Am I the villain?
Am I a murderer?
Caught up in the fights
of two powerful sorcerers?
Take out your wand,
look over the pond
and see…
I’m just enamored, please won’t you hear my plea
Because I’m so in love, so in pain
Tears fall down, sour rain
Sorrow runs through my veins, please, sir, won’t you listen to me, to me.
Albus, it’s all my fault.
Oh, I tried to have her spared,
The Dark Lord, he never cared.
Albus, I had chosen wrong,
And now my love, my life, has gone away.
Albus, ooo
I'll serve you as a spy,
I’d rather kill myself than live with such shame,
She is gone, she is gone, and I don’t really matter.
Always, my heart was hers.
Yes, hers, all of the time,
But then she was never mine.
I’ll be ever loyal – for Lily’s sake,
I have got to turn my back on Voldemort.
Albus, ooo (sorrow runs through my veins)
I’m sorry I lied,
And now I wish I’d never joined him at all.

I see a little version of my hated foe,
Fifteen points, fifteen points, you are rude like your father
Brew glory and honor, Harry Potter hear you me!
Sectumsempra, sectumsempra,
Sectumsempra, sectumsempra,
Sectumsempra, crucio – imperio!
I’m the Half-blood Prince, dare you attack me?
He’s just a poor boy, Killing Curse escapee
Prey of the Dark Lord’s cruel atrocities.
Tears fall down, sour rain; I must live with shame.
Voldemort! No, young Potter must remain,
(Live with shame!) Voldemort! Young Potter must remain,
(Live with shame!) Voldemort! Young Potter must remain
(Live with shame) Potter must remain
(Live with shame) Potter must remain (Live with shame) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh Dumbledore, oh Dumbledore) Oh Dumbledore, end my pain
Lord Voldemort has a burden put aside for me, for me, for me…
So you think you can raise the boy up like a swine?
Simply let him grow up and then let the boy die?
Oh, Albus, can’t do this to me, Albus!
Got to say the words, just got to - Avada Kedavra

I don’t really matter, not without Lily.
I don’t really matter, Harry, please won’t you look… at me.
(Sorrow runs through my veins.)
