That fateful night
There was a flash of bright green light
Thanks to little Potter boy
They all thought I’d gone

I thought, I’d died
Passed on to the other side
Thanks to all my horcruxes
I was hanging on

I’m not ready to play nice
I’m not ready to back off
Just close your eyes
And count to ten
Here I come ready or not
It’s not too late to stand and fight
You probably wouldn’t if you could
Don’t close your eyes
Cause I’m right behind you
You didn’t think that I forgot?

I know he said
It takes love to conquer it
But now you’re all by yourself
And I kinda like it

So come out to play little Potter baby
My wand hand itches and I don’t mean maybe
I’m a bad, bad man
Wanna hear you scream like your
Mother when she tried to save her little baby
So come out come out from wherever you are
Let’s relive that night when I gave you that scar
This time I’m not playing
Once you hear me saying
Avada Kedavra! Your life will be over!

I’m not ready to play nice
I’m not ready to back off
Just close your eyes
And count to ten
Here I come ready or not
It’s not too late to stand and fight
You probably wouldn’t if you could
Roll up your sleeves
Give me your best shot
You didn’t think that I forgot?

I’m not ready to play nice
I’m not ready to back off
Just close your eyes
And count to ten
Here I come ready or not
It’s not too late to stand and fight
You probably wouldn’t if you could
Don’t close your eyes
Cause I’m right behind you
You didn’t think that I forgot?

One fateful night
Will be a flash of bright green light
This time little Riddle boy
Won’t be failing
