We were alone & on our own, in the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre, amidst the chaos, from the stars
Love, life & liberty, Hate, death & captivity
Like a stain of starless darkness, across the canvas of space
(Chorus)
STAR BY STAR
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
Galaxies glitter in the black night sky, Towards progress, towards death
From the stars we have come, & to the stars we will return
The violence of passion - The passion of violence
The perverse impulses - The savage egoism
The wicked presence - The wicked essence
The thing that unites us - The thing that divides us
