Summary: The song, "Goodnight Saigon" by Billy Joel, adapted for the Order of the Phoenix.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Order or Billy Joel's song thank you very much. (some of the lyrics didn't change)
We met as best friends
Somewhere near Hogsmeade
We left as strong men
With great ambition
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
We came in so green
Like brand new seekers
We left all scarred up
Like old machinery
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our hearts were heavy
But we kept up the fight
We had no safe place
We had no brave face
They sent us cocoa
And packaged dinners
We dug down deep
And stuck it through
And we prayed to God above
We'd come back alive
We sat in trenches
And spied on Voldie
We read Witch Weekly
And didn't sleep much
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised all our wives that we'd write
And we would all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Remember James P.
Remember Lily
They left their child
For their noble duty
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It always mattered
In the thick of the fight
We held the future
In the palm
Of our hand
He ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as
Six weeks
Somewhere near Hogsmeade
We held onto Hogwarts
They had the Riddle's old Place
And they were sharp
As sharp as knifes
They heard the sound of footsteps
They counted our shadows
And waited for us to arrive
And we all go down together
We said we'd all go down together.
Yes we all go down together...
A/N: I hope you liked it. This is the first real serious fic I've done. This should not make you laugh. It should make you think. The real song brought a tear to my eye and I thought it would be good for the Order. This is the old Order, mind you. Please review, and think.
