about

This is a parody of "Read My Mind" by The Killers, off their album Sam's Town.

lyrics

I’ve been inside for twelve years
It’s Azkaban, I call my home
And when I saw the Daily Prophet
It chilled me to my bones

I’ve got to save Harry
I’ve got to save Harry

Now in the grounds at Hogwarts
I’m trying to kill the friend I once knew
He’s a sneaky rat
But now I know a cat
I’m going to take down Pettigrew

I’ve got to save Harry
I’ve got to save Harry

I cornered him
In the Shrieking Shack
He’s about to face the wraith
Of Sirius Black

But Harry was there
And he convinced me
To let Peter go
Then I’d be free

As your godfather, I’ll always help you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
And Harry, I also care for you

I tried to help you your fourth year
During the three tasks
I know that I wasn’t much use to you
But now I’ll always have your back

I’ll protect you, Harry
I’ll protect you, Harry

In the Order
I stayed in my house
Alone with Kreacher
Waiting for your owls

But when I heard
You were in danger
There was no way
That I could stay there

As your godfather, I’ll always protect you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
So you know, after all we’ve been through
You’re like a son to me, too

I get in a duel with Bellatrix
Our spells clash, I fight that bitch
To ensure that Harry is alright
I would give up my life

As your godfather, I’ll always save you
I know it’s what James would want me to do
It’s what he’d want me to do
It’s what I want to do
It’s what I need to do

I feel my spirit moving toward the veil
And I’m getting cold.
I love you, Harry

The Secret Broom Cupboard of Salazar Slytherin Columbia City, Indiana

I like to say we're the poor man's The 8th Horcrux. We've been doing our brand of parody wizard rock since 2010, though on hiatus. Composed of brothers James and Michael Mahoney (both Pottermore Slytherins) currently residing in Indiana. We have fun writing and recording our parodies, even if no one else listens.
