THE SPIRIT OF CAMELOT
Back many, many centuries
When life was in the dark,
One man had a special vision
That lit a fiery spark.
King Arthur was that man -
The vision, The Round Table,
When gallant men whate'er their creed
Who were pure, and strong, and able,
United as one family
To fight for justice and the right
And that special vision of justice
Shone brightly, day and night;
Shone clearly to us down the centuries
Through myth and legend and story
So that all mankind whoe'er they be
Would be inspired by the life and the glory.
Star Trek is our future Camelot,
Peopled with a king, magician and knights
For 'Excalibur' read 'Enterprise' -
The tool to change wrongs to rights;
King Arthur is Gene Roddenberry,
The man with that special vision;
And Lancelot must be James T Kirk,
Fulfilling his duties with precision.
And who do you think is Merlin?
Why, Mr Spock, of course.
He has his own kind of magic
But triumphs through logic, not force!
And all Trekkers firmly believe
In this vision of our future tomorrow
When famine, and wars and killing are over
And there will be no more sorrow.
Yes, every Trekker should proclaim it,
Shout it loud lest it be forgot;
For in the heart of every Star Trekker
Burns the Spirit of Camelot!
