Earth That Was Lyrics

Mother Earth couldn't take no more
sucked dry by humanity
in the end she lost a fight
she was never going to winWe set out for distant shores
far across our galaxy
we're taking flight into the night
to the planets on the rimA fire in the darkness
far away from the Earth that Was
a quest for freedom in the "Verse
seeking refuge from the earthA fire in the darkness
a bright light on the edge of space
a desperate need to find our place
in the emptiness of spaceOut here on the fringe of space
the outskirts of society
we're suffering the aftermath
of a cataclysmic warCast out by the human race
nine outlaw pioneers
making life in the outer worlds

running from the lawA fire in the darkness
far away from the Earth that Was
a quest for freedom in the "Verse
seeking refuge from the earthA fire in the darkness
a bright light on the edge of space
a desperate need to find our place
in the emptiness of spaceI 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 skyA fire in the darkness
far away from the Earth that Was
a quest for freedom in the "Verse
seeking refuge from the earthA fire in the darkness
a bright light on the edge of space
a desperate need to find our place
in the emptiness of spaceA fire in the darkness
far away from the Earth that Was
a quest for freedom in the "Verse
seeking refuge from the earthA fire in the darkness
a bright light on the edge of space
a desperate need to find our place
in the emptiness of space
