Intro
Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming
No transporters, just paper dreaming
Kirk drawn like a space cowboy in a Gold Key frame
Broadway readin' him sideways, got no show to claim
Verse 1
DC grabbed the license, finally own the sandbox
Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue
Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too
DC let the beta-canon bloom and the panels bloom
Pre-Chorus
Every page a first contact nobody ever saw
Every panel a new crew, no TV law
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with dagger, not a book, Troi never does what she's told
Terran Empire swing, do the Mirror War strut
Dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut
Verse 2
Malibu on the habitat ring, thirty-two issues deep
Marvel brought the cadets, Omega, Nog can't sleep
Pike on Talos IV, before Kirk took the seat
Half-time bass walkin' like syndication re-run beat
Pre-Chorus
Every issue a starbase nobody ever toured
Every cover a doorway to a future unsecured
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with dagger, not a book, Troi never does what she's told
Terran Empire swing, do the Mirror War strut
Dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut
Bridge
Odo's rain on level five, shape-shiftin' blue note minor
Quark's got a corgi in cargo bay, latinum collared liner
Fool's Gold glitters, but loyalty pays
Verse 3
Too Long a Sacrifice, dark days of the war
Chambers on promenade, shape-shiftin' at the door
Here, aboard the station where the spotlight's gone
Beta canon keeps the flame when the airwaves move on
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with dagger, not a book, Troi never does what she's told
Terran Empire swing, do the Mirror War strut
Dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut
Outro
From Gold Key to IDW, beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish, still feels like home
So spin it again, at Quark's after hours
Crackle on the vinyl, vibe like a power
