The reason I feel like there\'s two voices is because the two verses say different, directly opposed things and the second verse is written as a direct response.

The reason I feel like there\\\'s two voices is because the two verses say different, directly opposed things and the second verse is written as a direct response. That and there\\\'s literally two people singing the song, you can hear them both during the chorus (I can\\\'t quite tell if a different person is singing each verse, however).

In the first, the speaker is accusing the target of being a weapon of war instead of peace (i.e., Mega Man\\\'s issues) and bragging about how the speaker is \\\"unlike the others you\\\'ve seen.\\\" What others could he be talking about? Other humans? Mega Man doesn\\\'t see a lot of humans (Dr. Light\\\'s song says as much), but he sees plenty of robots. And, again, there\\\'s the \\\"two prodigal sons,\\\" which can only really be read as referring to the \\\"we.\\\" The only two characters who remotely fit the description are Mega and Proto.
Second, the second verse starts with, \\\"And what of you...\\\" which is a pretty direct answer to the first speaker, so whoever\\\'s singing the second verse is the target of the first. And the second verse hits all of Proto Man\\\'s issues, the same way the first hits Mega\\\'s. And if anything, Wily would \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' want Proto to think he really has choices, because then he\\\'s a wildcard. And the thing about \\\"If he died, tell me would you feel?\\\" Why would Wily say anything like that to Proto Man? Wily has no vested interest in making Proto realize he\\\'s more human than he thinks, and in fact it\\\'s counterproductive.
And Wily certainly wouldn\\\'t be calling Mega Man \\\"friend.\\\"
Wily was the villain, but the most important conflict of the album is between Mega Man and Proto Man. They\\\'re the ones facing off on the cover art, Proto Man\\\'s got two whole songs about Mega Man, he shows up in the intro to the album and Mega Man\\\'s own final song barely addresses Wily, instead focusing on Light, Proto, and himself.
And Gamma Unchained is not Wily playing the \\\"I\\\'ve changed my ways!\\\" card. Yes, it starts with him asking forgiveness, but then continues that he knows he\\\'s insane and plans to continue what he\\\'s doing anyway.
You have to look at the song as a whole -- individual lines, or parts of lines, might be interpreted to support your theory here, but the greater context of it doesn\\\'t bear out.
