Of Man and Monster - Face Time Police

Okay, so here's the story of how THIS video came about:

I was browsing the Funimation forums (a weekly ritual of mine) to see if there's any new info on the Hellsing OVA 5 dubs (before you ask: no). So I searched "Hellsing", found a few old posts, my intro post and so forth, but another post... which was titled "Hellsing-inspired song". Naturally, I was intrigued, so I clicked to the thread.

I read the post which basically read "I watched the scene in Hellsing where Alucard turned Seras into a vampire, and got a song idea. Me and my co-band person sat down and watched the scene a few million times, went through ideas for the song, then wrote the song." which was a nice read. Then? Well, the song is a free download! So I was like, "Holy balls! I need to listen to this!"

So I downloaded it and listened, not expecting much: but I was blown away. This song is not just good, it's GREAT, and the fact that it's based on my all-time favorite anime only sweetened the deal... after listening to the song three times or so, I couldn't stand it anymore. So here's the rough draft of the video: and I say rough draft because I intend the final version to be my official entry to Sakura Con 2010's AMV contest. I'm going to make another version soon to the original series, because the song was made based on the original series' scene; but for now, enjoy my OVA interpretation of Face Time Police's "Of Man and Monster".

I had to fight very hard to keep myself from sharing this with the world. After my CNC video was copied, I instantly became suspicious of everyone.

But note that I felt flattered when it was copied - this idea I'm being far more protective of because I intend to win a contest with it.

I don't want this idea stolen, but at the same time, I feel like I NEED to show everyone this. So it will stay public... I couldn't keep it private after reading this:

"If you like the song, please spread it to other Hellsing fans. A lot of work and money went into the writing and production of it all, plus, we had it professionally mastered, and despite all that we're giving it away for free. We just want people to enjoy it. I hope you like it."

Go to their website, download the MP3, and spread the word. To say this song is immaculate is an understatement:

Lyrics:

temptation's running high with the moonlit sky
the army you arrived with now is the enemy
time to say goodbye my friend my love
your perfection is what motivates my lust (my friend, my love)
your innocence has driven you to trust in the monster you don't know i can be
look at the red in my eyes, maybe you will see eternity instilled in me
what it's like to live until infinity
soon you will know

lift you from this wretched moment to another day
holding onto what was once your will to walk away (will to walk away)
tomorrow we will curse the sunlight of a different day
bold enough to be the monster
was i not your favorite mistake?

i am the master, the beast, the fight
these bullets may kill but you bring me to life
this is now where you're supposed to close your eyes
the silhouette among the silver locked in sight
from your virgin caress to my venomous bite

i'll lift you from this wretched moment to another day
holding onto what was once your will to walk away (will to walk away)
tomorrow we will curse the sunlight of a different day
bold enough to be the monster
was i not your favorite mistake?

come on, come on, show me what you are
under the blood red stars
what are you waiting for?
just remember the choice was always...

yours not mine to make
what i'll take from you, i know i can't repay
and tomorrow won't feel the same as today
but at least you'll be alive when your heart has lost its way
i know you don't want to die tonight

lift you from this wretched moment to another day
holding onto what was once your will to walk away (will to walk away)
tomorrow we will curse the sunlight of a different day
bold enough to be the monster
was i not your favorite mistake?

there's no sanctuary from the demons in control
i am your salvation i will break you from this hold

come on, come on, show me what you are
under the blood red stars
what are you waiting for?
just remember the choice was always yours...

Heard of this band off of Jango, and they're AWESOME! Never heard of Helsing (sorry!) but if it inspired THIS, it can't be that bad, right?

[SoraTheHappyEmo]

Lol! I guess :P

I mean Hellsing's awesome so... yeah.

[0SammichMan0]

A Hellsing-inspired song...? That... That is too epic... D: And then a Hellsing-inspired song involving Alucard and Seras...?

A part of my life is complete.

Awesometastic work on this, even if it is a bit of a rough draft like you said. I don't care, it's so epic. D:

This video deserves more view, ratings and favorites, I don't know why your stuff isn't higher on the list. Good work man, good work.
