We came first among the gods of Time
Sing Rose
Sing Rose
Sing Rose
Sing of all her briars in the Night
Of golden eyes and golden light
Of the devils' might
Of the dust that falls
It's all that's left
They're dying
They're insane
They're dead
Look at the dust floating round your head
Who's afraid of the big Bad Wolf?
Who's afraid for the big Bad Wolf?
All the power
In all the Worlds
Couldn't save them both
And so he died
To fulfill an oath
The Lord died for his goddess
And they left
As new man
And girl, no longer goddess
(Never mind who they left behind
A Captain in a lonely Time)
But who could say
Even then
That Bad Wolf wouldn't strike again
There was a far off land
Where she would stay
And the Lord would leave
And mourn until this day
He would grieve
Singing Rose,
Singing Rose,
Singing Rose,
Why did you ever go away?
Bad Wolf's briars
Poke and prick
Far and reaching—
Even when he dies again
He always will wonder when
He had forgotten how long it's been
This time he doesn't want to go
Though the Song comes to an end
The Bad Wolf never shows
And to the Darkness
The Time Lord Goes.
