Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be

Memories were haunting him. Memories from happy days. Past days.

He saw the faces of his best friends. Ron and Hermione.

Pictures of three children visiting Hagrid, doing homework.

Arguing, playing, fighting, laughing.

He could still hear their voices.

And the only thing he could see was the darkness.

Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart

Now he was alone.

He stood at the lake in Hogwarts.

When he looked in it, he couldn't see his face mirrored.

Instead he saw the dead bodies of his friends.

With a sheer look of horror in their eyes.

And the other thing he could see was the darkness.

I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here

They had fought Voldemort since they were eleven.

They had fought always together, never alone.

He sank onto the ground. A wave of desperation washing over him.

A power, mighty and sinister as the devil himself, has taken them away from him.

Maybe dying would be a solution. Drowning in the cold water.

The darkness seemed to be an old and welcomed friend.

Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know  that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark

Lay right down decide not to go on.

The speech at the burial has sound pathetic to him.

Crying people everywhere, but he hadn't cried once.

All the sympathetic people had made him sick.

They couldn't even guess what it's like to live without them.

To know they only died because of being friends with him.

The darkness was everywhere around him.

Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow

No, he couldn't give up. He was not a coward.

Voldemort was still a threat for all free humans.

They had died trying to protect him, to save his life.

He owed it to them not to waste their sacrifice

He had to prove that their faith in him was justified.

Light began to push aside the darkness.

So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in abattle
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for

He would continue living and to give Evil a battle.

He has lost his best friends but there were still people who had hope.

He wanted revenge and freedom, he would find it in defeating Voldemort.

He was Harry Potter and as long as there was blood in his body he would fight.

And maybe someday they would be reunited again.

The darkness has turned itself into the twilight of dawn.
