In which I enter the shoes of physicist-turned-murderer-turned-revolutionary-turned-blues-singer Dr. Gordon Freeman and tell you his story.
lyrics
The blues are fallin'
Down on me
They call me Freeman
But I ain't free
I'm a man of science
Physics by trade
I joined Black Mesa
I thought I had it made
But then G-Man came
That's when everything changed
Aliens attacked
Interdimensional war
I went to Xen
I didn't find out more
20 years of stasis
Mankind's enslaved
When I came back
I had to hide in a cave
G-man's out to ruin my day
And he's doin' fine
I destroyed the Citadel
Stabilized it as it fell
Evacuated half the town
As everything was comin' down
Stole some data then we ran
Alyx nearly kicked the can
The Vortigaunts, they saved our lives
Time to go to overdriiiiiiiiive
Eli told me
Defend the base
That's what I did
I feel my heart race
Gotta go up north
Find the missing ship
Advisors attack
It's like a really bad trip
Now Eli's dead
Why did they do this to me?
FUCK YOU GMAN
