Wheel Turns, Civilisations Rise.....

....Wheel Turns, Civilisations Fall

Big Wheel, Keep on Turning,

Proud Mary, keep on burnin'.

Rollin' (rollin'),
Rollin' (rollin'),

Rollin' on The River.......

Perfect10 : 

You know, I loved being you. 

Back when I first started at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important.

Like you do, when you're young.

And then I was you. 

And I was all dashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shout, I still do that! 

The voice thing, I got that from you! 

Oh!

[shows trainers]

Perfect10 : 

And the trainers and...

[puts on glasses]

Perfect10 : 

Snap. 

Because you know what, Doctor? 

You were my Doctor.

The Choirboy : 

To days to come.

Perfect10 : 

All my love to long ago.

PANNA:

 It is all beginning again. 

The Choirboy :  

What is? 

PANNA: 

What is? What is? 
History is, you male fool. 

History is. Time is. 

The Great Wheel will begin to roll down the hill gathering speed through the centuries, crushing everything in its path. 
Unstoppable until once again....

TODD: 

Until? 

PANNA: 

I must show you. 
That is why you have been brought here. 

Then perhaps when you understand, you will go away and leave us in peace. 
If it is not already too late. 

The Choirboy : 

You said once again. 

PANNA: 

Of course. 

Wheel turns, civilisations arise, 

wheel turns, civilisations fall. 

The Choirboy : 

And I suppose this happens many times. 

PANNA: 

Of course. 

Wherever the wheel turns, there is suffering, delusion and death. 

That much should be clear, even to an idiot. 

Now stop babbling and get ready. 

(Karuna, The Choirboy and Todd sit on the floor.) 

PANNA: 

Are they seated? 

KARUNA: 

Yes.

PANNA: (chants) 

Wheel turns. 

PANNA: 

It is the Mara who now turn the wheel. 

It is the Mara who dance to the music of our despair. 

Our suffering is the Mara's delight, 

our madness the Mara's meat and drink. 

And now He has returned...

PANNA: 

And now the Mara turns the wheel of life. 

It ends as it begins. 

Pass through. 

You must pass through. 

TODD: 

Look, was what we just saw the future or the past? 

DOCTOR: 

Both.
