This final trance song is a collaboration between all 3 members of my team and included all 3 of our chosen themes as well as the Ending Theme from Mega Man 6. All of the the games that the themes were from are on the NES/Famicom. The main song was produced by ladyWildfire (Tornado Man from Mega Man 9), the flute was contributed by Sterling Ortiz (Dive Man from Mega Man 4), and the rap lyrics were written by me & performed by all three of us.
lyrics
KingTiger:
Adventure of a Lifetime, was so sweet
but your Lifetime Adventure ain't complete
all those little moments from day to day
don't ever let them slip away
it's what's in front of you right now that's real
even though it's over and you may feel
empty inside, won't you stay?
"big picture" is how you were made
each moment brings a brand new challenge
and the only question is, will you allow it
to bring you the thrill that you always wanted
or will you run away on an endless hunt for it?
you can search the galaxy for life
but please, just open your eyes
it's right in front of you, this whole time
the grass isn't greener, no matter how you try
ladyWildfire:
the only thing for certain is death and taxes
that along with a few natural disasters
like a tornado or a wave that crashes
into your dreams, and then they shatter
million pieces, million ways
in a split second your life can change
something as simple as a word said in haste
can bring about a great deal of pain
but don't let it all keep you down
take that pain and turn it around
give it all to the ones you love
and no matter what, don't give up
keep your feet firm on the ground
but don't be afraid to dream in the clouds
ignore all the lies and all that stuff
let your Lifetime Adventure take you above
Sterling:
take a dive deep in the ocean
or keep your feet always in motion
you just can't run, and you sure can't hide
from the pain that'll come inside
it may not be a big commotion
it may just be the tiniest quotient
of your life that'll break your stride
and you'll find yourself on a different ride
"Clearly not what you wanted?"
get it in your head to just accept it
you'll find yourself with new affections
and your heart's gonna turn resurrected
I think you will soon see clear
Adventure of a Lifetime; that what you're after!
So we'll take you, on a Lifetime Adventure
That's who we are, the Robot Master Royalty!

A classic tech album that has been a heavy inspiration for me over the years. I didn't think it could sound much better but somehow this remastered version accomplishes that. KingTiger
Tom Mauritzon deserves all the attention he gets. His music is like a candlelit gourmet meal without the price tag & the requisite stuffy outfits, & this epic, cyberpunk concept album is no exception. KingTiger
As recovery girl, Galen Tipton has created pop music for dancing back from the cliff’s edge, taking despair and anger and fear and turning it into a healing potion, an extra life when one is most needed. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 1, 2020
