Ballad of Serenity
written by joss whedon and performed by sonny rhodes, it is also known as the theme to firefly. firefly was a woefully short-lived series on the fox television station. it was a sci-fi western and the opening theme conveyed the main hero and protagonist of the show; a hardened war veteran named malcolm “mal” reynolds. the song has been covered by a band called the henry kaiser band and can be heard in the closing t-tle music of firefly’s movie adaption, serenity. the theme is also used as the chorus to filk band escape key in their firefly tribute ent-tled mal’s song.
lyrics for the ballad of serenity.
take my love, take my land
take me where i cannot stand
i don’t care, i’m still free
you can’t take the sky from me
take me out to the black
tell them i ain’t coming back
burn the land and boil the sea
you can’t take the sky from me
there’s no place i can be
since i’ve found serenity
but you can’t take the sky from me
