O CAPTAIN! My Captain, our five-year trip is o'er.
This ship has boldly gone where no man's ever gone before
Earth Base is near, the people here all ready to receive us
But here upon the Enterprise, the damage done is grievous
O, heart, heart, heart
O the bleeding drops of red!
For on Deck 5 my engines lie
Fallen cold and dead!
O Captain, my Captain, the ship's a downright mess!
Even at a space dock this would take a month, no less!
When we escaped the Klingons, barely got out with our lives,
We overworked the engines, pushed them into overdrive
Me ship, she could nae take no more
The engines turned to lead!
All the warp engines went offline
They've fallen cold and dead!
The helm, she does not answer, if she's even still intact,
We'll never hold an orbit if we ever make it back!
"I'll give you forward thrusters
But give me more time!" I said
For down below me engines lie
Fallen cold and dead!
