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
And Voldemort is ready this time!

Once I was omnipitent
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
While the other survived
So I knew I'd have to prevail
And Harry must die.

Sixteen Halloweens 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
But 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

Alone
No form, no body
He destroyed me

Thirteen more years, thirteen more years
I stumbled in the darkness
Thrteen more years, thirteen more years
Until 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 can live
While the other survives
So I'll finally prevail
And Harry will finally die!
