Earth That Was

Mother Earth couldn't take no more
Sucked dry by humanity
In the end, she lost the fight
She was never going to win
As we long for distant shores
Far across our galaxy
We're taking flight into the night
To the planets on the rim
A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that was
A quest for freedom in the 'verse
Seeking refuge from the Earth
A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space
(See the fire)
Out here on the fringe of space
The outskirts of society
We're suffering the aftermath
Of a cataclysmic war
Cast out by the human race
Nine outlaw pioneers
Making life in the outer worlds
Running from the law
A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that was
A quest for freedom in the 'verse
Seeking refuge from the earth
A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space
I see a fire in the darkness
A ray of hope in a black forbidding night
I see a fire in the darkness
A spark of life in a cold and empty sky
A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that was
A quest for freedom in the 'verse
Seeking refuge from the Earth
A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space
A fire in the darkness
Far away from the Earth that Was
A quest for freedom in the 'verse
Seeking refuge from the Earth
A fire in the darkness
A bright light on the edge of space
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space
