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 egoism
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
