THE DOCTOR

It does not yield - An unceasing wall

Archive of wealth, knowledge and death

Tempting the eager and weaker me

I don't even care to resist

THE SURGICAL TEAM

Can a child understand this kind of pain?

That inflicting it is really, the only way?

“Strange men surround and bound my limbs

A blur I hope that will end in my death”

THE DOCTOR

Denied the gates to the final frontier

The temptation to supersede prevails

Boundlessly contriving a way to access

The beguiling knowledge deep within

THE SURGICAL TEAM

Restrain the child and remove her bones

Enhance the mind to withstand the pain

At seven years old we create the slave

Implanted consensus ours to control

THE DOCTOR

A sharp external pain

Penetrates the flesh

“Blood removal process”

Set to begin

Impoverished concepts

Drowned in a haze

Is it so unlikely that she will remember this pain?

Denied the gates to the final frontier

The temptation to supersede prevails

Obsessively plotting to one day possess

The enticing knowledge lying within

THE SURGICAL TEAM

Restrain the child and remove the veins

Enhance the mind to withstand her pain

At seven years old we create the slave

Implanted consensus ours to control

ELIZABETH NORTH

Carbonized skeleton

Cyberized synapse points

Digital camera eyes

Image now realized

Artificial heart and blood

Imbuing life into this one

Awakening to my padded cell

Told to trust the words of these strange men

A terrified and pained little girl

Unable to remember who I am

ELIZABETH & THE DOCTOR

In the aftermath of an eternity

I feel something inside

I attempt to suppress

The incommodious in me

ELIZABETH & THE SURGICAL TEAM

My lungs draw air but I do not breathe

My eyes but for moments, ever open

Tired muscles I cannot contract

I have become living death
