The River Song Songtext
von Cog

His life had become perpetually incomplete
There was always something missing
Seventy-three percent of the population were involved
In some form of recall stabilization program
To compensate for unquantifiable consciousness anomalies
Unlike most people, he knew exactly where he′d find the answers
For fourteen years he had lived and worked inside the ironic layer
Outside the Mandalay Belt, some six hundred miles from the source

He'd always known that the forbidden zone had been just that
Forbidden
And yet he could contain his curiosity no longer
There would be no more internalized debates
The decision had been made
He would enter the forbidden zone


I know you will say
That your time here is short and you will pay
To wait all day
For the chance to arrive is too late
By the time I arrive here ready to begin
I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I
I′m on my own
I'm on my

What he witnessed from the edge of the escarpment was incomprehensible
And yet it made perfect sense
A euphoric wave rushed through his mind
Affecting every thought and emotion he had ever experienced
A thousand realizations so perplexing they
Tore at the fabric of consciousness itself
It was a reality that could not possibly exist
The fight for his mind had begun

I know you will say
That your time here is short and you will pay
To wait all day
For the chance to arrive is too late
By the time I arrive here ready to begin
I will say


You are on your own again
You are on your own again
You are on
You are on your own again
Killing time
You are on your own again
Killing time
