THE SCENE: The Forbidden Forest. FIRENZE prophecies concerning our 11-
year-old hero

FIRENZE 
The planets shine on in space
My centaur soul is stirring
With each portent in place
The crisis is occurring 
The scale of it's nothing less than stellar
All of which doth involve that Potter feller

In the night sky see vast canopies of stars
Such as Aldebaran and glad Arcturus,
Rigel, bright Betelgeuse and Archenar
All of whom a thriving future ensure us.
We of Capella sing, and the glorious Pleiades
And all of them other heaven-ly bodies.

But over yonder, celestial signs of doom
Now skyward warn with Acrux and Becrux glaring
Polaris burns with transgalactic gloom
And Bellatrix is Regulus a-scaring
With dismal auguries from Alpha Centauri - 
All seen too plainly by the naked Centaur eye

A slayer of a unicorn
Accurséd and depraved
Condemned to live in damnéd form
With no hope to be saved, with no hope to be saved
Her blood is only drank by those
With nothing more to lose
His ID I will now disclose
We call him "You-Know-Whose"
We'll now disclose, he's "You-Know-Whose!"
But he need not his crime atone
If he can only grab the Stone.
Despite all of my great acuity
I see there is yet ambiguity
I see there is yet ambiguity
Oh, star of Mars and star of Venus, say
What destiny shall this young lad essay?, 

A slayer of a unicorn
Accurséd and depraved
Her blood is only drank by those
With nothing more to lose
His ID I will now disclose
We call him "You-Know-Whose"
We'll now disclose, he's "You-Know-Whose"
Oh, star of Mars and star of Venus, say
What destiny shall this young lad essay?,
Star of Mars and star of Venus, star of Mars and star of Venus, say
What shall this young lad essay?,
Oh, star of Mars and star of Venus, say
Oh, star of Mars and star of Venus, say
What destiny shall this young lad essay, young lad essay
Shall this young lad, this lad essay?
