Pain of the Drums
It's been hundreds of years
Since he looked into the Eye,
Forced to behold
All of space and time.
It opened his mind
And it let in the drums
Ignorant of the monster
They'd make him become.
The never-ending throb
Is a call to war,
Making him find delight in
Pain, death, chaos, gore.
The drums seem to pound
A hole in his skull,
But he cannot resist
Their bloodthirsty pull.
His only hope now
Is a long lost friend;
The only one he yet knows of
Who can make the pain end.
The Doctor, his enemy,
The one man he still fears,
Is the last Time Lord alive
Who can still dry his tears.
