Took four seasons, but I finally wrote a real Babylon Five filk!! (I don't count my "Rudolph the Red-Shipped Shadow" toss- off)
The universe is much older Then our races understand The stories of ancient beings Who formed all we see at hand Just look at the stars we fly though They've been here since time has dawned Their wonderful deeds surround us Where have all the First Ones gone? Beyond the rim Beyond the rim There's a dimension Past comprehension With elbow room Here on Bab5 we deal with strife Out in the stars a quieter life Zathras is quotin' First Ones are floatin' Beyond the rim Back here all the League is happy They dance through the Zocalo But some of us here are wary The shephard is now our role The races that will succeed us Inherit the world we share One day when our job has finished We will join them way out there Beyond the rim Beyond the rim Where life's a warm beach No more Great War each Millenium We will no longer have to fight We won't be all alone in the night We'll have the Rangers Life won't be stranger Beyond the rim Beyond the rim Things will be sweet there Won't feel the heat there Life won't be dim What is out there they find so swell? The galaxy's best Taco Bell? What is their reason? Was the fifth season Beyond the rim? Delenn tells the tales Of times that have gone G'Kar reads a page from The book of G'Quon As Ivanova Hunts First Ones with Draal And waits for tomorrow's boom The ray he can play The lings on the strings Our pathway will come From Epsilon III We'll step to the bar Hop on a White Star And fly out past Z'aha'dum Beyond the rim Beyond the rim When we check out Go on walkabout Where life ain't so grim There's a new realm that we will find Our universe we will leave far behind Rest will be ours out Amongst the stars Beyond the rim Narn and Centauri Both say they're sorry Beyond the rim We'll have no fear When Shadows are near There'll be no wailin' When we're with Valen We'll end all our wars; we'll Understand Vorlons Beyond the rim
