Soldiers of Innocence

by Uskius

A song I wrote based on Hanai's personality, as well as other School Rumble characters; sung with Harima and others. *shakes head* Somehow this went from a random one-shot written a few years ago, to a full-blown song cycle. Aware of awkward genres.

4. Chapter 4: Dark of the Bleeding Moon

Mikoto: Whoa, Tenma! Why don't you sing like that when we go out for karaoke?

Tenma: I dunno, it kinda just came from inside me.

Mikoto: Whatever it was, keep doing it!

Hanai: Yes; we've still got a few more songs.

Mikoto: Can I sing too?

Tennouji: What about me?

All: Tennouji?

Hanai: I guess so. Anyone who wants to join in, can. There's plenty of room in the arrangement. Ready?

All: Yeah!

Midnight strikes, the witching hour

Mala noctis!

Words once feared spoke of this

Umbrae lunae tristis vocis!

I was sure of virtue's power

Virgo temptatio!

I could not let my feelings go

Privo pudor, porta pecco!

In the dark of the bleeding moon,

I found a truth I could not deny~

This distance, the price I pay

Proferre questus sum!

My heart denies what it's become

Vae! Irae pro creditum!

In the dark of the bleeding moon,

I found a truth I could not deny~

O! Pulsum et malum postremum!

I believed my might made right

I swore it upon the bleeding moon

I gave my oath to soldier on

Way of the Fist became my life

I swore it upon the bleeding moon

I gave my oath to soldier on

O! Pulsum et malum postremum!

We, the holy ones- soldiers of innocence

Children of truth and justice

We go out on the way

To fight for freedom, fight for innocence

I hear you howling, in misery

Bark on, mad dog-

Your fangs can never reach me

I still believe that love

Could descend from on high

In the dark of the bleeding moon,

One truth will light up the sky! for

We, the holy ones- soldiers of innocence

Children of truth and justice

We go out on the way

To fight for freedom, fight for innocence
