    Antonia Michaelis
    “My child, I know you're not a child
    But I still see you running wild
    Between those flowering trees.
    Your sparkling dreams, your silver laugh
    Your wishes to the stars above
    Are just my memories.

    And in your eyes the ocean
    And in your eyes the sea
    The waters frozen over
    With your longing to be free.

    Yesterday you'd awoken
    To a world incredibly old.
    This is the age you are broken
    Or turned into gold.

    You had to kill this child, I know.
    To break the arrows and the bow
    To shed your skin and change.
    The trees are flowering no more
    There's blood upon the tiles floor
    This place is dark and strange.

    I see you standing in the storm
    Holding the curse of youth
    Each of you with your story
    Each of you with your truth.

    Some words will never be spoken
    Some stories will never be told.
    This is the age you are broken
    Or turned into gold.

    I didn't say the world was good.
    I hoped by now you understood
    Why I could never lie.
    I didn't promise you a thing.
    Don't ask my wintervoice for spring
    Just spread your wings and fly.

    Though in the hidden garden
    Down by the green green lane
    The plant of love grows next to
    The tree of hate and pain.

    So take my tears as a token.
    They'll keep you warm in the cold.
    This is the age you are broken
    Or turned into gold.

    You've lived too long among us
    To leave without a trace
    You've lived too short to understand
    A thing about this place.

    Some of you just sit there smoking
    And some are already sold.
    This is the age you are broken
    Or turned into gold.
    This is the age you are broken or turned into gold.”
    Antonia Michaelis, The Storyteller

    Steven Moffat
    “Demons run when a good man goes to war
    Night will fall and drown the sun
    When a good man goes to war

    Friendship dies and true love lies
    Night will fall and the dark will rise
    When a good man goes to war

    Demons run, but count the cost
    The battle's won, but the child is lost”
    Steven Moffat
