History:
The band was formed in 1993 by guitarist Johnny Stoj with his brother Robbie on drums. After cultivating a visual and musical style similar to bands like Judas Priest and Manowar, Pegazus recorded a self-titled album in 1995 with Justin Fleming on vocals and Dave King on bass. The following year, Fleming Quit the band Danny Cecati joined and the band recorded a new demo and began seeking a record deal. Linking up with Melbourne’s Metal Warriors, the band’s second album Wings of Destiny was released locally in 1997. After receiving a copy of the album, Germany’s Nuclear Blast offered the band a contract and released Wings of Destiny worldwide with more distinctive, professional artwork.
In August 1998, Pegazus travelled to Germany to perform at the Wacken Open Air festival. The show was remarkable only not as the first the band had ever played outside Melbourne but because they appeared at the festival twice, on the main stage and again on a side-stage later as a replacement for Darkseed. Following Wacken, Pegazus returned to Australia briefly before going back to Europe in September for a tour with HammerFall. Eric Martins played bass at all of these shows as King had left the band.
Corey Betts joined Pegazus as King’s replacement in January 1999 and very little was heard from the group until the Breaking the Chains album was released late in the year. Controversy followed shortly after when it was revealed in March 2000 that Cecati had been fired for apparently devoting too much time to another Melbourne band called Anarion. Cecati countered by claiming that he had become frustrated with the virtual inactivity of Pegazus as a live act and Johnny Stoj’s creative control over the group. He subsequently also left Anarion and joined Eyefear in late 2000.
In September, Rob Thompson replaced Cecati. Pegazus then toured interstate in January 2001, playing its first shows outside of Melbourne since the European tour in September 1998. At approximately the same, Betts formed another band, Kymera, with ex-members of Cyclone Tracy and Catwitch, but would remain with Pegazus until after the recording of the next album. Kymera would later become Black Majesty.
2002’s The Headless Horseman was the first Pegazus album in three years and would prove to be its last for Nuclear Blast. Following Betts’ departure, Black Majesty guitarist Hanny Mohammed became the band’s bass player for its infrequent live appearances. Robbie Stoj then left Pegazus in September 2003, with Bernie Goldstein temporarily filling the role, the band recorded some performances for a live album. In the meantime, the group’s relationship with Nuclear Blast came to an end with Pegazus claiming the label had virtually ignored its previous release. The live album Live! – Thunder Down Under was released independently by the band in February 2004. At around the same time, Robbie Stoj was finally replaced by Ange Sotiro and Betts by Joe Fata, who had ironically also replaceed him briefly in Black Majesty.

Mother Earth
Pegazus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are people crying
Where will it lead us?
Where will we go?
Nobody knows
Why let her die?
Why choose to destroy her?
Now it's ruined by
Temptation and greed
Watching the sky turn to grey
People are dying every day
Toxins in the air to no despair
The air that we breathe gets worse every year
Mother Earth is dying - Can't you hear her crying?
She's crying - Crying
The world it turns but suffers slow
Not many care or even know
But soon the day, the day will come
When it is all, all too late
Mother Earth is dying - Can't you hear her crying?
She's crying - Crying
Mother Earth is dying - Can't you hear her crying?
She's crying - Crying
Spoken words of peace are just a lie to me
You hear it all the time, it's a God damn crime
Can't you hear her, how the wind cries?
Can't you see her, the colour of her skies?
Mother Earth is dying - Can't you hear her crying?
She's crying, She's crying
Crying, Crying, Crying, Crying
The song "Mother Earth" by Pegazus is a powerful message about the danger the planet Earth faces due to the destruction caused by human greed and temptation. The lyrics express the desperation and sadness that come from watching the harm being done to the environment and the consequences it has on both the planet and its inhabitants. The song begins with a statement that Mother Earth is dying and people are crying, creating a sense of urgency and sadness. The chorus repeats the question, "Can't you hear her crying?" emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the damage done to the planet and the critical moment it has come to.
The next part of the lyrics calls attention to the fact that nobody knows exactly where the destruction will lead or where we will go if we do not take action to prevent it. It questions why we would let the planet die and destroy it when it gives us everything we need. The greed and temptation of humans are blamed for the slow death of the planet, causing toxins in the air and a gray sky that contribute to the death of people every day. The bridge of the song calls attention to the fact that not many care or even know about the destruction of the environment, and sooner or later, it will be too late to save it. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that Mother Earth is crying.
In conclusion, "Mother Earth" is a song that carries a crucial message and a call to action to preserve the planet. The lyrics are a metaphor for the death of nature and also reflect the feelings of sadness and desperation of the people who realize the living conditions we face in years to come may be terrible.
