about

This is a parody of "Soul Singer in a Session Band" by Bright Eyes, off the album Cassadaga.

lyrics

The final act of the First Wizarding War
They sacrificed themselves so their son could live more
Then he defeated the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort
In the final act of the First Wizarding War

For 11 years we have suffered under the power of him
And his Death Eater Army, controlled by his whim
We’ve had dark days for so long, but it’ll start to lighten
Now that You-Know-Who’s gone, days won’t be so dim

Because of the final act of the First Wizarding War
They sacrificed themselves so their son could live more
Then he defeated the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort
In the final act of the First Wizarding War

When I first heard the news that James and Lily had died
I was outwardly heartbroken, but deep down inside
I knew that if it helped defeat him, I thought as I sighed
Then I’m grateful they’re gone, I just will not tell lies

Because of the final act of the First Wizarding War
When they sacrificed themselves so their son could live more
He then defeated the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort
In the final act of the First Wizarding War

We allowed Dumbledore to choose where Harry would go
Since his parents had died and he was all alone
Dumbledore said that Harry’d live in his relative’s home
Said something about old magic, then he wouldn’t say more

The final act of the First Wizarding War
James and Lily sacrificed themselves so their son could live more
Then he defeated the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort
In the final act of the First Wizarding War

I have plans to become the Minister of Magic someday
And I knew Albus and Barty would get in my way
So I wish I’d been the one to make sure Harry was safe
I, Fudge, would be Minister, but now I’ll just wither away

All because of the final act of the First Wizarding War
They sacrificed themselves so their son could live more
Then he defeated the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort
In the final act of the First Wizarding War
I’ll work hard to use it to become Minister

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.
