A/N: Well, I was reading a song written by a girl who wondered why, in THTC, Nuriko never sang. She had written a song.. and I was stricken with inspiration! So here goes! My NTHC song (lol!).
Past Darkness
Song by Ryuuen, preformed by Nuriko, Tasuki, Hotohori, and Chichiri
CHICHIRI:
Always I am living
in the shadows of the past, no da.
It's not like I can escape it
like I can the uncertain future, no da.
HOTOHORI:
There is a darkness there
that lurks within our hearts.
The past plagues us
perhaps because we are weak like that.
NURIKO:
I live for someone else
I am a prisoner of the past.
But I can still trade that in, you know
for the life I almost lost!
TASUKI:
You know,
I kind of regret,
now,
That decision that I made..
NURIKO/HOTOHORI:
There's something in the past
that keeps us hanging on.
TASUKI/CHICHIRI:
You have to find it
and come to terms with it.
ALL:
The darkness of the past
is perhaps the light of the future!
NURIKO:
You have to look beyond the past
and move in to an incredibly bright tomorrow!
ALL:
In order to live
look beyond the darkness of the then
and move on to the beautiful "now"!
TASUKI:
All of this worrying is for nothing
I know
that in the end
the really good person now will win!
HOTOHORI:
This nervousness is unnecessary
even for a ruler
I do not have to be perfect
do I?
CHICHIRI:
I lived my life
feeling shame for something
that was not my fault,
didn't I?
NURIKO:
It's not like
everyone doesn't know by now...
so maybe I should let it go
and take a hold of the glorious new day!
TASUKI/HOTOHORI:
There will be a day
when all of this will leave.
NURIKO/CHICHIRI:
And then we can all
live just for the today.
ALL:
The darkness of the past
is perhaps the light of the future!
TASUKI:
I know I've done bad things before
but I'm not damned forever!
ALL:
In order to live
never allow yourself to become sad
just go on to the beautiful tomorrow!
NURIKO:
I can be
unbearably optimistic!
So I'll look forward to
a brand new today tomorrow!
CHICHIRI:
I can look towards the future
and see a reflection of the past
so I'll learn from my mistakes
and never make them again no da!
HOTOHORI:
The hermit who hides away
never finding his own "self"
is maybe a waste of life
never knowing what the future brings.
TASUKI:
I'll be cheerful
and never hold on to anything anymore!
That way
I can be a man with no strings holding me back!
NURIKO/TASUKI:
I know that I can never go back
but I refuse to take this to my grave!
HOTOHORI/CHICHIRI:
Our hearts need to be free
to embrace the new day!
ALL:
The darkness of the past
is perhaps the light of the future!
CHICHIRI:
I refuse to slow down
I will keep going till the end no da.
ALL:
In order to live
ignore the "then"
in favor of the beautiful "now"!
ALL:
The darkness of the past
is perhaps the light of the future!
HOTOHORI:
I will stop thinking of things
that have already passed me by.
ALL:
In order to live
a person must release their sadness
and let the "past" remain "past".
