Swish and Filk - Potter Style Filks and such

To Know But Not to Seek

Written and performed by Nina, based on the song “Scarlet” by Brooke Fraser

Sound of the ocean
Cold earth beneath my feet
Gifts of my tears and pain
Are needed

Eyes, wide and shining
Sprinkled with stars they cannot see
One silver lining
You knew the feeling to be free

And over the horizon
Breaks the dawn in pink and gold
My path as I now see it
Will unfold

And there you go
You’ve gone for good
There you go
You’ve gone for good

Those things you told me
Am I to know but not to seek?
Am I to have faith in you?

I can see clearly
Now I have learned what you believed
The Horcruxes not
The Hallows

And over the horizon
Breaks the dawn in pink and gold
My path as I now see it
Will unfold

And now I know
It’s understood
Now I know
It’s understood

Ooooh…

Now I know
It’s understood
Now I know
It’s understood

OMG, is that Nina’s MOM that comment?! I love that!

This filk is fantastic, Nina, and I really love it. You really captured what Harry was feeling and sensing there. Nicely done.
