FILK: Ravenclaw War Song (from the Voldemort War years)

I wanted to do a "Harry Potter" filksong that would be as scary to listen to
as Heather Alexander's "March of Cambreath," with its chorus of "How many of
them can we make die?"

Ravenclaw Battle Song, or Trouble Rather The Tiger in His Lair than the Sage Among His Books.

(from the Voldemort War)

To the tune of The Ranger Fight Song (Scotland the Brave)

Slaughter the evil wizards
We'll cut out all their gizzards
Onward, the Blue-and-Yellow
Up, Ravenclaw, and at 'em!
Death Eaters will be dead
Their bones ground to make our bread
Onward, the Blue-and-Yellow
Up, Ravenclaw! Singing:

(Chorus)
Blast, blast down each Death Eater
Send them down to defeat or
Send them to Azkaban or
Send them to Hell forever!
We will never give them mercy
They were bad, we'll treat them worse, see?
Onward, the Blue-and-Yellow,
Up, Ravenclaw!

With wands and spells we'll fight our battle
Pound their heads till their teeth rattle,
Not leave them their eyes to cry with,
Or their tongues to say "Goodbye" with!
They will all feel our spells' lashes,
When we're done they'll all be ashes!
On with the Blue-and-Yellow,
Up, Ravenclaw!  Singing:

(Chorus)

Ravenclaw, the home of knowledge,
Smartest students of this college,
Calls her girls and boys to war,
Like it's often been before!
Bloodlust sends us on a bender,
We don't know the word "surrender!"
On with the Blue-and-Yellow,
Up, Ravenclaw!  Singing:

(Chorus)
