Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs
Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs,
Four friendships, true and strong
Noble Gryffindors each one,
How did we go so wrong?
The times we spend at Hogwarts School,
I knew you all so well
but one was never what he seemed,
Could any of us tell?
Another two were strong and true,
Brash, perhaps, but good
so keen to help each other out,
Do anything they could
I was Moony, last one left,
how strange that it should be
when all of this was over with,
the last one there was me.
Not all of us are dead and gone,
but I mourn all the same
for two dead and one who tarnishes
the good Marauder name
First went Wormtail, filthy rat,
Who turned from early on
Though still alive, he’s better dead
And from my heart is gone
Dear Prongs fell next, at paw of rat
Defending to the end
A noble stag with life cut short
By one he called a friend
Now Padfoot, too has joined his friend
And left me here alone
I never thought I’d see the day
When all my friends had gone.
Now what of Moony, last one left,
Just what can he do now?
All I can do is sit and cry,
And wonder, simply, how?
Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs
Four Gryffindors of old
where once I felt your warm embrace,
There now is naught but cold
The best of friends, the worst of foes
It now is all the same
Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs
We have ourselves to blame
We should have seen,
we should have known,
now I just sit and sigh
Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs,
It's time to say goodbye.
