yourwizardrockresource I love the theme of this EP, and it's cleverly executed throughout a small collection of songs that range in style, tempo and subject. Every single one is worth listening to, but my favourite is truly one of a kind in wizard rock. Its beauty is indescribable. LISTEN TO IT. Favorite track: The Next Great Adventure.

Wednesday morning Mixing formula for two What an awful lot of news for one letter Little sister Just a bit more gone than yesterday Funny how the final nail makes all the difference Can you feel love for another? Will he be a son and a brother, one of your own? Sometimes the past is just too heavy to put down He'll have to stay around Harry Potter Such a nasty, common name You swear he won't be the same He won't be a... His eyes remind you Of something you will never be She was special, you see She was...different

Every wizard and witch turn on your radio Have you heard the breaking news ‘Bout the mysterious fate of Mr. You-Know-Who? Send an owl to your friends, put on your finest robes Jump in the fireplace and come around Time to make up for the years we were underground One for Harry, one for Lily and James And all the other empty chairs One to celebrate, one to remember their names Hold your wands up in the air They gave their lives to protect their kid When there was nothing else to give Everybody raise a glass Everybody raise a butterbeer to the boy who lived Eleven years of fussing and fighting Eleven years of cruel war To see the end of eleven long years in hiding Is what we live for Now everybody's got a million questions Everybody's got to know the how and why Just take a breath everybody Don't let your, your curiosity kill the vibe Rapturous and riotous in every street Letting off our fireworks Statute of Secrecy be damned tonight We're gonna watch the darkness come alive with light Don't you let it tear your soul apart All the love inside your mother's heart Was your defence against the darkest art

Evil is banal, they say But good can be too He Who Mustn't Be Named may have had his day But there's still work to do Fascist turds that just won't flush Denials and excuses They may use a lighter touch But it's the same old abuses To stand your ground when it's keeping you down Is easier said than done Do you ever want to sign on the Ministry line Take the money and run? Time and again ambitious men Let conscience go to sleep It's never the goal to sell your soul But soon you're in too deep Oh Arthur Weasley No-one said it was easy With oh so many mouths to feed To be the hero that muggles need Chin up, Arthur Weasley I don't mean to be bold But galleons and sickles can't buy a heart of gold It couldn't happen today, or so they say The horrors of the past But all the pain will come back again If ever we drop our guard Some will pretend to be a friend To muggles and to house-elves If they're weak when it's time to speak We'll just have to do it ourselves When you feel like you can't swim against the tide You'll find a reason every time you close your eyes All the friends who lived, and all the friends who died Wear your bovver boots and get stuck in Win or lose, at least you did something

Ever noticed things get pretty strange When you're angry or you're scared? Ever wondered how you flew away Or why no-one can cut your hair? They told you that your mother was no good They told you that your dad was a drunk You don't know what they did to protect you You can't explain the things that you've done Say hello to your birthright It's time you know who you are What happened on that October night And how you got your scar This is the story of your once and future life One where everybody knows your name You won't have to keep the magic shut inside Things will never be the same You're a wizard Can't quite believe these freaky happenings (look, out, look out) The flying bikes and talking snakes I know they told you not to dream of better things Close your eyes and listen to the part of you that aches for something more Say hello to your birthright There's power you know not in your blood You've been looking at the world under gaslight Things are different out in the sun

So that was it The final sip Through all the centuries we've lived I've never seen you quiet as this Let's take a walk to clear our heads And talk about the time that we have left How to live ourselves to death Let's sit up late as our mourners come and go A million words of friends we've known A thousand echoes, happy ghosts of nights like these drift through our home I'm so afraid to see you fade I have been such a lucky man Six hundred years of holding your hand A very long time of which to say I've loved you more each day And every great adventure on the way Let's take our favourite books and read them in the sun Autumn has come and our days are ours alone How the time has flown We must have had fun My heart always full though I'm running on empty Never enough of you though there's been plenty I pray your face is the last thing that I ever see Will it be you or will it be me? The next great adventure - What will it...

On island tides the mind has dreamed and drifted Nightly trial of the spirit But tonight the zeitgeist has shifted The spell is lifted Boiling away the fog I see the rolling red eyes of God And he rolls away the stone And says to me, come home Rolling back the fog of dementia My god I remember I am the strange avenger There's a storm coming Washing the filth from ancient veins And you'd best be ready There’s a storm coming There’s a storm
