I open at the close, I know things you'll never know. I open at the close, Kiss me and I'll show you. You are not meant to live. You are only meant to die. Bone of the father, flesh of the servant Blood of the enemy The Dark Lord shall rise again. I open at the close. Inside I'm made of stone. I open at the close, Kiss me and I'll show you. You are not meant to live. You are meant to die. You are not meant to live, But I will be by your side. Well I never got my letter I was never there for you I never knew any better I was never there for you. But you will always have Fawkes and Gryffindor's sword They'll be waiting for you in the common room. Hold on tight to your friends, my friend. You have everything to lose.

Life is scary, but be brave. Life is fun if you know how to misbehave. So have another go at it. Have another butterbeer. You'll never be alone You are my Patronus, my dear. Get your hallows up Put your cloak on Get your hallows up Pick up your wand Death may give, but Death will take away. Death will get you back if you laugh in his face. He plucked me from a tree And he made an Elder of me. He flicked his time turner and he made a bloody Fool of me. There are children laughing, children dying. Millions of thestrals flying. Get your hallows up Put your cloak on Get your hallows up Pick up your wand

When the vampire came to your door, You answered and invited it in. The lips of your princess The ocher of sunset You would never see them again. Now that your heart has marched off to war, And the augur's counted all of your birds For all the souls you've collected, Caressed, resurrected You can not save yourself with your words. You are not of Earth, my love. You were sent from the sun. You may never know the peace of death, love But you are not the only one. I've made stars quake with my hands. I've counted every grain of sand. I've wanted and prayed for and murdered my friends. I have spread myself all over the land. Are we going to die? Never say goodbye. Will your soul go out the way birds fly? Up or down? Up or down? I know not what you are. Your hairy heart has traveled far. Send an owl to the augur, I want it no more. I know not what you are. Your hairy heart has traveled far. Send an owl to the augur And tell him to keep it locked in a mason jar.

Luna, Luna. Dry your pretty face And don't forget to tie your shoelaces tight. And don't forget! You're brighter than the moon in space. Friends like you make everything worth fighting for. I don't care if they think we're weird And I don't care if you wear radishes in your ears And I don't care if you get old and ugly And stop washing your socks And grow a beard You'll always be mine. Your white rabbits will run through my mind Until the end of time. You'll always be mine. Luna, Luna.

I think you know I'm nothing like you. I'm nothing like anyone you've ever met. Some things are too horrible to be true And some things haven't happened yet. Shut your children's eyes. Keep them shut until they're blind. So when the frogs croak "All Hollow's Eve" And when the crows Have picked the bones of your beliefs When you've hidden your most precious memory Inside of your pensieve I will be behind you. I'll always be able to find you. I fly without a broom. I am the harbinger of doom. We will be together soon. We eat our young, Here in the forest.

Sever Us 04:12
The summer breeze, The crunching of leaves As I go to meet you Sever us, You can try to sever us But we will never be apart. I will prove you have no heart. Voldemort, you have lost. I will see you at King's Cross. I will end you, and you will end me. I can't take this, I'm breaking O, won't you please end me? I'm tired of talking to snakes There's a stag astride the lake He is watching me sleep He will be there when I wake And I, I will stab your seven souls And I, I will conquer you sevenfold And you, you are bitter and lonely And cruel and pathetic and old And I, I will conquer you sevenfold. The summer breeze, The crunching of leaves As I go to meet you. Sever us, You can try to sever us But we will never be apart. I will show you what love is. I will show you it's not so hard.
