The Virus Within - A Prototype Song about Alex Mercer

One of the most badass characters I ever played during my teenage years. Prototype and Infamous gave me a sense of freedom I had never experienced before (though some cities paid the price, but luckily, they were only digital).

If you’d like to treat me to an Amasec or become a Support Marine, here’s the link to my Ko-fi!

Lyrics:

Before the storm, I walked as man,
A mind with purpose, a steady hand.
I studied life, I studied death,
In my control, their every breath.

Gentek’s walls, they knew my name,
But doubts grew and brought me shame.
In the chaos, I took my stand,
And now the world falls to my hand.

What am I now, beneath this skin?
Power unleashed, the virus within.
Blackwatch and Gentek know what i bring,
In blood and rage, vengeance begin.

I am the weapon, born of wrath,
Tear them apart, burn down their path.
No chains can hold me, no man survive,
I am the reckoning, I end their life!

I hunt their lies, I tear their flesh,
I seek the truth in every death.
A shattered past, a fractured soul,
Reborn in Blacklight, but in control.

I feel the rage, it calls my name,
Unleashing fire, they play my game.
Sense the power, i'm in the room,
Don't fear you'll be part of me soon.

I am the weapon, born of wrath,
Tear them apart, burn down their path.
No chains can hold me, no man survive,
I am the reckoning, I end their life!

Once a man, but nevermore,
I became the nightmare they chose to ignore.
Now vengeance fuels me, hate’s my guide,
The virus speaks, and I won't hide.

Claws that tear, a brutal swipe,
Tendrils crush, it feels so right.
Shift my form, unseen I pass,
A darkness born from shattered glass.

I leap the skyline, none can flee,
Moving like a plague, I hunt them free.
Absorb their minds, their memories mine,
Every secret, every lie!

Blades like steel, I cut them down!
Consume their flesh, devouring crowds.
With every kill, I grow, I learn,
Their blood feeds my power, as worlds burn!

I am the weapon, born of wrath,
Tear them apart, burn down their path.
No chains can hold me, no man survive,
I am the reckoning, I end their life!

I seek revenge, I crave their end,
This broken world, I shall transcend.
No more a man, no longer weak,
In death and ruin, I’ll find what I seek.
