The Creeds of Cowards
(A TROK song about the Daleks from the Doctor Who series)

Verse 1A
Locked in a tactical stalemate
With a Movellan war-fleet.
As my Dalekanium is permeated by viral spores,
I recall the legends of civil war and Time Lords

Chemical warfare, mutated offspring (Skaro, Skaro, Skaro)
Hand of Omega, tool of betrayal
Cataclysmic racial cleansing
Self righteous bringer of darkness
We shall find you, kill you
Thousand year war of attrition,
Blood stained, the soil of Darren

Verse 1B
Genocidal Thal agression
Has left my homeland void of life
A thousand years of Thal oppression
The seeds of my eternal spite

Arising from disfigured corpses
Are screams of pain on Skaro’s shores
Half-dead remnants, of failed human experiments

Pre-Chorus 1

To repropagate, our children sacrificed to war
To emancipate, genetically mutated spores
Eternal refugees, we live to rebuild again
Until Skaro’s rebirth, this bloodshed will never end

Chorus 1
Through the corridors of time
To 76 Totter’s Lane
To war with fate
Erase our past future mistakes
To save all Kaled kind
From the Great War
I race to pervade, enemy enslaved
Shoreditch teenage minds

Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy


Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy

Verse 2A

I’ve become one with the enemy’s mind
I’ve seen the entirety of space and time
I have heard the echos of the Cloister Bell chimes
The children will gather, and one shall die

I’ve seen the arrival of the three fold man
Lone Dalek assassin, shadow-clad van
Death, regeneration Torchwood hand
Pawns of the time matrix under my command
Sacrificed sanity at asylum’s gate
I now turn Judas to my own race

From my last moments on the Crucible prison floor
I recall the legends of civil war and time lords

Verse 2B

From the campaign of the Monstrons
To the frozen plains of Spiridon
Our Kaled troops bled valiantly
Died nobly in victory
Allege to your decided fate
Or we shall not hesitate
To methodically exterminate
Your inferior, pathetic race

Pre-Chorus 2
Marvel at the brutality
Of the Neo Mark III Calvary
Galactic battlefield efficient
Engineered depraved indifference
With the last time lord exterminated
We shall be repatriated
Reality bomb reinstated
Launch sequence initiated


Chorus 2
Through the corridors of time
To 76 Trotter’s Lane
To war with fate
Erase our past future mistakes
To save all Kaled kind
From the Great War
I race to pervade, enemy enslaved
Shoreditch teenage minds

Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy

Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy


Solo

Until Skaro’s rebirth, this bloodshed shall never end

Chorus 3
Through the corridors of time
To 76 Totter’s Lane
To war with fate
Erase our past future mistakes
To save all Kaled kind
From the Great War
I race to pervade, enemy enslaved
Shoreditch teenage minds


Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy

Freedom, fairness, creeds of cowards
Scourge of our society
Weak and useless purged and scoured
One eugenic monarchy
