theatrical muse 430

Put your work aside, now
For the night is deep,
Stars patrol the Heavens,
Time enough to sleep.

Darkness breathes a night scent
Blowing out the day
Turn from that computer
nightime is for play.

(Time enough for sorrow
Time enough for pain
When the bright day’s dawning,
Lights the world again.)

Now the night has fallen
See the stars look down,
Can you hear the music
Drifting from the town?

Listen to the music
Listen to the beat,
Is there something there that
Makes you tap your feet?

If you hate the path you’ve
Danced along too long,
Turn and find another
You can change your song

If the road you follow,
Leads too near the crypt,
Turn and find another,
You can change your script.

Now it’s almost midnight
Stories haven’t lied
Midnight is the time
That I leave with my bride.

Comes the final curtain,
When we dance away,
There’s my happy ending,
Come with the new day.

Theatrical Muse 457; what does your voice sound like?

The whole Team knew that the portals were going crazy and rumours were running wild, but the Operative seemed cheerful enough as the Minions started to move the equipment out. He was singing to himself as he checked his latest look in the mirror while he practiced his steps.

(An old Minion claimed that someone told the Master that it would reassure a potential Queen if he danced for her - after all, it’s not something that an enemy would do. It could be true, but nobody has ever heard him sing about that.)

“Have you got my Talisman?
Did you call me here?
Wear the gem and sing the song
And wait till I am near.

I have had a hundred names,
Are you singing one?
Wear the gem and sing the song,
And I might even come.”

The song stopped as the Group headed for the portal. Gigs were a serious business and this one had several targets. Some of those fires would be burning bright, before the end.

You can say what you like about the Operative’s voice. Some dislike it; some sing its praises - but there’s one thing that's always true.

Sometimes he has a voice to die for.
