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 title music of Firefly's movie adaption, Serenity. The theme is also used as the chorus to filk band Escape Key in their Firefly tribute entitled 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
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

Serenity’s are cold hearted creatures who need to go extinct. They act like they care about you and then boom they are talking behind your back and ruining your life. You get your life back together and they are gone . You think you got rid of them and got your life back but sooner or later they show up and ruin it all over again. The funny thing is though they act like they did nothing and they might not even talk to you but they still ruin your life. They steal your crush and money and YOU DIDN’T EVEN GIVE THEM MONEY YOU WERE BEING GENEROUS AND GAVE YOUR CRUSH MONEY AND THEY WENT AND GAVE IT TO FREAKING SERENITY BECAUSE YOUR CRUSH LIKES HER. So long story short if you ever meet a Serenity don’t be their friend even if they’re popular and seem like the nicest person ever spoiler alert it’s a cover they are secretly working for the devil and they are visiting from hell.
