I Ain’t the Doctor Any More – Silver-Stargazing

silver-stargazing:

I just re-watched “The Day of the Doctor” for the first time in years and found that I really liked the War Doctor on a second watch.

I noticed there really hasn’t been much fan work about this sad old soldier since the 50th Anniversary special so here’s a filk song dedicated to Captain Grumpy set to the tune of “I Ain’t Marching Anymore”.

Lyrics under the cut:

Oh, I died on the planet of Karn long ago
In the midst of the Great Time War
Well, I regenerated but I knew that it was fated
That I ain’t the Doctor anymoreSo I became a warrior for my own kind
This fight was something I could not ignore
I battled with those Daleks and I did so with the knowledge
That I ain’t the Doctor anymore

Chorus:
But the Universe may not survive this war
The damage is far too vast
Look at all we’ve done with our Tardises and guns
Gallifrey may fall at last

For I marched our soldiers down many front lines
And watched the Daleks kill the score
I saw many soldiers dying and I heard those children crying
But I ain’t the Doctor anymore

For I marched down the plains of old Skaro
And fired shots that started this Great War
But I couldn’t kill those demons and that’s another reason
Why I ain’t the Doctor anymore

(Chorus)

Oh, my people will condemn all of space and time
Sanity, they do ignore
So I must take this moment and I will not seek atonement
‘Cause I ain’t the Doctor anymore

No, I ain’t the Doctor anymore…
