download klingon song

Rojqoq is an old Klingon song stating that the proposed alliance was doomed to failure, that peace with so vile an enemy was impossible, that even the thought of such a treaty was dishonorable. It is not roj (genuine peace), it is rojqoq ('so-called' peace). Rojqoq first appeared in the Agonizer (Vol. 4, No. 1, 1993) along with an English translation. As you listen, notice the Star Trek sound references that weave through the song, and observe the tiny pitch divisions, in some places as small as 60 equally divided tones per octave (a traditional Klingon scale).

"So-Called" Peace

We are not afraid to kill you
We are not afraid to kill you
We are not afraid to kill you
I get sick
We are not willing to trust you
We are not willing to trust you
We are not willing to trust you
Your smell makes me sick
Your words make me sick

As for this peace, it is a "so-called" peace
And this friend, he is a "so-called" friend
And this help, it is "so-called" help

We are not ready to believe you
We are not ready to believe you
We are not ready to believe you
Your smell makes me sick
Your words make me sick

As for this peace, it is a "so-called" peace
And this friend, he is a "so-called" friend
And this help, it is "so-called" help

We are not ready to promise you
We are not ready to promise you
We are not ready to promise you
Your smell makes me sick
Your words make me sick

As for this peace, it is a "so-called" peace
And this friend, he is a "so-called" friend
And this help, it is "so-called" help
