I tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
I lay dying
and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?
"Optimus,LOOK OUT!!!!!!!" I Have to save him…he's our leader,and if he dies…especially from Megatron's dirty tricks…..then our cause is dead!" Charging the mad war crazed Decepticon leader, Hot Rod made the biggest mistake of his young life…he underestimated the tyrannical warlord. Grabbed by the raving lunatic he was forced into the postion of a mech shield and watched as his leader was blasted over and over, the venom of the despot's words still clear in his audio receptors. "I would have waited an eternity for this Prime…its over!"
"NEVER!!!!!" With his last bit of strength, his leader made a defiant statement, knocking the ravaged manic to his death, then falling seconds latter.
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
"I'm afraid the damage..is lethal." With those words, Hot Rod felt his soul cry out in anguish and pain. "Its my fault….if I hadn't interfered he would be alive…no…no..NO!!!" Helpless, he watched his leader pick Ultra Magnus as his successor, but as he passed over the Matrix..the legacy of our people…..fell from his hand. Without a thought, Hot Rod grabbed the jeweled artifact and ignoring the brief glow, handed it to its new carrier.
do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved
am i too lost?
"You're all alright!" "The Matrix…where is it?" "Lost…Galvatron took it" "Andwithitallhopeallhopegone." "Where did he take it?" "And the answer is…..Unicron!" "Then we get it back!!!" I won't let it end this way!! All we have fought for…all we have accomplished. I REFUSE to let it end!!! We're going to get it back…even if we have to go into Unicron's heart itself!!!
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
"Where's Hot Rod?" "I don't know…but I hope one of THOSE didn't get him!!! CMON!!!"
my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will i be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide
"This is suicide…I can't beat Galvatron!!! This is suicide…but I Have to…the universe needs me!!! "First Optimus…Then Ultra Magnus….and now you!!!! If you Autobots didn't die so easily, I may get a sense of satisfaction." "I…can't..let..him…win. My hand…,The Matrix. It's calling me. What's that voice saying? "ARISE RODIMUS PRIME!!!!" "Optimus? Wait….this feeling. Power,honor,glory,knowledge…the Matrix has chosen me!!! I am Hot Rod…no…I am Prime….I am RODIMUS PRIME!!! "It's the end of the road Galavtron!
