From the recording Leaves on the Wind Vol 2: No Power In The 'Verse Can Stop Me
Lyrics
Inspired by Firefly episode 10: War Stories, wherein Zoe tries to reconcile her life as a soldier with the demands of her marriage. Written by The Fallen Stars.
APPLES AND KNIVES
Who am I?
A soldier in a fight?
A good man’s wife?
Apples and knives
Walk in unarmed and make an offer.
There’s a certain code of honor
And I carry enough for two.
Now you want me to choose.
Like you’re another Shan Yu.
Love, honor, obey, well which is it?
It’s a suicide mission
And we just might lose it all.
But I won’t let you fall.
Got our backs up against the wall.
Who am I?
I’m a soldier in a fight.
I’m a good man’s wife.
I’m apples and knives.
No power in the ‘verse can stop me,
I’m gonna get my man.
Now you see who I really am.
I’m apples and knives.
I’m a soldier in a fight.
And I’m a good man’s wife.
