we have no need to

tell you the truth

they whisper

(quietly, from the

shadows)

(we have no need for

honesty)


they whisper

(like

.c.o.w.a.r.d.s.)

we hold the

truth

(we see no reason to

give it up)


aristocrats

nobles

purebloods

we are

golden

(you should be,

too)


they tell

him

lies

disguised as

truths

you will be

like us

(or else)


they corrupt

everyone

we are not the liars

leave behind

dirt

filth

do you mean

mudbloods


and he is

sick

of it

so very very

sick

oh, dear regulus

one more lie

can't hurt

can it


so they

trick

persuade

convince

connive

and hate

but they say

just one more lie

(it's not deluding

yourself)

(not if you

enjoy it)


he

feels so

empty

we're so

sorry?

(except when we're

not)

well thank you for

nothing

he says

ungrateful boy

you don't

deserve us


he

he

he-

refuses

please?

you're

clever

one more lie,

golden boy

(how about

a lie for us all)
