By William Shaw

Fugitive of the Judoon

The glass is broken;

The box, unburied. Today

The Doctor is born.

You’re no universe.

Only the strongest survive

To become like us.

Ascension is mine!

The cathedral walls echo

With metallic screams.

A Timeless Hybrid

Can be the world’s foundation

And its undoing.
