Who Wants To Live Forever?
There's no time for us.
I am a Time Lord. I have no time.
There's no place for us.
My home is gone. Destroyed. Lost in Time.
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
Yet slips away from us?
It's Time. In my life, everything comes back to Time.
I have a longer time than others, but that's what makes it hurt so much more. I could imagine, just for a moment, that I could live a normal life. No danger, no pain, no loss. But then Time comes crashing down on me, and I remember.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
I don't. It is the curse of the Time Lord to watch our loved one's age and die, knowing that we must go on. Even though it's not forever that we live for, it feels like it.
There's no chance for us.
It's all decided for us.
Time is in a constant state of flux, but that doesn't change the facts.
It's not like the timelines set in concrete in a museum. It's more like pieces of paper, lists of choices and events, lined up in a pool. Just one small ripple can change the order of that line.
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us.
Even the extended life of a Time Lord will eventually end.
Even that life is but a sigh in the whole of Time.
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever,
When love must die.
I will never forget them, no matter how much I freeze the memories. The guilt. The pain.
I will always love them. I will never forget who they are, what they did, and most of all, how brilliant they were.
But touch my tears
With your lips.
The memories are painful, and they aren't there to share.
Touch my world
With your finger tips.
Almost no one can understand the feeling, what it is like to live my life, because most of the people who could have known are gone. I lost them.
And we can have forever.
And we can love forever.
Forever is our today.
Travelling through Time, the Heart of the TARDIS glowing, this is forever, before I settle somewhere.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today.
There are humans who strive to be immortal. I've never understood the desire. But then, I've lived closer to forever than they ever could. But they are impatient. I often feel that I need to ask them:
"Who waits forever anyway?"
