Act I
1. Civil War
(Officer): Welcome to the army; what is your story?/A farm boy sent to fight for their hometown’s rights;/Or perhaps you are an innocent whose parents lost their lives;/Or maybe lover boys sent to be soldiers for their wives;/In this Civil War.
Well, it don’t matter in these troubled times./We need every man even if they committed crimes./Your job is to hold the line./From those who still wave their sign,/In this Civil War.
(Mal): A long time has passed since I heard those words./And it now it comes down to who can hold this world./They said that they would waltz through, that we wouldn’t fight./They said we couldn’t do it, but we showed them our might./And now we need to last just a bit longer./‘Til our planes come and shower them in thunder./Just keep them back, that is your goal./So, you all you need to do is … HOLD!!!
Solo
(Mal): Listen to those angels, they’re almost here./And the purple guys, they cower in fear./ (Zoë): They’re not coming, they’ve turned around./They’re gonna leave us on this God-forsaken ground.
(Mal): How can they do that to us?/They are blasting us into dust./ (Zoë): In the end, we gave it our all./That’s just what happens in a “Civil” War.

2. Serenity (Part 1)
You’re trapped in Serenity.
Now, the future don’t look too bright./You never run from a fight./Now, you’ll head up into space./To try and find your own place.
Chorus: This will be our home./A ship of our own./A place we can be free./We shall call it Serenity.
Now you gather up the pieces./Of what you lost in the sieges./You’re trying to replace parts of you./By creating a strange, new crew.
Chorus
Breakdown:
Your innocence, your humour./Your faith and your rigour./Have all been swept away./And that’s the way it’s gonna stay.
Chorus

3. Welcome Aboard (What Should We Do?)
The no.7 Honour sequence made me giggle. Mal... always with the honour-defending...
And no.8, funny as it was, definitely sounded ominous & earth-shaking because I imagine Book to be a baritone.
Very original piece.
