Author's Note: I honestly thought this up while folding my clothes and brushing my teeth before bed. I lie down, turn out the light, then automatically turned it on again and reached for my laptop because I was afraid the lyrics would leave me before I woke up in the morning.
I swear if you get a bunch of people together and sing this and send it to me I'll love you forever and like you for always. I'd literally die of happiness.
I don't own Hellsing; I don't own Les Miserables, blahblahblah. Look, I'm just a poor, underprivileged white college student. I don't even own my own life at this point.
(Black stage. Lilting music begins to play. Seras Victoria appears in Hellsing garb, hands folded as she vocalizes. Pan out to reveal Alucard on Rip van Winkle's ship, heading for shore. Pip guards the mansion.)
Alucard-One day more, another day another destiny-this never ending, lifelong journey; these fools who want to see me shine will come to regret it in time. One day more-
Pip-I never thought zat I would care; I only lived for myself.
Alucard-One day more:
Pip (plus Wild Geese in the mansion)-"Tomorrow" seemed so far away; now can't come any faster.
Seras- One more day all on my own-
Pip- Will I ever see ze sun?
Seras-One more day without him with me;
Wild Geese- We aren't sure what we will do-
Seras- And the life I left behind,
Wild Geese- if we even are attacked.
Seras- Will I ever cease to care?
(Cut to Nazi battle-blimp)
Major- One more day before da krieg
Pip- Do I protect ze girl,
Major-Ve are now at Hell's gate
Pip-Even though my orders are clear?
Major: Vhen dey go to cut us down:
Pip- Do I stay, do I dare?
Major: Vill you rise and overcome?
(Both Nazi and Hellsing soldiers)-The time is now! The day is near!
Alucard-One day more!
(Cut to Integra and her troops)
Integra-One day more until they all come; let us get this over quick. We will leave only bodies; we shall make this lesson stick.
(Cut to Iscariot, killing various people)
Heinkel- Vatch dem run amok,
Yumie-Leave them where they fall;
Both-Protestants and heathens, we will kill them all!
Heinkel-here a little shot-
Yumie-there a little slice-
Both- All of them are sinners so we won't think twice!
(Both Nazi and Hellsing soldiers)
-One day to a new beginning; raise our countries' flag on high! Every man will gain something; every man must come and try! There's a new world just beginning; there's a new world to be won! Do you hear the gunfire ring?
(Cut to Pip and Seras)
Pip- my place is clear: I'll fight right here!
Alucard- One day more!
(Various, overlapping in loops)
Integra-We will attack without mercy-let them beg until they die, if they dare to threaten our crown then they bid this world goodbye!
Seras-One more day all on my own-
Heinkel and Yumie-Watch them run amok, leave them as they fall-Protestants and heathens, we will kill them all!
Alucard-One day more-
Major- Vhen dey go to cut us down, vill you rise and overcome?
Integra-We'll be ready for these Nazis
Alucard-Tomorrow isn't far away, tomorrow is their judgment day
(Entire stage is full as everyone sings as one)
Everyone- Tomorrow we'll discover who is strongest-who has more
One more dawn, one more day:
One day more!
(Fade to black)
Afterword- Of course, you can easily find the real lyrics and tune to the song at YouTube. Just search "Les Miserables: One Day More".
I prefer the 2012-13 movie version myself, only because I'm passionately in love with Russell Crowe…'s acting. I mean, I loved him in Man of Steel too but he's always going to be my Javert. (Sighs dreamily)
T_T yes, I know his age. God, I said I love him, not that I want to (bleep) him.
