On a long and lonesome journey
In the Bot'ny Bay
You've been sleeping out the decades
Driftin' through the Milky Way.
You've been dreamin' of the nation
Or the world you ruled just yesterday...
But your dreams will soon be memories
Of deeds that others rue;
When you wake another century
Will strive to conquer you,
And you come this close to dying
But you know your trip is through.
Say...
I am Khan - entertain me for
I am Khan - new to your age.
I was Singh - Sikh conquistador,
I was Singh - Raj of Rage.
Then you wake up on the Enterprise
Wary of your fame,
And you see their dull suspicion
As you tell them half your name;
You pretend they could be different,
But mankind is still the same.
Most times you can fool them all
Other times you can't -
Still the same old question,
Are you a monster or a man?
And you find your kind outnumbered -
You have to make a stand.
I am Khan - entertain me for
I am Khan - new to your age.
I was Singh - Sikh conquistador,
I was Singh - Raj of Rage.
Study their schematics -
You're two hundred years behind;
Technical advances pose
No challenge to your mind.
As you plan to seize this starship,
Take the woman that you find.
Make a new beginning;
As you struggle to survive
Watch a red star dawning wrathful over
Ceti Alpha Five -
This earth a howling wilderness
And yet you're still alive.
Ah...
I am Khan - entertain me for
I am Khan - new to your age.
I was Singh - Sikh conquistador,
I was Singh - Raj of Rage.I am Khan - entertain me for
I am Khan - new to your age.
I was Singh - Sikh conquistador,
I was Singh - Raj of Rage.
