Earth that Was lyrics

[Damian:]
Mother Earth couldn't take no more
Sucked dry by humanity
In the end she lost a fight
She was never going to win

[Dan:]
We set out for distant shores
Far across our galaxy
We're taking flight into the night
To the planets on the rim

[Russel:]
A fire in the darkness
[Floor:]
Far away from the Earth That Was
[Russel:]
A quest for freedom in the 'Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth

[Russel:]
A fire in the darkness
[Floor:]
A bright light on the edge of space
[Russel:]
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space
(oh oh oh)
(I see a fire)
(ah ah ah ah ah)
(oh oh)
(oh oh)

[Damian:]
Out here on the fringe of space
The outskirts of society
We're suffering the aftermath
Of a cataclysmic war

[Dan:]
Cast out by the human race
Nine outlaw pioneers
Making life in the outer worlds
Running from the law

[Russel:]
A fire in the darkness
[Floor:]
Far away from the Earth That Was
[Russel:]
A quest for freedom in the 'Verse
Seeking refuge from the earth
[Russel:]
A fire in the darkness
[Floor:]
A bright light on the edge of space
[Russel:]
A desperate need to find our place
In the emptiness of space

[Russel:]
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
