I have given you a name
one that shows you can always change
no matter the way or mistake you’ve made.
And sometimes consequences define your life with hardship.
Will goodness be the banner you raise?
‘Cause with his last breath,
Severus said, “Take it, take it!”
Living in disguise,
a true wizard on the inside,
not afraid of what he had to do,
he was the bravest man I ever knew.
(spoken)
Albus Severus, you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin, and he was, probably, the bravest man I ever knew.
A true wizard on the inside.
The bravest man I ever knew.
A true wizard on the inside.
All these things that tie us close
to what matters most.
We cannot let go,
and sometimes consequences define your live with hardship.
Will goodness be the banner you raise?
‘Cause with his last breath
Severus said, “Take it, take it!”
Living in disguise,
a true wizard on the inside,
not afraid of what he had to do.
He was the bravest man I ever knew
(spoken)
Long ago I had a teacher, a sallow-skinned Slytherin with long black hair. I hated him and he seemed to hate me, too. Though I branded him a coward he was, in fact, the bravest man I ever knew.
A true wizard on the inside.
The bravest man I ever knew.
The bravest man I ever knew.
A true wizard on the inside.
The bravest man I ever knew.
Always, always,
there’s so much in one word.
Always, always
great lyrics!
and beautiful song!
this song always manages to make the hair on my arms stand on end. so very very nicely written
I’m eternally loving this song. Best Snape song (and Snape is the best character, after all) EVER!!!
I always get the same feeling like Jean when I listen to this song.
And also the other MoM songs
This song is still the best
Love this song!!!! “Always”….. that’s my favourite quote from Sev!!!!!!!!!
Oh how I love this song Severus Snape is my favorite so yeah lol.
Ministry of Magic is remarkable.
I have no words. This is great, great indeed.

:B
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh:P I OFICIALLY ADOREE MoM MORE THAN HARRY POTTER and thats badd…..:((
This has been my favourite song since I first heard it on MoM’s myspace when they first played it
It’s an adorable song ♥
^^ I agree with Eva!
This song has totally changed everything; I love Snape! He’s such a great character! I could go on and on and on for days, but I just wanted MoM to know that I’ve never listened to a song on repeat for more than ten minutes at a time in my entire life, but I listened to Bravest Man I Ever Knew 40 times within the first day that I found it. I just could not stop listening. Thanks for setting the standard on Wrock; I wish everyone could be as great as you!
SO TRUE
I love this song and I love this series. It has filled me with hope and happiness, moreso then I would have ever had without it.
This is my absolute favorite song ever!!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!!!!
The Lyrics itself tells us how great a character Severus Snape is! He is my fave character in the HP series! :]
I cried the first time I heard this <3
I cried too. This is a very powerful song.
This is one of the only songs I don’t mind that I bought two versions of it.
One is from Acoustasics (because I just wanted this song) and the other is from Goodbye Privet Drive. I’m not sure which one I like better.
It’s a truly amazing song that they’ve written.
Such a great song. still makes me cry when i hear it <3 <3
I miss Snape SO much! He is my absolute favorite character of all time! This somg made me cry the first few times and it is very sad, but also actually quite dancy! It’s a bittersweet song! On one hand it’s sad because all the HP fans who loved Snape really miss him and it’s sad the way they describe him taking his last breath and then the moment where he says “always” and casts the patronus, but on the other hand it’s a time where you can remember all the good times you remember involved Snape and think about the conclusion in book 7 after being confused as to whose side he was on, plus it has a great beat! Ministry of Magic is now one of my favorite wrock groups! I can’t wait to hear more of their stuff!! I LOVE this song so much! R.I.P Severus Snape.
(By the way I know I spelled “song” wrong in my last comment! My bad!)
Oh I feel so sorry for Sev… he’s my favourite caracter, and as I read the deathscene in the book I was full of disbeliev… but then I realised it’s true and I started to cry :’(
Anyway I love this song!
But btw where’s the quote “Always” from?
It’s from the Princes Tale.
When Snape finds out Harry has to die he’s mad because they’ve been trying to hard to keep him alive and Dumbledore asks if he’s started to care for Harry and Snape yells “For HIM?!” and makes a Patronus, and when Dumbledore sees that Snape’s Patronus is a doe (same as Lily’s Patronus, because he still loved her) Dumbledore sees that its also kind of emotional for him (Snape’s crying) and asks “After all this time?” and Snape says “Always.”
Haha, I LOVE Snape btw. <3
I love Snape!
He was always one of my fave characters and now even more so!
This is a truly fantastic song MoM are complete geniuses!
The first time I heard this song I played it non stop! My family were so fed up, they have no good taste in music.
Oh! It’s amazinng!!! I adore HP (Harry Potter) =]] please, fans of HP write me on twi (@Alishe_) or facebook (Lina Avosi). & russian fans write me on vkontakte (www.vkontakte.ru/igtisamova)
I love Sev…he is my the most favourite charakter. After him going Lucius & Drako Malfoys. The Remus Lupins & Draco and the Malfoys bands great, too.
I <3 Sev he's so cool and brave
The Slytherin who died a Gryffindor!
“Like”
he died like a brave slatherin,not like a gryffindor and i think he would hate it if you say hes like a gryffindor
Dumbledore himself implied he should be in gryffindor
And I think he’s right. Severus is really the bravest man we all ever knew, i think. I so love this song, it’s just awesome!
I love this song!whenever i see the words “he was the bravest man i ever knew”, tears build in my eyes,R.I.P Severus Snape…the bravest man I ever knew :’(
Oh My God ! This is brilliantly written piece of work.. the choicest of emotions, beautiful lyrics… truly commendable !
It summaries Severus Snape’s entire life, ordeal and agony. I loved how it allows for Snape’s mistakes, and how he tried to rectify them, in the end, emerging as a true hero.
It brought tears to my eyes ! An excellent attempt, indeed ! Thank you so much for this song !
W.O.W.
Severus’s wand totaly fits him, dark on the outside (ebony) and bright on the inside (unicorn hair)!!!
him, Draco and Luna are my faves
it was hAlarious when i first read it, i was in class and when he jumped through the window i yelled, hit the book and threw it at the wall. it was a library book. after being yelled at i picked it up and continued reading. i started balling when Seveus died…loudly. when not being able to tell ate teach why i had either reaction (i didn’t want to spoil, i wasn’t the only one reading the series) i was sent to the studenty counsaler. it was the only death i ever cried for, not even Dobby. i’m currently wrighting a Fan fic (actualy 2) about him and another chic (still loves lily but since he can have her…) and another about his daughter and Draco (severus doesn’t know she’s his ;-P).
sorry, it’s late.
THE teacher, not ATE teach
Student counselor, not studenty counsaler
writing, not wrighting
I just found out it’s Alex Carpenter on the bridge!
