Hold The Light - Anthey Oom's Realm
preparation

Sung by Seki Toshihiko, from Saiyuki Reload Vocal Album 2
 
The line marked with ***, or "Tama o kome", the kanji used for tama was actually the kanji for bullet.  So though he sings it "Load my soul"  the original intent was "Load a bullet" - the furigana above bullet reads "Tama" so this was an intentional double image

Fushoku shite ku sekai no naka de
Hanpa na seigi tachi ga ukarete ru
Muryoku na kami ni sugaru no nara
Oroka na kono ryoute o shinjitai

Ah kokoro no fukaku
Ah chi o nagasu shinjitsu ga

Tama o kome *** Neraina yo
Okubyou na mayoi na
Uchimuite kowase ba ii
Sabitsuku sono mae ni

Kudaranai kireigoto kasane
Uso ga todoki ten made kakamuita
Dareka no tame ni nante ore wa
Jibun o enjiteiru wake ja nai

Ah, ikiteru itami
Ah suki sasaru genjitsu ga

Tama o kome*** junbi shina
Hitomi o sorasazu

Kudakechiru "Owari" nara
Mitsukaru mon mo aru

Tama o kome *** Neraina yo
Okubyou na mayoi na
Uchimuite kowase ba ii
Sabitsuku sono mae ni

Kudakechiru "Owari" nara
Mitsukaru mon mo aru

In a world that continues to turn into corrosion
The remenants of justice are celebrating
If I rely on powerless Gods,
I'll want to believe in these two foolish hands.
 
Ah, the depth of my heart
Ah, the truth that sheds my blood
 
Load my soul*** Don't aim.
I'm allowed to break down
And shoot out my cowardly hesitation
The gun will rust before that.
 
A pile of trivial simplicities
I prefer the lies that reach the heavens
"For someone's sake" and things like that,
That's not why I act the way I do.
 
Ah, the living pain
Ah, the reality that's stuck in emptiness
 
Load my soul***, Don't prepare
Without looking away
 
If it's this smashed up "ending",
There's still something to be discovered
 
Load my soul*** Don't aim.
I'm allowed to break down
And shoot out my cowardly hesitation
The gun will rust before that.
 
If it's this smashed up "ending",
There's still something to be discovered

[Toshihiko Seki]
This gives the image of Sanzo being alone at the inn, the rain outside pouring, sitting at the table with his gun in his hand.  While Sanzo looks at that gun, he's lost in thought, that sort of scene is what this song brought to my mind.
