[Intro: DeForest Kelley (as Dr. McCoy), Leonard Nimoy (as Spock)]
—It also proves another Earth saying: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Darn clever, these Earthmen, wouldn't you say?
—Yes. Earthmen like Ramses, Alexander, Caesar...

[Verse 1: Leon Thomas]
They say power corrupts absolutely
And I held you loosely
Left you in the open, ay
There was no controlling, ay
This was something golden, ay
I feel like I broke it, your trust
I feel like it's broken

[Chorus: Leon Thomas]
I might just have to go fade to black (I might, I might, I might)
Once I go out, there ain't no coming back (I might, I might, I might)
I might just have to go fade to black
Fade to black

[Bridge: Leon Thomas]
I might, I might, I might
I might, I might, I might
I might, I might, I might
I might, I might, I might

[Verse 2: Leon Thomas]
Rumors has it that we'll be alright though
Even if you hoeing, girl, you my ho
Had to hit my side bitch with a side note
Had to get out, slip out from the side door
Took my baby girl right out to Nordies
Told her she can have whatever
Got her wondering if I'm a scammer
Ooooh, I don't know (if I can do this anymore)
[Chorus: Leon Thomas]
I might just have to go fade to black
Once I go out, there ain't no coming back
I might just have to go fade to black
Fade to black
