The Key

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!
