Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two great Space captains are stuck on a moon They have no way off and its gonna be dark real soon A cold, dangerous night is what they're headed for And to make matters worse one of them speaks in metaphor [Chorus] Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Temba, his arms wide Shaka when the walls fell Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Sokath, his eyes open! Shaka when the walls fell [Verse 2] Now these two great men, they survived the night But there's a monster out there that wants to take their life They'll need a communication breakthrough to have any chance Here comes the creature about to advance [Chorus] Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Temba, his arms wide Shaka when the walls fell Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Sokath, his eyes open! Shaka when the walls fell [Verse 3] With patience and imagination they finally find a way to speak eachother's mind So together as one, they attack the beast But their victory is bittersweet [Chorus] Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Temba, his arms wide Shaka when the walls fell Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Darmok and Jalad on the ocean Sokath, his eyes open! Shaka when the walls fell [instrumental ending]
