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

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 egotism

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
