&ldquo;Demons run when a good man goes to war<br /> Night will fall and drown the sun<br /> When a good man goes to war<br /> <br /> Friendship dies and true love lies<br /> Night will fall and the dark will rise<br /> When a good man goes to war<br /> <br /> Demons run, but count the cost<br /> The battle&#039;s won, but the child is lost&rdquo; <br /> ― Steven Moffat
