Once upon a time there was a starship
With a rebel crew, led by Roj Blake
And he would attack the Federation
He'd bring them down, no matter what it takes...
Chorus: Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd fight and run forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days,
Oh, yes, those were the days...
Once upon a time, there was a hero
He led others on his glorious cause
They lived and died and suffered for their freedom
And escaped the Federation's deadly jaws...
Then, one day, Roj Blake was gone forever
Shot down by Kerr Avon - he was gone
But the revolution won't be halted
As a martyr, Roj Blake will live on!
