A Time Lord's Trial
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I might be the only time Lord here who's put on trial
You claim I try to interfere, think risk is worth the while
But are you all aware
That the scrapyard over there
Is wasting time and should lose his career
With the evidence he's compiled?
Exactly like the council did when I was on trial before
You say that I am guilty of transgressing the primary law
But surely you would
If it's for the greater good?
And yet you bring up memories that I must answer for
A time lord's trial is a farce; it's a disgrace
We're a corrupt, dishonest race
(O-oh, o-oh, o-oh) a time lord's trial
There's something very wrong with what is shown on ravalox
A string of lies; a noose around my neck to tie the knot
The things that we view
Are not entirely true
You claim I did these things
But in reality I did not
You say that I on thoros beta overstepped the line
But I say, madam inquisitor, the valeyard's wasting time
I cannot address
My carelessness
For all the valeyard's falsities are the only crime!
A time lord's trial is a farce; it's a disgrace
We're a corrupt, dishonest race
(O-oh, o-oh, o-oh) a time lord's trial
This is all nonsensical; peri is my friend
I've enough love in my hearts to feel a pang of guilt
If she had truly met her end
And yet I see her in the matrix right before my eyes
Did I really miss my chance to say goodbye?
And even when, as you can see, young mel is by my side
The boneyard has the audacity to accuse me of genocide!
It cannot be cruel
To disobey the rules
When the vervoids would have destroyed the earth
And everything else besides
I sense there's something hiding which the valeyard will not say
Within the inky blackness of my future gone astray
I'm resolute
He can't prosecute
When he and I on either side are really one and the same
He's tampered with the matrix so that all it shares is lies
This evil plan is so corrupt, the master's on my side!
To you I say
I won't let him get away
I left to fight evil; I should have stayed
Now that this has come to light!
A time lord's trial is a farce; it's a disgrace
We're a corrupt, dishonest race
(O-oh, o-oh, o-oh) a time lord's trial
A time lord's trial
