• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

This filk is dedicated to the Gryffindors of Hogwarts Philippines, 
and fellow Josh Groban admirers.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Verse 1
 
Harry:   
On this starry night,
We serve detention yet again.
In the forest forbidden,
With Hagrid we'll go search for unicorns.
Hagrid (to the students):   
Evil's afoot this night.
Try hard not to scream in fright
Of shadows made by the moonlight.
I hope we'll finish this before daylight.


Chorus

Students (to Hagrid):   
We don't understand.
What is happening out here?
Is that unicorn blood?  Is evil near?
We're trying hard to hide our fear.
Draco:   
I shouldn't be here....
Hagrid (to Draco):   
No use fretting now.
We'll get through this somehow.


Verse 2
[Exit Hagrid, Hermione, Draco, and Fang.  Firenze gallops into the scene]

Firenze (to Harry):   
Mars is bright tonight.
The stars, we know what they portend.
His plans will have an evil end.
Unicorn blood will sustain him for now
His life's cursed anyhow
But the Stone will change all that,
His power, too much to combat.
I hope the stars have been read wrong this time.


Chorus

Harry (to Firenze):   
Now I understand
What the clues are telling me.
Voldemort's alive, his spirit's free,
His revenge soon we will all see.
But would they listen to a boy like me,
If I tell Professor D.?


Bridge
[Enter Bane and Ronan]

Firenze (to Harry):   
Come and ride back with me,
I'll bring you to safety.
Bane (to Firenze):   
Firenze, you're not a simple mule.
Put the boy down, you're no fool.
Don't meddle in what the heavens have planned.
Firenze (to Bane):   
But he's the Boy Who Lived, Bane.
On my stand, I'll remain.
I thought that you would understand.


Instrumental
[Harry rides back with Firenze.  They find Hagrid, Hermione, Draco, 
and Fang again]

                            
Verse 3

Hagrid:   
Ah, Firenze, I see you've met.
Oh, Harry, what happened to you?
Harry: 
Unicorn's dead, I saw it too, 
The evil, then Firenze came, off it flew.

Chorus
[While Harry and Hermione walk back to the Gryffindor dormitories....]

Harry (to Hermione):   
Now I think I know
What the clues are telling me.
Voldemort's alive, his spirit's free.
And he wants the Stone, you see.
But would they listen to a kid like me?
Let's find Professor D.!

• Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones

My Padawan hasn't arrived.
Hope I get out of this alive.
We're chasing an assassin all over Coruscant and...
As I fall down from the skies,
My life flashes before my eyes.
Hope that I get through this evening.

And I thought I'll hit the streets
Now I'm in the passenger seat.
Oh and I will keep my eyes tightly closed,
Knowing Anakin's flying skills.

We sped away then took a dive.
Anakin's on overdrive.
He's scaring me with his flying.
Suddenly he hit the brakes,
and jumped! Foolish move to make.
Here he left me waiting...

So I looked down at the street,
Climbed right into the driver's seat.
I will fly this speeder and hit the road
I will chase them fast as they flee....

I watched my Padawan's feats,
His saber's in my passenger seat.
The assassin's vehicle crashed below.
Now it can't get away from me.

Oh, I just hope... it won't blow....

* I landed right on the street,
Good thing I did not eat concrete...
Oh, and I ran after them on the road
Now they're just a few feet from me.

(repeat * twice)

I landed right on the street....
Good thing I did not eat concrete. 

• Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

He rode to Edoras today,
And he just took my breath away.
When I saw him I knew I had fallen in love.
But he can't love me in the same way.
I looked into his eyes and stared,
All the time my brain tells me beware.
But I can't help the feelings he seems to evoke
Even though my dreams look like they'll go up in smoke.


Oh I love him with all that I am.
It seems my fate is out of my hands.
'Cause she's all that he thinks of, Arwen Elf-Princess,
Think I'm out of my league with this man.


He holds on to the Evenstar,
His anchor to her from afar.
As our world goes to war all I feel is despair,
I might lose him in battle but why should I care?


Well, I love him with all that I am.
It seems my fate is out of my hands.
For his destiny calls him to triumph for Men,
And to bring back glory for his land.
Then there's Arwen, Elf-Princess, I'm just a Shieldmaiden.
I'm out of my league with this man.
