I finally wrote a Firefly song. I think it's pretty good.

lyrics

The Angels Never Came
Moss Bliss

My troops fought hard, and the land was good and scarred
One more day of light shows and rain
With one more shove, I could free the land I love
But the angels never came

Cho
The angels never came, the angels never came
We fought on and on, but the chance to win was gone
And the angels never came

We refused control and the evil that it holds
Our brown coats with blood were stained
Our numbers thin, the Alliance pouring in,
But the Angels never came.

Cho

My choices were few, I could either cheat or lose
The valley burned with flame
I downed an Alliance ship with their own gun
But the Angels never came

Cho

[bridge]

We were fighting for the Angels
Praying for the Angels
Waiting for the Angels
But the Angels never came

[postscript]
(spoken) May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
