	I hear her footsteps running towards me down the hall
	And by the lantern light I see her body fall
	She reaches out to me, the Ward Key in her hand
	She speaks to me in noises I don’t understand
	The key that taunted me, the key that drove me mad
	The key that murdered any freedom I once had
	Is offered to me know, can this be but a dream?
	My trance is broken by this woman’s dying scream
	The key now in my hand from Quarantine I race
	And when I reach the landing every ghostly face
	Is waiting for me there commanding me to RUN
	The walls are lifting, lockdown’s already begun
	The staircase shatters as my fate I fly to meet
	The wood is splintering beneath my stocking feet
	At last I’m past the gate, at last I’m at the cell
	That’s kept me from the sun and hidden me in Hell
	The key that locked us in is now what sets us free
	The inmates have emerged and now they look to me
	To lead them to the light, to lead them to the door
	But as we flee I trip and fall down to the floor
	Now, as I hit the ground, as painfully I land
	The key for which I’ve waited years shoots from my hand
	Then, quick as lightning strikes, the Doctor’s heavy shoe
	Comes down upon the key concealing it from view
	His eyes are burning red with madness, this is when
	He picks it up and turns to lock us in again
	I leap upon him for I’ve nothing left to lose
	He overpowers me and asks the girls to choose
	He runs his blade across my throat as if to say
	That he will take my life if they don’t walk away
	Retreat they do at once, without a second thought
	They only know that we were free and now we’re not
	And then I feel my darling Annie’s Master Key
	From all those years ago, still tied above my knee
	It glows against my skin but doesn’t cause me pain
	What happens next I cannot possibly explain
	It pulls me from the floor, it pulls me towards the gate
	It fits into the lock and every last inmate
	Is breathless as the bars swing open with a creak
	And no one’s seen to move, and no one’s heard to speak
	Then, all at once, the clock from fifty floors below
	Is loudly striking four, and suddenly I know
	What must be done – there can be no one left alive
	The Doctor’s all must die if we are to survive
	It’s Time to show our strength
	It’s Time that we unite
	It’s Time to change the game
	It’s Time we learn to fight
	It’s Time this house is ours
	It’s Time we take it back
	It’s Time for bloody war
	IT’S TIME FOR THE ATTACK!
