O'Brien and Bashir sing "Jerusalem".
Jerusalem is an English Terran hymn, adapted from a poem called "And did those feet in ancient time" by William Blake. The hymn was often used as an unnoficial anthem for the nation-state of England during the 20th and 21st centuries, especially for sporting events.
In 2371, while inebriated, Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien sang the last five lines of the song (probably having previously sung the beginning), then started again at the beginning a short time later, singing the first two lines. (DS9: "Explorers")
- Bring me my bow of burning gold:
- Bring me my arrows of desire:
- Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
- Bring me my chariots of fire.
- I will not cease from mental fight,
- Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
- Till we have built Jerusalem
- In England's green and pleasant land!"
- And did those feet in ancient time
- Walk upon England's mountains green?
- And was the holy Lamb of God
- On England's pleasant pastures seen?"
- — Excerpted from "Jerusalem".
