Song (Overture)

Though it was thought of as having Romanian Gypsy origins, the unnamed song was actually accidentally brought through the Cardiff Rift by an unnamed species. It became infamous on Earth for making everyone who sang it commit suicide.

When a club singer sang the song on the night of 7 August 1941, "sleepers" of the unnamed species awoke and began attacking everyone in sight. After leading them into the Torchwood Hub, Jack Harkness' singing of the song — which was, according to the Commodore pitch-perfect — made the aliens explode through sonic power, leaving nothing but pools of blood.

Its lyrics included:


 * Sorrow of Monday
 * In darkness, I thought of you
 * My soul alone decides to take the journey,
 * And soon they'll be tears.
