ISS-D Discipline

Intro

Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming

No transporters, just paper dreaming

Gold Key couldn't touch the show's own tales

So Kirk rode the page like a space cowboy's trail

Verse 1

Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue

Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too

DC let the beta-canon bloom

Monthly newsprint, ink that never fades

Pre-Chorus

They gave us faces never seen on screen

Fresh blood in the panels, wild and green

Every month a new world to redeem

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

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

Hands swapping keys through the nineties heat

Pre-Chorus

Every licensor left their own stamp

Every era carved its own lamp

One more name etched on the camp

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

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

Sacrifice too long, through Dominion haze

Dog of War barks through the silent haze

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

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

Mm, mm-hmm

Mm-mmm
