The Prince of Darkness (filk)

[Caius Marcius]

The Prince of Darkness 

To the tune of The Prince of Humbug, from Barnum

NOTE: No MIDI or audio clips that I can find. The tune is very fast 
and circus-y (think Nina Rota) with lots of trombone glissandi

THE SCENE: Undisclosed. Enter LORD VOLDEMORT

VOLDEMORT:
The Prince of Darkness, dust and ash
Riddle battle, Sybill's gloss
Goblet's goblin, party boss 
Erlking and incubus
And vogue rogue I am! 
 
The scourge of Hogwarts, Tommy's son
Glibber fibber, demonic
Nihilist so sardonic 
Swastika, Caligula
Ooh la la C'est moi!
  
Cloven hoof and sulfur smells
World embroiled, lawless spells
Empire of Evil strolls
Thanks to me, damn your souls!
 
The Prince of Darkness, run amok
Bleak and barren, desert waste
Hubris toward the human race
Shock and awe and mock of law
That's me!

In a world of grief and greed some wizards have goals
To improve our dismal lot both body and soul
With a strength as bright as day and bold as can be
Someone's got to shut them down 
All their good will run aground
Tell ya who that someone's got to be
..

The Prince of Darkness, Parseltongue
Payback, blowback, guttersnipe
Blister, boggart, utter blight
A First Strike and the Third Reich 
One who killed Diggory
I am! And damn, I'll always be! 
YEAH!
