# The Hogwarts Graveyard **Verse 1** Beyond the castle, past the trees, Where frozen mist hangs on the breeze, There stands a gate of rusted stone, A place where no one walks alone. The names are carved, the roses dead, The moon shines pale above the dead, And every night when bells are heard, The graves begin to stir. **Pre-Chorus** Don’t cross the gate, Don’t touch the stone, Some spirits want to stay alone. But if you hear Your name nearby— Whatever you do, don’t reply. **Chorus** In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Shadows are dancing beneath the moonlight, Ghosts rise slowly, their eyes burning white, Calling the living below. In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Cold hands are reaching just out of your sight, Run for the castle and stay in the light— Before the dead take you home. **Verse 2** An angel statue turns its face, Footprints appear without a trace, A broken wand lies in the mud, Beside a name carved deep in stone. The wind begins to whisper low, Secrets only dead souls know, Then from beneath the oldest grave A lonely voice begins to say: **“You shouldn’t have come here.”** **Chorus** In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Shadows are dancing beneath the moonlight, Ghosts rise slowly, their eyes burning white, Calling the living below. In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Cold hands are reaching just out of your sight, Run for the castle and stay in the light— Before the dead take you home. **Bridge** Grave after grave, Row after row, Names from a lifetime ago. Some died in battle, Some disappeared, Some were forgotten For hundreds of years. Then every headstone Begins glowing blue, And from the darkness Something walks through. Not quite alive. Not quite a ghost. The thing that the graveyard Fears the most. **Final Chorus** In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Thunder is breaking, the sky flashes white, Raise up your wand and hold onto the light, The dead are surrounding the gate. In the graveyard at Hogwarts tonight, Ancient dark magic is waking to life, Run for the castle before midnight strikes— Before it is already too late. **Outro** The graveyard grows silent. The moon disappears. The castle bell echoes Through hundreds of years. And underneath A forgotten stone… A voice softly whispers: **“Welcome home.”**
