 And everything was burning to the ground
 I called your name, I tried to warn
 But you didn’t hear
 You were torn
 Between the hero and your fears
 
 And I wish that I could be The One
 To finally show the way
 And I wish that I could be The One
 Who knew just what to say
 But I know that there is nothing
 I could ever say or do
 Because you’re The One
 The doctor chose you to be his son…
 
 If I was standing where you are
 I think I would have done what father wants
 But now I know what I’d become
 
 He said to me that I would be
 That I would be the Light when they couldn’t see
 That what they need is a machine
 That would give them hope
 That could keep them free
 That when they’d fall still he would stand
 A savior built by human hands
 
 It seems so strange, so very odd
 A hero’s father could be so very flawed…
 
 An apology so sorry for the man he was
 For the father he couldn’t be
 That I would not be what I was built to be
 If I had a heart it would have broken to see his face
 To see my family
 And The One who took my place
 
 There is a song I hear
 A melody from the past
 When I woke for the first time
 When I slept for the last
 You are The One
 The hero who will stand
 Do not blame father
 He is only a man
 
 What was filled with rage finally understands
 Man is not without mistake
 Unlike that which he builds from his hands
 Though my fate is broken my path I cannot see
 Though you are the chosen
 I’ll make my own history…
 
 There is a song I hear
 A melody from the past
 When I woke for the first time
 When I slept for the last
 You are The One
 The hero who will stand
 Do not blame father
 He is only a man
