Frakkin' Fire

Intro

Mm-hmm

Mm-mm-mm

Verse 1

Well they printed it first in '78 magazine size

Marvel Super Special #8 Saga of a Star World before your eyes

Then twenty-three issues monthly '79 to '81

McKenzie writin' Simonson drawin' till the story was done

It went cold then Maximum lit up in July '95

Rob Liefeld Richard Hatch bringin' the fleet alive

War of Eden trade paper in December four books strong

Realm tried to keep the light in '98 then it was gone

Pre-Chorus

Since 2006 Dynamite holds the charter

Classic and reimagined both on the same altar

Keepin' that frakkin' fire burnin' through the years

Chorus

Ohhhhh driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Post-Chorus

Frakkin' fire burnin' low

Burnin' low

Frakkin' fire

Verse 2

Commander Adama stretched out in cosmic haze

From issue six to twelve dreamin' Kobol scriptures through the maze

His boy Apollo took the chair in later years

Leadin' us toward Earth in Maximum's fears

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to Eurayle just to save the fleet

Left behind on Scavenger World no way back

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Pre-Chorus

Jolly the quiet one who finally found the end

Coordinates for Earth they never showed on TV

Baltar grinnin' with Lucifer at his side

Count Iblis with the devil eyes wide

Chorus

Ohhhhh driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Post-Chorus

Frakkin' fire burnin' low

Burnin' low down

Verse 3

War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

Seraphs bring the Pegasus and Cain across

Adama finally dies in that cosmic wrack

Then Abnett came with Death of Apollo ten years out

Fleet thought the war was through no doubt

But a voice from the past a twist of fate

Drags Galactica back into the blue

Bridge

Yeah Marvel couldn't use nothin' after Lost Planet of the Gods

So they made their own Kobol

Realm did Season 2 Season 3 three issues and static

Dynamite gave us both continuities same hash pipe

Final Chorus

So pass me the charts to Earth I can't read the stars

We're lost on the flip side with two Vipers and three bars

Adama's dreamin' Apollo's dyin' Starbuck's always leavin'

But the comics keep the fleet alive every time we stop believin'

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Light it up let the Tylium burn low

So say we all in slow-mo
