Not My Son Lyrics by Quickspell

2009

[Verse 1]
It's getting cold, your breath is freezing in the air
And suddenly, there's darkness all around you now
There's a Dementor drawing near
You can feel his presence
One moment later you are knocked out by a memory
[Chorus]
Not my son, leave my child
Take me instead
Not my son, leave my child
Not Harry
[Verse 2]
Your mother's words and the sacrifice she made for you
Protect your life, more than any spell could do
The greatest magic lies in love
And it's running through your veins
Confusing your enemy 'cause it's something he will never understand
[Chorus]
Not my son, leave my child
Take me instead
Not my son, leave my child
Not Harry
Not my son, leave my child
Take me instead
Not my son
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid, the ones we love are always near
To help us through the times that hold dispair and fear
The day will come for you to see your family once again
They'll give you the strength to do
What must be done to put this to an end
[Chorus]
Not my son, leave my child
Take me instead
Not my son, leave my child
Not Harry
Not my son, leave my child
Take me instead
Not my son, leave my child
Not Harry
