Here are the certified-official lyrics as I had them from a band member. Two changes to note: the original title was "Come Ye Knights," and the leader mentioned in the chorus was originally the "Jedi Queen." They removed "Jedi" to avoid being sued, and I don't know why the title is printed "Come You Knights" on the J-card.
CHORUS: Come ye knights and come ye pilots
With your ships and sabers shining
Come and stop your children's crying
Come and join the Rebel Queen
Come with might and come with glory
Set your dreams on wings a-soaring
Hear the ancient hidden story.
Come and join the Rebel Queen!
Heard the tales the Empire spread, told you Rebels couldn't win
So you locked your doors before them, made your courage battered tin.
Promised you the traitor’s lands, wealth and power in your hands
You don't even have to fight. All you do is watch them die.
Never ask the dangerous questions such as why you're off to war
Yours is but to follow generals, going where the trumpets blow.
CHORUS
In the battle for Tiatra, saw a pilot as he died
Looked into his shattered cockpit, heard my soul in torment cry.
For the first time since I started, for the first time in my life
Looked into the enemy's eyes, found that they were just like mine.
Lived with evil for so long now, had forgotten truth and right
Knew my time had come and somehow saw my way to join their fight.
CHORUS
Lying in a blasted turret with a full moon in my eyes
Had no hope that help was coming, when a flash lit up the skies.
Thought it was a battle starship, felt that soon we all would die
Heard the words the Emperor promised, knew them right then for a lie.
Saw the Rebel starships coming, being led by the Chosen Ones
Evil forces lost that morning, and a new day has begun.
CHORUS
this song makes me tear up oddly enough
Same here! It's like finding a long lost friend, I love this merry little band from days long past!
At first it was Jedi Queen but that is copyrighted so they changed it. For a while there they would start to sing Jedi but then half way through the word they remembered it was not rebel. So it would then come out Gerbil queen. They got so tired of rehearsing it before making the recording they filked their own song to now be the Dairy Queen. As you can imagine sometimes it came out the Devil Queen. I miss them.
It's been many, many a long year since I've heard this wonderful little band. I remember the parody of this song called Dairy Queen. I miss Technical Difficulties!!
Both albums (including Station Break, with “Dairy Queen”) are available for download.
Thank you for posting this! This is the best quality version I've heard of this song!
man this is a high-quality subgenre. Intense Starcraft vibes all around.
Does any one have the take of called Dairy Queen?
