Behind Black Eyes

Chapter 1

Little One Shot


No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind black eyes

And no one knows

What it's like to be hated

To be fated to telling only lies

"Severus," begged Dumbledore, begging him to fulfil his vow.

"Avada kedavra" said Severus his voice emotionless his fury bubbling under the surface. Dumbledore had played this one all too well, and he'd been forced to kill the man who'd given him a second chance.

"Out of here, quickly." He couldn't stand there any longer. Even worse he was having to flee the only place he'd ever called home.

But my dreams they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

No one knows what its like

To feel these feelings

Like i do, and i blame you!

"Fight back!" Potter screamed at him, "Fight back, you cowardlyboy gritting his teeth forcing his reactions back. it was tortourious seeing Lilys eyes staring back out of a face he loathed above all others, except Black.

No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain and woe

Can show through

But my dreams they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

"No!" roared Severus, at the huge Death Eater behind Potter, "Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord - we are to leave him! Go! Go!"

No one knows what its like

To be mistreated, to be defeated

Behind black eyes

No one knows how to say

That they're sorry and don't worry

I'm not telling lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

"DONT CALL ME COWARD." Snarled Severus inhumanly. The boy had no idea what he was doing, how hard it was...he was anything but a coward.

No one knows what its like

To be the bad man, to be the sad man

"Take it...Take it" murmured Severus weakly he wanted someone to know he wasnt truly the bad guy.

Behind black eyes.

"Look...at...me..." Whispered Severus as white hot agony pierced him. Lily's eyes were the last thing he wanted to look at.

The green eyes found the black, but after a few seconds something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish.


The song isn't mine it's limp bizkit behind blue eyes just changed to black :) and the parts of speech are speech from Harry potter 6/7 I just think it sift Severus very well xD
