My friend Chris and I were joking around (he's a Trekkie, I'm just a NINnie), and we thought up something: Deep Space NIN...or Deep Space Nine Inch Nails. A Star Trek soundtrack would be cool, no? Of course, using that specific show would be too obscure for most people...so, the songs would just be about Trek in general. Here's my first crack at it:

heresy (spock)

he sewed his heart shut
because he is afraid to see
his Vulcan logic
was imposed on you and me

a Vulcan mindmeld
destroyed my curiosity
it brought my hatred
out for everyone to see

Spock is dead
and no one cares
his body's on Vulcan
I'll see you there

(guitars)

he flexed his brain cells
to keep the Enterprise in line
he had pointy ears
that were unlike yours and mine

his perfect spaceship
of logic is just insane
it demands devotion
world-saving done in his name

Spock is dead
and no one cares
his body's on Vulcan
I'll see you there

(your Spock is dead)
and no one cares
(drowning in his own emotionlessness)
his body's on Vulcan
I'll see you there

burning with Spock on the Enterprise
will Kirk die for this?
