vixy and tony - mal's song lyrics
[verse 1:]
when the stars shine bright through the engine’s trail
and the dust of another world drops behind
when my ship is free of the open sky
it’s a d-mn good day to my way of mind
[verse 2:]
there’s a barren planet you never can leave
there’s a rocky valley where we lost a war
there’s a cross once hung round a soldier’s neck
there’s a man’s faith died on serenity’s floor
[pre-chorus:]
but i stood my ground and i’ll fly once more
it’s the last oath that i ever swore
[chorus:]
so 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 into the black
tell ’em i ain’t comin’ back
burn the land and boil the sea
you can’t take the sky from me
you can’t take the sky from me
[verse 3:]
when you see a man and he’s standin’ alone
well you might just take him for an easy mark
and there’s many a man has tried his hand
and there’s worse than wolves in the borderland dark
[verse 4:]
from the savage men to the government hounds
try to take what’s yours and tear you through
but them that run with me’s got my back
it’s a fool don’t know that his family’s his crew
[pre-chorus:]
don’t you tell me what i cannot do
don’t you think i’ve got to run from you
[chorus:]
just 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 into the black
tell ’em i ain’t comin’ back
burn the land and boil the sea
you can’t take the sky from me
you can’t take the sky from me
[verse 5:]
when you’ve walked my road and you’ve seen what i’ve seen
well you won’t go talkin’ ’bout righteous men
you’ll know d-mn well why i want to keep to my sky
never cry ‘neath n-body’s heel again
[verse 6:]
i’ve seen torment raked ‘cross innocent souls
seen sane men mad and good men die
i’ve been hounded, hated, married and tricked
i’ve been tortured, cheated, shot and tied
[pre-chorus:]
you won’t see no tears when i say goodbye
i’ve still got my family and my firefly
[chorus:]
so 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 into the black
tell ’em i ain’t comin’ back
burn the land and boil the sea
you can’t take the sky from me
you can’t take the sky from me
