As down the slope one bloody night in a battle fierce rode I There armed lines of fighting men in uniforms passed me by No help would come not even some and we knew we could not flee And the Alliance bell Brought us into hell at the battle of Serenity Right proudly in our coats of brown We’d hung out the flag of war ‘Twas better to die freely in the sky than as chattel or Alliance whores. And in great pain Falling blood like rain We fought to gain the valley While the Allied ones with their blazing guns shot us down at Serenity Twas Alliance bade our free wills go that an empire could be born Not a one could abide Tyranny so wide Still surrendered that dreadful morn Oh, had I died by my sargeant’s side Where I’m now I’d never be Their names I will keep Where my comrades sleep in the valley of Serenity But the brave who fell Their tales we tell As though our fallen were here The browncoats who died Still lay far and wide In my memory these long, long years And the worlds did gaze in a wounded haze at their kin they could no longer see They had gone to fight to keep freedom’s light Alive down in Serenity In my thoughts I return To where Hera burned my heart with grief is sore For we parted back then With valiant men And women who we won’t see more But to and fro in our ship we go and here in the black we’re free! The war is done And though we never won We found our Serenity
@LAHFaust I think that's the best compliment I've ever received on this song. Thank you! I plan to record a better version later; I will post it when I do!
There's a link to the lyrics in the description, if that helps. I often can't understand lyrics when people sing them. I will be uploading a different version of the song, too. As for quality, I am no sound engineer, so for now I am working with what I have available.
This is just beautiful.
As down the slope one bloody night
in a battle fierce rode I
There armed lines
of fighting men
in uniforms passed me by
No help would come
not even some
and we knew we could not flee
And the Alliance bell
Brought us into hell
at the battle of Serenity
Right proudly in our coats of brown
We’d hung out the flag of war
‘Twas better to die
freely in the sky
than as chattel or Alliance whores.
And in great pain
Falling blood like rain
We fought to gain the valley
While the Allied ones
with their blazing guns
shot us down at Serenity
Twas Alliance bade our free wills go
that an empire could be born
Not a one could abide
Tyranny so wide
Still surrendered that dreadful morn
Oh, had I died
by my sargeant’s side
Where I’m now I’d never be
Their names I will keep
Where my comrades sleep
in the valley of Serenity
But the brave who fell
Their tales we tell
As though our fallen were here
The browncoats who died
Still lay far and wide
In my memory these long, long years
And the worlds did gaze
in a wounded haze
at their kin they could no longer see
They had gone to fight
to keep freedom’s light
Alive down in Serenity
In my thoughts I return
To where Hera burned
my heart with grief is sore
For we parted back then
With valiant men
And women who we won’t see more
But to and fro
in our ship we go
and here in the black we’re free!
The war is done
And though we never won
We found our Serenity
wow...
Wow. Brings a tear to my eye just like the original did. Amazing job.
I second the motion for lyrics! This is gorgeous.
Awesome song!
You can't stop the signal!
