The last of the “Wrath of Khan” filk trilogy by Julia Ecklar
Born Again Trek
Lyrics and music by Julia Ecklar
I was with the Midwest crowd who
Stood in line for blocks
I cheered on the Reliant’s end
And I shed a tear for Spock
But… we talked for three days running
Of how Khan did push his luck-
(And what are we?)
And I am saved, I am saved, I am saved!
For the IDIC’s still the way to god, Spock’s still logical of course
And we’ve still got full made phasers, so tell me, who needs the Force?
And if Spock thinks he is the one with debonair and class
We’ll just tell him we’ve got Admiral Kirk, who still has a gorgeous- rank
And I am born again, I am born again!
Proud of my ship and all the men within
And I know again, Trek fandom has been born again
Thank Genesis, and Meyer and the fen.
So spread the word throughout the land, we know that Spock’s not dead
An if they will not bring him back we’ll make Con films instead
Dave and Saavik can co-star, and Kirk can tag behind
And even the bridge crew can come, because this time they got lines…
And they’re born again, we are born again!
It’s time to show those Jedi where we stand!
Sixteen years it’s been, but now Trek has been born again
And I’m proud to be a born again Trek fan!
Now it’s our solemn duty to see that everyone’s been saved
If Surak thought he had it rough, he ought to live today
But oh, Great Bird, please hear our prayer, guide our Trek on its course
We’ll make the whole world follow Trek- and if we must, use Force
Oh, born again, we are born again
We’re proud of Starfleet’s finest, yes indeed!
And I know again, my faith in Trek is born again
The final frontier calls again to me
And the legends will live on eternally
