And now a duet by me and Cookie.
(Color code: Snape's thoughts, Dumbledore speaking, Snape speaking.)
Spy of the Night (To the tune of The Music of the Night from the Phantom of the Opera.)
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses add to their defenses
But only Dumbledore is in my sight
For I am his loyal spy of the night
Slowly Albus talks in Splendor
I know this, I sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, the Dark Lord's deceiving,
Saying all the things I must recall
For my job is the most dangerous of all.
"Close your eyes-
For your eyes will only speak your mind
And your mind is what the Dark Lord shouldn't see
In the dark, it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be."
Softly, deftly, his words invade my mind,
That's how I must protect my double role
I must close my mind, in order to save mankind,
In this Darkness which he knows is hard to fight,
But I must fight as the spy of the Night!
"Block out thoughts- Start a journey through my darkest dreams! Leave all thoughts of the life I want to live, block out thoughts and let darkness let me see, only thoughts that will help set me free."
"Floating, falling, dark intoxication,
As a spy, I still hate each Sensation,
The darkness begins, my role as spy always wins,
No comfort from this dark job is in sight,
Though not acknowledged, I will do what's right!"
"To keep my life I must always fight, help me carry on and do what's right."
