Abandoned Memory

Happy Halloween, nerds.

I wanted to be annoying and put my "Halloween-y" song out on the 31st, but unfortunately it still isn't coming out how I imagined.

This is my version of the Mega Man 10 tracks that my friends at Inti Creates and I did, Abandoned Memory. I'll go into more detail when the entire album is out, but lots of people asked me to cover this song, and it's very nostalgic for me, so why not do it, for a 3rd time. (For all intents and purposes, we are considering the R10 Image Soundtrack version as a remix I did.) And I thought lyrics would be a fun addition.

Before anyone asks, "Why didn't you wait until an anniversary or something?" There's a reason, and it makes sense to only me, and also because I said I was gonna put out at least one new "personal project" song this year, and I chose this one.

Huge thanks to my boy Masaya for being the angelic voice on the track.

Japanese, Romaji, and English lyrics are included if you're interested. Please let me know if there are tech issues and I'll probably do something about it idk.

I hope you like it.

- Eve

日本語
鋼(はがね)と火に 生まれた僕
ワイリーの影 消えはしない
壊れそうな この体で
まだ登るよ 終わりじゃない

負けた日々も 消せはしない
消えた記憶 抱いて進む
静かすぎる この世界で
声を上げて 闇を裂くよ

立ち上がれ 今すぐに
運命(さだめ)を壊せ
壊れた夢 抱きしめて
僕は僕のままで
ワイリーには 負けないさ
頂点(ちょうてん)まで行こう

彼の罠(わな)に 倒れた仲間
その涙を 無駄にしない
ここで終わる そんな未来は
僕が今 変えてみせる

立ち向かえ 真実(しんじつ)へ
希望を繋げ
壊れた夢 抱きしめて
戦い続けよう
誰よりも 強くなる
頂点まで行こう

Romaji
Hagane to hi ni umareta boku
Wairii no kage kie wa shinai
Kowaresou na kono karada de
Mada noboru yo owari janai

Maketa hibi mo kese wa shinai
Kieta kioku daite susumu
Shizuka sugiru kono sekai de
Koe o agete yami o saku yo

Tachiagare ima sugu ni
Sadame o kowase
Kowareta yume dakishimete
Boku wa boku no mama de
Wairii ni wa makenai sa
Chouten made ikou

Kare no wana ni taoreta nakama
Sono namida o muda ni shinai
Koko de owaru sonna mirai wa
Boku ga ima kaete miseru

Tachimukae shinjitsu e
Kibou o tsunage
Kowareta yume dakishimete
Tatakai tsudzukeyou
Dare yori mo tsuyoku naru
Chouten made ikou

English
Born of steel and fire
Wily's shadow won't fade away
With this fragile body
I'll keep climbing, it's not over yet

Days of defeat won't vanish either
Holding vanished memories, I press on
In this world too quiet
I'll raise my voice and tear through the darkness

Rise up, right this moment
Shatter this fate
Holding broken dreams close
I'll stay true to myself
I won't lose to Wily
Let's reach the very top

Comrades fallen to his trap
Their tears won't be wasted
A future ending here
I'll change it now

Face the truth head-on
Keep hope alive
Hold tight to shattered dreams
We'll keep fighting on
Become stronger than anyone
Let's reach the very top
