These Days Are Dark
Harry and the Potters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voldemort is back, he's come alive
These times are dark, but I can see a light
I can see it in your eyes

We got Sirius Black and he's pretty serious
Now that the dark lord's back
We got the whole Weasley family
With Dad helping at the Ministry
With Hagrid and Madame Maxine, I'm sure
We'll be on the winning team

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

McGonagall, and Severus Snape
And Professor Lupin will be back before it's too late
I got Ron and Hermione
And nothing can take my best friends away from me
And with Albus Dumbledore, I'm sure
We'll be on the winning team

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
And what comes will come
And when it does
We'll meet it with all of our courage
These days are dark, but we won't fall
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
And what comes will come
And when it does
We'll meet it with all of our courage
These days are dark, but we won't fall
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
These days are dark, but we won't fall

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
And what comes will come
And when it does
We'll meet it with all of our courage
These days are dark, but we won't fall
These days are dark, but we won't fall

And the world is beautiful, just look around
And the world is beautiful, just look around
And the world is beautiful, just look around
And the world is beautiful, just look at all your friends

These days are dark, but we won't fall
We'll stick together through it all
And what comes will come
And when it does
We'll meet it with all of our courage
These days are dark, but we won't fall
These days are dark, but we won't fall

And the world is beautiful, just look around
And the world is beautiful, just look around




And the world is beautiful, just look around
And the world is beautiful, just look at all your friends
