Dark Mark in the Sky

about

Parody of the 1948 classic by Stan Jones in the style of Johnny Cash. This was originally recorded for a charity compilation called "Man in Yellow & Black" - a collection of wizard rock parodies of Johnny Cash songs. Proceeds went to our friend Danny who had some excessive medical bills to cover.

lyrics

My mates and I were camping at the quidditch world cup
The Irish sure could party they were tearing that place up
When all at once we heard a noise and watched as in a dream
The death eaters were marching through
and making muggles scream

They tore right through the campsite and they set my tent ablaze
We ducked and ran for cover but then through the smokey haze
I heard an incantation and could not believe my eyes
Skull and snake up in the air and I heard their awful cries

Crucio Cruci-ay

Dark Mark in the sky

Two or three years later I was with these blokes once more
Carousing late in Hogsmeade when this witch burst through the door
She’s yelling bloody murder and she drags us all outside
She points at Hogwart’s Castle and we know that someone’s died.

We ran up to the flying pigs that stand at Hogwart’s gate
Just as we got up there saw some folks disapparate
We ran up to the castle just as fast as we could fly
Saw tangle robes upon the ground and knew it was goodbye
