No Hero's Journey

Sometimes your name’s up there on the marquee
And it seems like you’re doing everything on your own
But take a look around and you realize you’re not alone
There ain’t no trio with just one wizard
And Hogwarts falls without Dumbledore’s Army
So many witches and wizards risking it all keep the resistance alive
And it won’t stop when Voldemort dies, we’ll build a better world on the other side
We’ll only get through this together
When you see the headlines think about what they missed
Yeah I’m the boy who lived but so many helped with it
I only destroyed one horcrux so there’s four more out there without
Dumbledore, Hermione, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom
The other boy who lived, it don’t work without him
Or Remus and Tonks, the Creeveys and Weasleys,
Lavender Brown and Mad Eye Moody
Put their lives on the line when it came time
Trying to make a world where we can lead happier lives
If you follow the plot of the story you’d know that
there’s no such thing as the hero’s journey
No wizard’s an island,
there’s not use pretending we existing in a vacuum
Like the works of Fabian Prewitt’s watch
You remove one part, time just stops
There ain’t no trio with just one wizard
And Hogwarts falls without Dumbledore’s Army
So many witches and wizards risking it all keep the resistance alive
And it won’t stop when Voldemort dies, we’ll build a better world on the other side
I can’t do it myself, I’m gonna need help
All for one and one for all
We’ll only get through this together

Oh I knew what I was doing when I sent that confringo charm your way
Oh I knew that for you to fly I must set you free, release you from your cage
But oh, I still believe
And oh, I still can see
That you will always be flying next to me
With a letter in your beak
Baby you’re alive
When I close my eyes
I can see you smile
And I can feel your power
All the kids are saying that you can’t be dead
Got a letter, I’ll send a school owl instead
I should have alohomora-ed your cage
Instead you’re lying in a fiery motorcycle grave
All the good times we had together
All the cool mail you delivered
Baby you’re alive
When I close my eyes
I can see you smile (and I know that’s hard through a beak)
Baby you’re alive
And you’re flying high
All in mind (but that don’t mean it’s not real girl)
Baby you’re alive

Old Magic School
03:56
|
|||
Every night we’re sleeping in a different place
On a cliffside or under the trees
Getting covered in snow in the middle of a lake
Or on a mountainside pounded by sleet
Well the spreads aren’t great but it depends on your tastes
We’re scavenging for most of our food
Mushrooms and fish isn’t such a bad dish
But Ron really hates toadstools
So I wish I were back at the old magic school
I hear Hogwarts calling my name
Join the insurrection, kick the death eaters out
We’re gonna save the school again
Ain’t got no plan and these clues are obtuse
Like a children’s book covered in runes
And everyone here is anxious and impatient
Yeah we’re gonna have to choose a course soon
Cause we’re six months in with just one horcrux found
And three or four more to take down
Voldemort’s power grows stronger each day
Yeah we got a lot of work before May
Cause it always goes down in May
Well I wish I were back at the old magic school
I hear Hogwarts calling my name
Join the insurrection, kick the death eaters out
We’re gonna save the school again
Well we’re popping around to these small market towns
Looking for some food to scarf down
With the locket equipped it seems to inhibit
The casting of my patronus
Pass the horcrux in circles, share the burden around
Keep the darkness from weighing you down
But the party is fraying, coming apart at the seams
With everyone acting so mean
Well I wish I were back at the old magic school
I hear Hogwarts calling my name
Join the insurrection, kick the death eaters out
We’re gonna save the school again
Well I wish I were back at the old magic school
Where I never had to think about food
Smootching my girl by the side of the lake
Doesn’t that sound great?
Well I wish I were back at the old magic school
I hear Hogwarts calling my name
Join the insurrection, kick the death eaters out
We’re gonna save the school again
Yeah we’re gonna save the school again

When you’re real big friend is falling real real fast
What spell you cast?
What spell you blast?
Accio Hagrid
When you’re a clever witch looking for restricted
What spell you cast?
What spell you blast?
Accio Books
When you’re a hungry wizard camping in the woods
What spell you cast?
What spell you blast?
Accio Fish
Wish I thought it sooner
Accio Fish
Wish I caught a tuna
Accio Fish
Salmon’s ok too, do you know how to make sushi?

Godric's Hollow

Maybe you can go home
Maybe you got a cottage with a roof
Maybe you can go home
Maybe you got some parents waiting for you
Waiting for you
Well there ain’t no going home for the boy lived
Yeah there ain’t no going home when you’re the boy who lived
There’s no music playing
There’s no loved ones waiting
Yeah there ain’t no going home for the boy lived
1960 to ’81, do the math now they’re just 21
Four years older than the son standing here now
Yeah there ain’t no going home for the boy lived
Yeah there ain’t no going home when you’re the boy who lived
There’s no music playing
There’s no loved ones waiting
Yeah there ain’t no going home for the boy lived

Bathilda
01:44
|

When they say she’s an old bag of bones (they’re two thirds right)
When they say she’s long in the tooth (it’s because of the fangs)
When they say she’s a ripe old age (it’s because of the smell)
When they say she’s no spring chicken (because the snake ate ’em)
A decorated historian
A hero to Hermione
Someone that we’d really like to talk to
Now but she’s just a human sack for a snake
She’s a sack for a snake
(she’s a snack for a snake)

Sword of Gryffindor
01:58
|
|||
Hanging out in the forest
Thinking about the Sword of Gryffindor
Helping with these horcruxes
We need to destroy
Then along comes Ted Tonks, Dean Thomas, Dirk Cresswell hanging with some
Goblins talking ‘bout that same sword now
Right place, right time
Right place, right time
Some months later we’re still
in the forest still
thinking about that sword
So I said to Hermione, I was like, you know I can’t think of any other way we can destroy all these horcruxes so maybe we should find the Sword of Gryffindor
Then along comes a silver doe who leads me to a frozen pool and
At the bottom there’s the sword, how convenient
Right place, right time
Right place, right time
You know my parents died when I was just a little baby and it sort of seemed like I was unlucky there for a spell, but maybe my luck’s starting to turn around, maybe we will be able to defeat Voldemort.

The Fallen
03:11
|

When I think about all the things people have done for me
That’s when I think about the sacrifices of Alastor Moody
Who spent a year in a trunk, imprisoned by the imperious curse
And he died on a broom, just trying to protect me
This trophy’s coming down
We’ll bury it in the ground
And it can’t repay the debt we owe
But it helps to feel less alone
When I think about all the people looking out for me
That’s when I think about my friend Dobby
Risking punishment to keep me safe from a basilisk
And he didn’t hesitate to rescue us all from Bellatrix
Now the tears are coming down
As we’re digging up the ground
And it’s not simply unfair that you died
No it’s not simply unfair that you died
Cause you didn’t die
You didn’t die, you didn’t die
They took your life
No you didn’t die, you didn’t die
They took your life

Hallows or Horcruxes
02:57
|
|||
Time to decide
Is it gonna be Hallows or Horcruxes?
Ain’t no magic weapon with the answer
Ain’t no crystal ball showing a course of action
Is it gonna be Hallows or Horcruxes?
Do you believe the legend of the Elder Wand
If it’s undefeatable, why are all its owners dead?
Is it gonna be Hallows or Horcruxes?

Alive
02:08

I knew these arms as a child
You held me on my first motorcycle ride
You left me on the threshold
In the middle of the night
You came back and led me
To the world that changed my life
I’m nestled in your arms again my friend
One more beginning from an end
Would you think it a lie
If I don’t let you know I survived?
Yes I died
I died
Yes I died (he died)
Yes I died (we died)
I should be dead
But instead
I am alive
Alive!
I am alive!
Alive!
I am alive!
Alive!
Through a complicated confluence of
Wand lore, horcruxes, blood, and love
I survived
