lyrics

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

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
