Earth That Was Lyrics - Victims Of The Modern Age - Star One

Mother Earth couldn't take no more 

sucked dry by humanity 

in the end she lost a fight 

she was never going to win 

We set out 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 

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
