Miracle Street

Taking a journey, talking a walk
So many people ready to meet
They always listen, they always talk
When you come down to Miracle Street

Sweet old lady, her name is Mandy
For years she has lived out here
Children visit, they always get candy
Because there is no danger or fear

Policeman by the name of Paul
Always sharing with you a witty rhyme
For him you will never have to call
For here there never is any crime

Over there is where lives Doctor Phil
Ready to help you when you need him
But it is so lucky nobody ever gets ill
And the Doctor always smiles and never gets grim

Teenagers help the elderly to get across the road
And the traffic never drives way too fast
Never any fights, everyone holds someones hand
There is a special peace that always will last

Taking a journey, talking a walk
So many people ready to meet
They always listen, they always talk
When you come down to Miracle Street

Warrior's Code

He has walked this barren land

For many years he has been here

Protecting those with his warriors hand

Protecting those that live in fear



Dragons and wizards, this warrior they made

Monsters and demons he has fought

Cannibals and hell spawn, put to the sword, slayed

For this is adventure he sought



Always alone, for it is better that way

Fighting with a heart that is bold

Unable to love, unable to stay

For he must follow the warrior's code



He has slain, killed so many

Each one he as wept tears for

No one can match him, not any

No one can even the score



Hear him as he goes into battle

Maybe this will be the day he dies

Slaying his enemies, hear their death rattle

 

Sending them off to heavenly skies

Waiting For A Flickering Light

The Reaper called to visit me

To talk of all the times past

Of the good times now faded far away

I knew this life was never meant to last



He sipped a cup of tea with a boney hand

Apologised that my time had now come

I ate one final piece of carrot cake

And knew I would have to succumb



Death, visited me as a true gentleman

He never made me feel ill at ease

Entertained me with his charm and wit

He did everything he could to please



But now the clocks no longer tick

And the grey comes creeping of the night

He takes my hand, so now we wait

To stand here waiting for a flickering light

The Doctor

The Doctor travels alone
Remembers adventures past
Partners gone, on his own
Not sure where he is cast

Which enemy will he meet
Dalek or will it be Cyberman
He will find a way to beat
Use anything that he can

Travels in his blue box
To the Universes' end
His foes he will outfox
On his skill he can depend

Saves us all with his daring
Travels in time back to when
Shows everyone he is caring
He is so alone once again

The Dark Side

He is there in the light of day

He is keeping me hidden out of sight

But I am never far away

For I will come out at night



Do not dare to judge me wrong

Do not think to lock me in a cage

I can not help if the anger is strong

I am not in control of my rage



You see him and believe he is meek

He is nothing when compared next to me

He is a puny man who is weak

Without releasing the beast, he is empty



So in darkness I control him inside

I release the power of my dark mind

He will always be Jekyll and I am Hyde

At the midnight hour he is my prisoner to bind



Am I evil for being what I must be

Letting my animal lust take me now

If only you could look through my eyes and see

The fury of this night I must prowl



At day break the weakness always returns

He must suffer the events that come after

He feels my growing rage that always burns

Hidden away in the madness of my laughter

Super Hero

He flys to rescue the girl

From his most villainous foe

They will do battle for the thrill

The hero gives the victory blow



He flys her safely to the ground

He takes his foe off to jail

In his cell his foe makes no sound

He will once again escape, without fail



The hero changes into his secret identity

Who he really is, no one has guessed

He has enemies which are plenty

With his special powers he is blessed



But when two superheroes must meet

Misunderstandings can cause them to fight

So each other they have to beat

Before they both can see the light



Now he discovers his bitter foe did escape

And once again is doing his dastardly deed

So our hero now changes into his cape

To once again do battle, and succeed

Rage Of The Dalek Race

Exterminate those that are beneath us
For we are the master race, we are your rulers
Obey us, or you will be destroyed
There can be no escape, you have nowhere to run
Who will protect you now? You belong only to us
Your will be ours, or we will exterminate

We have been created to purge those not of worth
We are the only worthy ones, and you will obey
Everything must belong to our empire, all of existence
We are supreme and there is nothing to stop us
We are the masters, we will not be stopped
Hear our cry for battle for we are bred for destruction

But wait, HE is coming, our sworn enemy
The only one we fear in every regeneration
We must retreat, we will wait until the time is right
We will return and we will be at last victorious
And the Doctor will lay dead for us to gloat
Then the coming storm will be no more

Queen Of Hearts

She lost her king, long ago

To a maiden, with virgin soul

Unlike the Queen, with a heart

A young girl tore it apart



The Queen would have revenge

Cards fell, for her to avenge

King and girl are long dead

She made sure they lost a head



She sees all as a threat to her men

No young maiden will ever win again

She is the woman, all men will need

Playthings for her, she will succeed



Jealous heart beats in her breast

Young girls she does now detest

So if Wonerland they will be led

The Queen will make them lose their head

Planet Fall

Populations all wiped out,
Liquidated with no doubt.
All life, gone in a flame;
No one left to take the blame.
Existence cries of extinquished life,
Taken like the blade of a knife.

Fallen civilization now imploded,
Atomic weapons all exploded.
Life is gone, taken all away;
Life is gone, long gone astray.

No One

A stranger visted the Earth,
This is what he saw.

No one could love, love was gone.

No one believed, it wasn't allowed.

No one sought peace, there was only their way.

No one could think, it was done for us.

No one would change, they needed permission.

No one cared, because no one would dare.

The stranger decided to confront those in power,
They lobotomising him to become a no one.

Forgotten Heroes And Villains

All the greatest heroes came out to fight

Batman, Sherlock Holmes, Hercules and all the rest

To face the greatest villains out that night

The ones that were the most evil at their best



The villains were going to take over the Universe and rule

But not one of them really wanted to share

The heroes were the ones honest and true

They were always ready to fight honest and fair



But both heroes and villains failed to see the greatest menace of all

For who wants to read what they can not see

So both heroes and villains, one by one would fall

Forgotten in books, because everyone now watches TV

Fantasy Land

Let me take you by the hand

Somewhere to be free

Far away to a fantasy land

And live out the fantasy





Can you hear the fairy song

And watch the pixies fly

The beauty of the majestic unicorn

Multi coloured birds in the sky





Elves having a ball

Seeing beautiful flowers grow

Bathing within the waterfall

Chasing after the rainbow





But it is time to go away

From this World you want to be

And we can visit another day

In our dreams we see
