Eve of His Rising
to the tune of "Eve of Destruction"  by Barry MacGuire

SCENE: Dumbledore, Harry and Snape are trying to convince Fudge that
Voldemort has returned.

DUMBLEDORE:
You must believe me, I ain't lyin',
Voldemort's back, there's no denyin',
His army's evil ranks are quickly multiplyin',
There's gonna be a war, that's what I'm specifyin',
In the starry sky, the Dark Mark will be flyin',
Yet you stick your head in the sand again and again,
You don't believe we're past the eve of his rising.

HARRY:
My testimony I present for your inspection,
I tell you I was there for his resurrection,
Voldemort's back, we'll all need protection,
Made a body of his own, with blood and flesh and bone,
So stand your ground, Fudge, don't fool around, Fudge!
Yet you stick your head in the sand again and again,
You don't believe we're past the eve of his rising.

SNAPE:
Back in the days of Voldy's domination,
At each Death Eater's initiation,
He'd mark our arms as a sign of our vocation,
And any time he felt like giving an oration,
He'd make us apparate to his location.
And now it's back, that gruesome decoration.
It's time to start our battle preparations,
Yet you stick your head in the sand again and again,
You don't believe we're past the eve of his rising.

FUDGE:
Get away from me, I don't want to see it!
This cannot be, I won't believe it!
That boy, he is deranged and melodramatic,
He's been unhinged by experience traumatic,
You-know-who is dead, on that I'm quite emphatic,
I may be narrow-minded, wussy and dogmatic,
But I'm still the man in charge, so don't give me any static!
Yes, I stick my head in the sand again and again,
I won't believe we're past the eve of his rising.
