The Death Eater Song
(A Filk set to the "Jet Song" from "West Side Story")

The beginning of this filk popped into my mind as a result of a comment
made by someone here on the list (Oryomai, I think?). She was talking about
Snape and wrote, "When you're a DE, you're a DE all the way," and suggested
it'd make a good filk. The first verse came right away, and then I didn't
give it much futher thought. Then, at Nimbus, I had the pleasure of meeting
some of the HP filk mavens - Gail B., Caius Marcus, Lilac, Mariner and
Pippin to name a few - and was inspired to actually write the whole thing.
So, here it is - my very first ever filk! Hope you like it. :-)

(Scene: Death Eaters have gathered at the Malfoy home after Voldemort's
resurrection in the graveyard, to discuss Snape's loyalty, and their plans
for going after Harry.)


MALFOY: (spoken) Against Potter, we need every man we've got.

VOLDEMORT: Snape don't belong anymore.

MALFOY: Cut it, Voldie boy. I and Snape started the Death Eaters.

VOLDEMORT: Well, he acts like he don't wanna belong.

AVERY: Who wouldn't wanna belong to the Death Eaters?

VOLDEMORT: Snape ain't been with us at the graveyard, and I believe he's
left me forever.

CRABBE: What about the day we clobbered the Prewitts?

GOYLE: Which we couldn't have done without Snape.

AVERY: He saved my ever-lovin' neck!

MALFOY: Right! He's always come through for us and he will now. Snape knows
you can't leave the Death Eaters!

(sings)

When you eat death, you eat death all the way
>From your first crucio to your final AK

When you eat death, you can never go back
Now you're Voldemort's man, and your mark's burnin' black

You're never alone - to Voldie you're connected
You'll come when he calls, unless you want your fidelity suspected

Now you are marked with a skull and a snake
Which will never come off 'till your last dying day.

When you eat death, you can't go back!

MALFOY: (Spoken) I know Severus like I know me. I guarantee you can count
him in.

VOLDEMORT: In, out, let's get crackin'

GOYLE: Where you gonna find Potter? 

MALFOY: At Petunia's house on Privet Drive.

MCNAIR: But he's protected at Privet Drive. 

MALFOY: (innocently) I'm gonna make nice there! I'm only gonna watch him.

GOYLE: Great, Daddy-O!

MALFOY: Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet. Meet Snape and me at ten. And walk tall!

GOYLE: We always walk tall!

AVERY: We're Death Eaters!

VOLDEMORT: The greatest!

CRABBE & GOYLE: (sing)

When you eat death, it's a pack signed in blood
Put your mask on your face and then draw up your hood

AVERY, VOLDEMORT & MCNAIR:

When you eat death, you're the evilest thing
Your a prince in the court, Voldemort is the king

ALL:

You never can leave, the Dark Mark can't be hidden.
Like Regulus learned, trying to get out is strictly forbidden!

We're eatin' death, like a bat out of hell
Mudbloods get in our way, mudbloods don't feel so well

We're eatin' death,Wizard world step aside
Better go underground, better run, better hide.

We're drawin' the line - we're keepin' wizard blood pure
The mudbloods will find that we don't welcome them here,so better steer
clear

We're eatin' death, yeah, and we're gonna beat
Potter and all his friends on the whole buggin' street

On the whole
Buggin'
Mudblood
Lovin' 
Street!
Yeah!


So - whadda ya think? <g>
