Stars (As sung by Quirrel -- original song by Victor Hugo) by royishere published on 2013-07-26T23:53:47Z A filk of "Stars" from Les Mis, sung by Professor Quirrel from Eliezer Yudkowsky's "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality". SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 89. Image by Zerinity on DeviantArt. Lyrics were requested, so here goes! Somewhere in the future Something is causing Pressures in Time Where have I erred? What have I started? The end of the world But the boy would not dare No, the boy would not dare His resolution is strong The boy is starting to learn But have I pushed him too far or too fast? Is it too late to turn? For if we fall if Atlantis fell The world shall burn. Stars Blazing in Heaven Untouched by mankind Symbols of peace The stars know no war No chaos of battle So I once thought But I can't anymore No, I can't anymore There are great powers unknown Powers best kept locked away And by men they were sealed But by folly of man do their seals decay And we shall fall as Atlantis fell If led astray Is destiny formed? Is destiny written? Do we stand at oblivion? Or can I shunt his resolve off-course And spare our sun? No hesitation Lest the boy's methods Spread beyond Mars! I'll do what I can For those, I'll not lose I'll not forfeit the stars! Genre Classical Comment by shineypurpletimelord Awesome! My two favorite things- Les Mis and MoR- in one! However, I feel obligated to point out that the original music is by Claude-Michel Schönberg with the original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and the English translation by Herbert Kretzmer. The book Les Misérables is by Victor Hugo. 2013-08-24T20:56:01Z Comment by Omar Streete I wish I could read the lyrics! 2013-08-20T02:38:53Z
