This Stone 03:21
This Stone It's far more precious then anything I know I don't believe it's safe Pure alchemy That’s what this is Or can't you see? This stone Has the power to keep you alive I can't let you have it You'll have to find another way For you I'm a problem that's staying Well I got him But I still remember Just what he said That he's coming back for it We know that Hide it in the mirror You're gonna have to find another way Pure alchemy That’s what this is Or can't you see? Well I got him But I still remember Just what he said That he's coming back for it...

Come find the hidden chamber There's serpents in the chamber That chamber is full of secrets The hidden chamber You'll find the hidden chamber The chamber of certain death Go find that hidden chamber You’ll die in the hidden chamber And your body will never be found It's dark in the hidden chamber It’s dank in that hidden chamber It’s cold as your face hits the ground (Tom Marvolo Riddle) Read the pages in my diary It’s deeper than your eyes see The pages are riddled with memories Read the pages in my diary Won’t be long before you find me I’ll soon have you firm in my grasp You read the pages in my diary Now you think you really know me Guess again All your friends have been petrified Now you’re really terrified Your life is coming to an end (Tom Marvolo Riddle) I am Lord Voldemort! (Tom Marvolo Riddle) I am Lord Voldemort!

Keep down they're on their way To take Sirius Black away Oh no Not today Not if we get our way (Turn back the hands of time) Get down Get out of sight The Dementors descend tonight Three turns should be just right You could safe more then one life (And we'll turn back the hands of time) You could save More then one life From the evil descent tonight Three turns should be just right Keep down! Keep out of sight! (We'll turn back the hands of time) Get Down! (Turn back the hands of time) Get Down!

Bone of the father, Unknowingly given. You will renew your son. Flesh of the servant, Willingly given. You will revive your master. Blood of the enemy, Forcefully taken. You will resurrect your foe. Behold, The Dark Lord Rises.

Dumbledore 03:28
Dumbledore, you fell From the tower You hit the Floor They all saw Not from where I was I watched it happen Now i'm reeling with the guilt Only I know who You know it's all for you know who How could I let this happen to you? And now I just don't feel anything. You You used two words He was unarmed How we gonna cope? Only I know who It's all for you know who How could I just let this happen to you? I don't know what to feel anymore I don't think I can I don't think I can. Dumbledore, I know this must be part of your master plan But why does it have to hurt? Dumbledore, You fell From the tower Hit the Floor

Dark Marks 03:22
Dark marks in the sky Can you feel it in the way? It's been there since the day I saw a fire in your eye And it's getting so much hotter Can't you see me? Feel me? There’s something in the way of the sun. There's a mark on your mind I can feel it in the way There is ice on the river We're gonna fall through What they got against the way we are? There’s no sense in hoping that one day we'll all be free. Dark marks in the sky mean that he is here God take me back. Back to when We were free Let's go away, Far away from here I saw a mark on your arm There's something wrong with you I just don't know Quite what to do There's a mark in the sky What do we do now?

Oh Fred! 04:36
You entered this world on April first And since that fateful day we’ve had an insatiable thirst For your humour and your wit, you and George are full of it Even up to your last breath you are a laugh a minute Born one half of a pair, causing trouble and despair To anyone who sets eyes upon your ginger hair Set the fireworks on Umbridge, beat the Slytherins at quidditch Defended Harry from the bludgers so he could catch the snitch Fred, there’s a fight ahead Why do you have to go? It only goes to show That now, we cannot win As there’s only one, one Weasley twin Oh Fred You entered the war, unlike anything we’ve seen before You look round every corner, dead traipsed across the floor You can’t lie, you’re scared. Feeling under prepared But fighting with the Order, the burden is shared Fred, there’s a fight ahead Why do you have to go? It only goes to show That now, we cannot win As there’s only one, one Weasley twin Oh Fred You’re knocking on death’s door, can’t face it anymore But you must battle on against Voldemort Oh Fred! The ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face Fred, there’s a fight ahead Why do you have to go? It only goes to show That now, we have to win As there’s only one, one Weasley twin Oh Fred, why did you die? So many people are going to cry So George, is an only twin He has Ron and Ginny, but they do not complete him Fred.

19 Years 04:18
We're older now The time has come To show the world Just what we've become And what we've done The time is gone What's done is past These 19 years have sped by so fast I wish it would last For now we're standing on the platform Of nine and three quarters Holding hands With our sons and daughters While we remember Who we used to be We're all grown up The time is now When things got hard We often wondered How we'd carry on But we stayed strong We lost some friends Along the way We won’t forget We remember them Each and every day Because the feeling never goes away And now we're standing on the platform Of nine and three quarters Holding hands With our sons and daughters While we remember Who you used to be Nineteen years to the day That everything changed Clouds fade away Skies are longer grey And the sun is here to stay But that’s not always how it was And we're only here because Mr Potter saved the day And sent Lord Voldemort away For now we're standing on the platform Of nine and three quarters Holding hands With our sons and daughters But we'll remember this day For forever and a day Because it's nineteen years to the day That Lord Voldemort was slain
