In the song "The Sons of Fate," Megaman and Protoman engage in a confrontation where Protoman tries to convince Megaman that mankind is doomed and there are no heroes left. Despite Protoman's death, Megaman is hailed as a hero by the human choir, but he walks away from the fortress, realizing the truth of Protoman's words.

Meaning of "The Sons of Fate" by The Protomen

The lyrics of "The Sons of Fate" delve into themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of the world. Protoman serves as a symbol of the disillusionment that comes with realizing the futility of fighting for a world that is ultimately doomed. His poignant words to Megaman before his death highlight the idea that true heroism lies not in being idolized by others, but in recognizing one's own freedom and humanity. Megaman's final act of defiance by walking away from the fortress signifies his rejection of the false heroism that society demands, choosing instead to see the truth of the world around him. The human choir's chants of "We are the dead" underscore the notion that without true understanding and action, mankind is destined to fall.
