Ripped from my body Less than the meanest ghost Green light rebounding, impossible mortal demise Something has broken I am a disembodied mind Smothering veil between me and my enemy's cries Ah, pain beyond pain my friends My once-distant Boggart is clutching at my hand Seeping and slithering into waking sense As my body blows away like sand Fled from the sleeping town No longer a man, nor even a snake Uncanny beast in a sapphire crown Leaving rats lying dead in my wake All the hidden fragments of myself Can't save me from this living hell All my servants will not seek me here What good are followers without fear? I, the greatest of all Just a name fading into the dark Like all who've come before Nothing sets me apart My future is gone This is the first time I've ever felt Like forever is too long Clinging on to what I always said There's no extremity worse than death But I'm chained to a ruined life Burned and blasted 'til I haven't the strength to die One more moment, and now the next Time means nothing, an endless stretch One more second, and now the next No direction, just one second less I force myself on sleeplessly Surely the faithful will come for me? Day bleeds into night, and night dissolves in day And in the shadows my hope is fading away To an Albanian forest Where I'll look for a place to hide what's left of me Albanian Forest Where I'll drift on the wind and contemplate revenge Albanian Forest Where I'll curse my faithless slaves' apostasy Albanian forest Where I'll wait for the tide of fate to rise again

Useless 05:01
You think I'm too stupid to know Or too frightened to tell Non-entity that fetches and carries An unthinking animal Servant by birth Not like the boot-licking creeps that the Dark Lord keeps I didn't choose my masters Self-punishment is nothing to me I'll spill your dirty little secrets to the Chosen One Pure blood keeps you safe In a perpetual childhood which you took from others Using fame you did nothing to earn While all below you suffer Dropping names like a pile of gold Into the hands of powerful weaklings Weaponised fragment of soul To bring back the days when your life stood for something Are things not the same? And is he to blame? You won't hurt him again Harry, my friend Your privilege is standing in society's way I'm gonna check it for you It's not easy standing up to you When I was raised to always follow orders To do the bidding of bad Dark wizards Is a terrible thing without getting some payback I am the mystery pain in your ass Double agent to an army of three Stopping you in your tracks There's no forgetting your crimes against us And one day you will suffer the consequences All tyrants fear those they oppress Fate came for your master and it's coming for you next Are things not the same? And is he to blame? You won't hurt him again Harry, my friend

Howl 07:41
Out of sight and out of mind Kindness isn't for my kind Transformation comes again Intoxicated by the pain Once I ran with the Marauders Once I felt like I belonged But the friends who were like brothers Are two of them dead and gone The black dog lives to stalk my dreams But he is dead to me Now I just let the world spit in my face Too ashamed to speak The lashing branches cast a shadow in the night The moonlight burns tormenting circles in my eyes And the red mist rises around me Dragging everything human about me beneath its tide The cycle never ends Wolf to man and back again And they drive me out and turn away And I howl But nothing keeps the beast at bay Servants of the Ministry Shrivelled and spayed by sanity Pathologising greater souls Wasted lives of self-control In my own land a refugee An alien in my own body One more undeserving deadbeat One more drifter for the scrapheap Distrusted by my kin Rejected by all others Always moving never still Fleeting lull then I'm discovered And they drive me out and turn away And I howl But nothing keeps the beast at bay Wolf to man and back again

King's Cross 11:22
Where is my pain and terror now? The world has gone away Blazing light is all around Somehow I know this place This platform set me free, it was my escape To a world where I belong Now one last time I've come to board that train And tonight it will carry me on Something there, beneath the bench Is struggling to draw breath Its flesh burned black and flayed red Every inch a scar All hollow cheeks and bulging, twisted joints But is it weakness or a treacherous path That leads a life to this point? The darkness inside can't be blamed on a broken home Our paths are alike but just one of us is lost Does the husk of the boy who murdered and tore his soul Still think eternal life is worth the cost? As our journeys end and our final steps are converging Under the arches of King's Cross A face I know, a voice I've longed to hear Though it led me here to die The eyes of brightest blue that mask the steel Of a cold and deadly mind The man who saved my life so many times Who wielded me like a sword Let the weight of vengeful rage carve a sickening furrow To the heart of Voldemort Come and take me far from here Into the warmth and light of Death's dominion Where I will have my mother near And my father's end no longer drives me on I can't give up now But I want this to end I've laid down my life to save my friends I was frightened of death Now I'm tired of war Going back is the hardest choice of all In my mind the task to do And in my soul the face of a red-haired girl Shut my eyes against the truth But I still hear screaming from our falling world Dumbledore is telling me of the time When he ignored in his midst Grindelwald Then a girl lay dead upon the floor Chances missed to quell a wicked mind Will have consequences I will learn from your mistake I will go back to the darkness and pain Existence drifts apart beneath the billowing steam Stone and iron unmade Fading from my sight like a forgotten dream Is it real or in my head? I will not fear coming back this way When my purpose in life is served And next time around I'll board that train Greeting Death as an equal I depart this world Come and meet your destiny Come and stare into oblivion Come and meet your end in me Come and finish what you began

about

Gyantess London, UK

Originally called One-Eyed Witch, Gyantess started in autumn 2014, combining long-time Harry Potter fan-ness with a love of grunge and stoner rock, and heavy recreational Wrackspurt use. It was meant to be an exercise in not taking music so seriously all the time. It failed. ... more
