~*~
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

Should Doug ever run through the universe of Firefly/Serenity, this would be a simulacrum song for that would summon the crew of the Serenity. Or possibly them and the Serenity. Word of God confirms that this song is directly based on the show. (Both Star One albums have songs based on various sci-fi shows and movies.)

Mm.
And I do have a fragment of a Firefly Step floating around, too...
