I’m currently reading a fantastic My Hero Academia fic by the name of Dragon Fruit (By @forthewoolfy ForTheWoolfy and @standard-fiendart). It’s a fantasy au where Aizawa is a dragon hunter and Hizashi is a bard cursed to turn into a dragon. There’s several written-out lyrics for Hizashi’s songs that have such PERFECT syllabic structure that even just reading it feels musical. The latest chapter I felt deeply compelled to do a quick recording of an adaptation. Lyrics (from the fic) beneath the cut
When my lover was a dancer, her skin was sweet as dew,
Her feet would waltz to daisy hop, her eyes were ashen blue.
When first we met I was entranced, her charm so fair of face,
When next we met I was in love, my heart a stallion’s pace.
The tendril grasses of our home, swept cleanly through the air,
As did her skirts and legs and lace, when other men would stare.
When my lover was a dancer, she kept the brothels whole,
While all the men who came for her, would taste my darling doll.
She gave to me her loving voice, and filled my life with song,
Swore to love me with her smile, yet she had done me wrong.
When my lover was a dancer, her skin was sweet as dew,
Now she sleeps beneath the dirt, her eyes a hollowed hue.
