Schattentanz im Silberschatten

Lyrics

Verse 1) Born in the shadows of Spinner’s End, Half-blood with dreams that no one could mend. Gryffindor laughter, the stones and the jeers, Lily with fire in her eyes and her hair. You loved her deeply, the one and only flame, But cruel words cut deep and shattered the game. (Chorus) Severus, Severus, Half-Blood Prince so true, Master of potions, in darkness you grew. Two faces you wore, but one heart stayed pure, For Lily, for Dumbledore — loyal to the core. Black and white twisted deep in your soul, The man no one ever fully knew. (Verse 2) Death Eater mark, young and misled, The Dark Lord called — and your path turned red. The greatest mistake, the word that you spoke, To Voldemort whispered, and everything broke. Then came the Unbreakable Vow in the night, A promise of pain, for her blood and the light. (Chorus) Severus, Severus, Half-Blood Prince so true, Master of potions, in darkness you grew. Double agent walking the razor’s edge, Poison on your tongue, but fire in your pledge. Black and white twisted deep in your soul, The man no one ever fully knew. (Verse 3) In the dungeons you ruled, the stern Potions Master, Points stripped from Gryffindor, Potter faced disaster. Yet secretly guarding the boy with her eyes, Protecting in silence beneath all the lies. Slytherin’s dungeons — your kingdom, your throne, But true to Dumbledore in whispers alone. (Bridge) By the lake in the end, your final breath drawn, Memories flowing as the light carried on. “Look at me…” — the truth in your dying gaze, Years of the mask finally torn away. Victim, traitor, hero, ghost in the mist, The bravest of all — never on any list. (Final Chorus – softer, then building) Severus, Severus, forever in the shade, Without you the world would have long been unmade. From Spinner’s End to the castle of stone, The greatest unknown — you stood there alone. Black and white… and at last only light, Severus Snape — you gave everything that night.
