The Siege

Originally Appeared Here

Now we're back for part three, Under Siege like Seagal(1)

At the behest of Jaro Essa and his shadowy cabal

They're marching on the city, gonna try a coup d'etat

Seize the power on the planet from the Kai to the Sirah(2)

So Kira and Dax bring the evidence to the ministers

Make 'em hear the facts, Cardies up to something sinister

Next thing they're flying by the seat of her pants

Have to keep trying even if they don't stand a chance.

While Li and Sisko use guerilla war tricks

Bashir setting traps down in Cargo Bay Six

Sisko worries Li's just trying to get killed

Only used to fighting, no use to help rebuild

This hero's just a man, guess he's kinda like Cochrane(3) 

But people need a leader to coordinate like Spock's Brain(4)

The commander reaches out to make peace with the general

BUt soon they find their victory's fleeting and ephemeral

The colonel's got a gun before they turn to look

And then just like this verse, Nalas is off the hook.
