There has been a [[Chorister]] singing this endless song for generations. Others in the audience hold up offerings, gifts of sentimental value, to feed the Old God.

As Merry won't leave, we find that the Doctor can't do anything other than hold the door up. Merry won't leave, as she believes that it is her fault the Old God is waking, and she doesn't believe Clara anymore because Clara was wrong. Now the Old God will eat their souls. She [[telekinetic]]ally pins Clara to the glass around the Old God, and then says that he doesn't want Clara, he wants her, but if the others don't leave the God will eat them too.
