Last Words

I've walked the earth, I've seen the sky

There are no stars out there tonight

I can't deny that that's a shame

But I have to fight this change

Because I'm weary of these journeys

Of endless self-discovery

I've done it thirteen times now

There's no need for me to try now

I'm content with who I have been

I'm you - the original, you might say

I'm the one who ran away

From a cloistered life on gallifrey

I'm not prepared to face this day

I will not change

I don't like it

No, I don't like it!

I sense there's someone new

Just waiting to come through

Do I let them? That you're here implies I will do

If I am number one, and you are number twelve

Put us together, we might see thirteen today as well

For me to get to you, we've done this many times before

Remember them - is all this what you really want to die for?

Because something, someone new is on the way

Sometime, somehow, you will have to die

But not today!

Too young! Too old! Too fat! Too thin!

I refuse to be treated in -

Wait, stop! I've the right to choose what I look like

You're making me giddy! Number two's feeling giddy!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

There's more to life than living it

Where there's life there's (hope, my dear) - do I see a tear

Sarah jane? Don't cry

Number three has faced his fear

All

Something, someone new is on the way

Sometime, somehow, you will have to die

But not today!

I see the watcher watching me

As I face my destiny

Nyssa, adric, tegan, gather round

The place where I have hit the ground

This is the end for number four

But the moment has been prepared for

Is this death? Is this the end?

My life cannot take precedence over that of a friend

Is it time? Goodbye to number five?

I might regenerate but it feels different this time

All

Something, someone new is on the way

Sometime, somehow, you will have to die

But not today!

An unlucky number is thirteen

Number six knows who lurks in the space between

Our twelfth and final forms - if the master got it right

I've had a good innings, all those lives I've lived

I hope the footprint that I leave

Will be apposite, apposite, apposite, but light

See number seven vanquished by a random twist of fate

Please stop the master's ashes, quickly, before it's too late

Please listen, I'm not human!

You're a hinderance, not a help

No, no, please, stop - I've got two hearts!

You're putting me through hell!

Physician, heal thyself

(Number eight's last act of war)

Make me a warrior

(The universe needs healers no more)

Friends and companions that I've known

Forgive me, please

The time war ends with me!

War

The time war ends with me!

And I end with the war

I'm the doctor again, but I cannot be the man I was before

I'm wearing a bit thin

It all makes sense, of course

I only hope the ears next time are less conspicuous!

All

Time lords have this little trick

Rose tyler, you've been fantastic

And you know what? So was I

So was number nine

I don't want to go

I don't want to go

But I know it has to end this way

As some new man saunters away

There's no escaping this again

Vale Decem, farewell to number ten

It's time to break the science

It's time to break the law

Because now number eleven is rebelling once more

Remember where you've come from

And everyone you've been

I will always remember when the Doctor was me

Though you don't want to go

Remember everyone you've been

You've been so fantastic

War

But now you're wearing a bit thin

So physician, heal thyself

Trust no one else to do it

You've had a good innings

Keep your footprint light but apposite

It'll be different this time

But the moment has been prepared for

So face your fear!

Dear, oh, dear!

Doctor number twelve, it's far from over

(It's far from being all over)

You say you're not a good man

Well, thirteen disagrees

No man could replace you

That's why you'll become me

All

It's far from over
