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 meStar 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 meStar by star
