Seventeen Years Lyrics by Lena Gabrielle

Love Will Prevail: Songs from ‘The Final Battle’

2010

Seventeen years, seventeen years
I’ve sat and I have waited for this moment
Seventeen years, seventeen years
I’ve been patient, but not anymore
For Voldemort is ready is this time!
Once I was omnipotent, once I ruled it all
And I never dreamed the day a one-year-old could cause my downfall
Once there was a prophecy that bid my beck and call
And neither could live whilе the other survived
So I knеw I’d have to prevail and Harry must die
Sixteen Hallowe’ens ago I found the Potters’ lair
James, pathetic, on the floor; I killed him without want or care
But Lily fought against my hand; she begged her son to spare
And neither could live while the other survived
So Lily I killed without shame, and Harry would die
Approached the baby’s crib, prepared to do as I rehearsed
And with a bright green flash of light performed the Killing Curse
No form, no body
He destroyed me
Thirteen more years, thirteen more years
I’ve stumbled in the darkness
Thirteen more years, thirteen more years
‘Til a servant returned to me with a new body
Two more years I hunted Harry down
And Voldemort is ready this time!
It ends, tonight it ends, tonight
I have a secret weapon
The Elder Wand is in my grasp
And Potter has no chance
And neither could live while the other survived
So I’ll finally prevail and Harry will finally die
