Listen here: Stay Close to Me

On my way to die,
Loved ones walk with me.
The forest again –
This is my destiny.

There’s only one way this madness will end.
My task is to give my life up for my friends.
As I walk to the close, stay close to me.

They tell me they will stay
With me ’til the end.
I ask if there’s pain.
Reassurance Padfoot lends.

You gave up your lives, didn’t want you to die.
“For a happier world,” Moony sighs.
Now they walk with me, they are part of me.
They’ll protect me through this swarm of fiends.
As I walk to the close, stay close to me.

We search through the dark
So I can make my final stand.
I feel separate from myself,
Focused only on how it ends.

On my way to die,
Loved ones walk with me.
Neither can survive,
That’s how it has to be.

My life comes to this, my ultimate goal.
Yes, I must die to kill an evil soul.
Won’t fight him back, but I won’t lose control.
Please give me strength to play this final role.

Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.

Stay with me mum, walk next to me dad.
Thank you for life and for giving me love.
Please stay with me mum, walk next to me dad.
As I walk to the close…
As I walk to the close, stay close to me.
