Star By Star

We were alone and on our own
In the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre
Amidst the chaos, from the stars

Love, life and liberty
Hate, death and captivity
Like a stain of starless darkness
Across the canvas of space

Star by star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me

Star by star
Star by star

Galaxies glitter in the black night sky
Towards progress, towards death
From the stars we have come
And 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

Star by star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
