Angel's Holocaust (Iced Earth)

As I walk through the blackened forest

Thoughts of hate and anger fill my soul

Death and mayhem everywhere. Destruction all around. The Dark Mark in the sky. I flee aimlessly through the dark woods, the screams of the innocent victims still echoing in my head. What have I done?

I break down and fall to my knees. I want to cry but there are no tears. No way to repent. No way to atone for my sins.

The charred remains of the holy rollers

Scream repentance though it's far too late

Somehow I ended up in Dumbledore's office. I'm still not quite sure how. I expect nothing in return as I barr my soul to him and confess what I have done.

Strangely he doesn't condemn me, he doesn't turn me in to the aurors, instead he offers me a teaching post at Hogwarts, he wants me to spy for the "side of light".

I fight back the laughter at what I see

The suffering healers flase destined prophecy

I have now been teaching for ten years. Voldemort had been defeated. By a one-year-old boy. It would almost be funny – if it weren't for the many who had died.

But he will come back, I know it. Somehow he'll find a way and return.

I have to watch out.

Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. The-Boy-Who-Lived. I don't like him, he has no respect for anything, just like his father, but I have to keep an eye on him. Because of the prophecy: when Voldemort returns, Potter will be the only one capable of destroying him. Ha! Laughable! He can't even brew one decent potion, how should he save the wizarding world?

I had to safe his life once already, and he's only in his first year.

He didn't think yesterday of the end of his life

The brainwashed fools born again of a thousand lies

I always knew it would happen sometimes, but I am still not prepared for it. Voldemort has come back. Tonight he has been resurrected, in the cemetery where his father lies.

Now it will all start again. And who will win this time?

Hate filled screams break the silence

Terrifying dreams filling up your head

I am spying again.

Now there is again pain, death and destruction. The fact that Voldemort is lying low does not mean that he does not kill. The Ministry does not want to believe that he is back, the fools. But then again, I never had a very high opinion of the Ministry.

Blasphemy thrusting out, in the masses it reigns

The mask of hypocrisy is slowly unveiled

The Ministry finally accknowledges Voldemort's return. Not that they'd had much chance, with him turning up at the Ministry itself!

But you never know with those fools.

Fear the angels holocaust, they're screaming

Dreams of pain forever entering your head

Damn Narcissa and her stupid vow! I know I should never have sworn something like that, but I could not blow my cover.

Death and hatred loathing on mankind it feeds

Earth is dead and gone now, we've brought it to an end

I have done it. I have killed the only one who ever believed in me. I have killed Albus Dumbledore. It does not matter that he wanted me do it, I am guilty nonetheless. I am a murderer and I have murdered my only friend.

For the last time I've been betrayed

Never again will I subject myself to this hypocrisy

Something's drawing me to the other side

Only time will tell my true destiny
