Parselmouth
Voldemort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four
Kill him, Basilisk, see him crawling on the floor
The Chamber of Secrets reopened by the Heir
Unleash the horror within, purge the Mudbloods there

[chorus]
Kill, kill, kill
I want to kill you
Kill, kill, kill
I want to rip you
Kill, kill, kill
The Chamber is open
Kill, kill, kill
Mudblood will flow

Obey me, great Basilisk, fierce and deadly Serpent King
Venomous fangs and a murderous stare
Kill for Salazar Slytherin

[chorus]

Your skeleton will lie
In the Chamber forever




Enemies of the Heir…
Beware!

Overall Meaning

The song "Parselmouth" by Voldemort is a dark and sinister portrayal of his desire to destroy all those who are not pure-blooded, particularly the Mudbloods. In this song, he invokes the spirit of Salazar Slytherin, the founder of the Slytherin House, and praises him as the greatest of the Hogwarts four founders. Voldemort then calls upon the Basilisk, a creature created by Slytherin himself, to kill in his name and unleashes it upon the school.


The lyrics of the song are full of violent imagery, with Voldemort expressing his hatred towards the Mudbloods repeatedly through the chorus "Kill, kill, kill, I want to kill you, Kill, kill, kill, I want to rip you, Kill, kill, kill, the Chamber is open, Kill, kill, kill, Mudblood will flow". He commands the Basilisk with a sense of admiration and fear, calling it "fierce and deadly" with "venomous fangs and a murderous stare".


The song ends with a warning to all those who oppose Voldemort, stating that their "skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever" and that they should beware of the "Enemies of the Heir". The song sets the ominous and foreboding tone that is present throughout the Harry Potter series, with Voldemort's relentless pursuit of power and his willingness to use violence to achieve his goals.

the fact that voldemort says to nagini "my friend" is something remarkable. I guess the dark lord had love only for his snake

El Muchacho

yea but he only really cares about her simply for the fact that her existence is vital to his immortality.

Téja Frikha

***** okeey I see what you did theeere

[SPOILERS]
yeah, but thing is, voldemort is actually incapable of feeling love, since he was conceived under the effect of the love potion. wiki that.
he seems to only like nagini because its one of his hocruxes, meaning its....literally him.

Voldemort, the first narcissist.

I always love how Lucius looks all high mighty and clean in the first movies, and then in the last two he looks all rugged and broken.
