The Sound of Drums

Can you hear them?
They’re coming
They’re in the signal
They’re in my head

Is it only me?
Am the only one to be called?
This pounding in my ears
Is calling me to rule the world

Rule the universe
As the Master of your fate
Can you hear the drums?
Don’t try to fight them, it’s too late

Each time lord child
Approaches the eye
Forced to behold the vortex
To be inspired or run
But as I gazed into the vastness of time
I heard the sound of drums

Can you hear them?
They’re coming
They’re in the signal
They’re in my head

Can you hear them?
They’re coming
They’re in the signal
They’re in my head

In professor’s guise
Oh, Doctor, Doctor
You have healed me
You are not alone
It took you far too long to see me

Now I lay in your arms
Mortally wounded in your care
I’ll leave you here forever
Last of the timelords once again

(Don’t leave me now
Think of all we’ve done together
Think of all the vanquished foes
Think of all that we could be)

It would be hell for me
Imprisoned here forever
With you

(No, please! You’ve got to, please!
We’re the only ones left!
Please just… Regenerate!)

Can you hear them?
(In my dreams they’re calling)
They’re coming
(And every waking moment)
They’re in the signal
(I hear the vortex calling)
They’re in my head

Can you hear them?
(I hear the sound)
They’re coming
(The sound of drums)
They’re in the signal
They’re in my head
