Mirror War Strut

Intro - Spoken, Half-Sung

Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming

No transporters, just paper dreaming

Kirk on a horse, holster by his hip

Gold Key couldn't touch a single script

Verse 1

Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue

Chu-Sa chirping triage

Konom growling Qapla' too

DC let the beta-canon bloom

Bernie the Klingon

Roaming in the room

Pre-Chorus

Every panel a starbase

Every inker a new face

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 and Nog can't sleep

Pike on Talos IV, before Kirk took the seat

Old guard and new blood, trading stations down the street

Pre-Chorus

Every contract a new star

Every page a brand new war

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

The Dog of War barks through the haze

Solo - 16 Bars

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

Blue note burnin' till the final hour
