Our Crime

To the tune of Our Time, from Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along

Dedicated to Pippin

THE SCENE: Just outside Godric's Hollow, on the evening of October 
31, 1980. Their voices pulsating with youthful idealism, Death Eaters 
LUCIUS MALFOY, BELLATRIX LESTRANGE & PETER PETTIGREW eagerly 
anticipate Voldemort's planned massacre of the Potter family. 

LUCIUS
Someone who's shifty
Underground 
 
Won't be undone 
It'll be nifty 
When he's found 
Lily and James's son 

It's all clear 
It's so horrible 
We're so horrible 
See us here
We're so evil `cause we're Death Eaters
We're Lucius, Bellatrix and Peter 
Let them know now to fear us
 
It's our crime, mortal sin
Time to kill and kill again 
His wrath they will rue 
You-Know-Who, man, 
You-Know-Who! 

PETER:
He knows the secret
That I kept
..

BELLATRIX:
What? 

PETER:
Where they dwell! 
Shouldn't we three bet 
He'll have schlepped 
The Potter clan to Hell?

And you and me, 
We're betraying them without qualm
With dark magic and icy calm
All three shall be laid low 

ALL THREE
Over there in the Hollow
 

Our crime, mortal sin
Time to kill and kill again 
His wrath they shall rue 
You-Know-Who, pal, 
You-Know-Who!

BELLATRIX 
Soon they're dead 
It's so wonderful 
He's so wonderful! 

ALL THREE
At Hog's Head 
All we heard was that odd prediction, 
Of some child who'd bring us friction 
Now it looks like he can't! 
 

LUCIUS
His chances seem scant. 

ALL THREE: 
It's their heads on the block. 
>From our acts and aftershocks 
Our crime they will rue 
You-Know-Who, pal, 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 

The Dark Mark appears in the sky above the Potters' cottage

LUCIUS (spoken) There!

PETER (spoken): There it is!
 
BELLATRIX (spoken): Say it for me

LUCIUS (spoken): You call it the Dark Mark, you call it Morsmordre – 
we're standing on the threshold of the future – we've got to be the 
luckiest villains who ever lived  - after this moment – this moment 
that the three of us are sharing here together – nothing is ever 
going to be the way it was – ever again. Do you guys realize that 
from now on we're going to be able to kill everyone – everyone who's 
ever dared to oppose us?  What a time to be starting out! What a time 
to take a life!

PETER (music)
Someone who's shifty
Underground 
 
Won't be undone 
It'll be nifty 
When he's found 
Lily and James's son

BELLATRIX
It's all clear 
It's so horrible 

PETER & LUCIUS
We're so horrible 

ALL THREE
Now we're here
We're so evil `cause we're Death Eaters
We're Lucius, Bellatrix and Peter 
Let them know now to fear us

It's our crime, mortal sin
Time to kill and kill again 
His wrath they will rue 
You-Know-Who, man, 
You-Know-Who!

Very soon 
We'll slay Prewett, and Frank attack
Torture Alice and set up Black 
They then will send that man
Straight to Azkaban 

It's their heads on the block. 
>From our acts and aftershocks
Our crimes are due to
You-Know-Who, pal, 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who! 
You-Know-Who!
