Song lyrics

Another time, another place,
A hollow universe in space
I took a trip to see the sights
That will be blacker than the night.

One way ticket, no returns,
My shooting stars are vastly burnt
On the edge that you can see.

Let's shoot the moon, you and me,
I'm not particular, you'll see,
Just a lonesome galaxy.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us,
We slip into the night.

I'll say a mass for you and wave,
Shooting plasma from my grave.

Event horizon lost in space
Running in a human race.

I don't know where, I don't know why
But somehow back in time again,
I'm on the edge that you can see.

I'm not particular at night,
A single party calling me,
You won't be tracking me by sight.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us,
We're slipping through the night.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

Shadows and the stars,
We will not return,
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light.

We're slipping through the night.
