[Intro – Imperial Announcer]
(Low Imperial hum → distant alarms → slow march beat)
🎙️
“Order… Control… Vision…
From the Emperor’s inner circle…
Two architects of fear…
ONLY ONE COMMANDS THE SHADOWS…
ZONA.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – Director Krennic]
(Sharp, arrogant, brittle confidence)
I built the Death Star while you studied art books
I bend galaxies with a flick—check the body count, look
White cape, polished boots, I earned my rank
While you whisper from corners like a myth in a tank
I answer to power, to fire, to might
One reactor ignition turns hope into night
You play chess with cultures, I end wars with beams
I don’t predict the future—I erase enemy dreams
⸻
[Verse 2 – Grand Admiral Thrawn]
(Calm, precise, predatory)
Fascinating.
You mistake destruction for control.
A common error… among the unimaginative.
You required a superweapon to feel relevant
I require understanding—and fleets become obedient
You burn worlds to prove worth to a throne
I win wars before the first shot is known
You built a weapon that destroyed itself
I build inevitability, piece by piece, shelf by shelf
Art reveals weakness—fear, pride, obsession
Your masterpiece exposed your own imperfection
⸻
[Hook – Imperial Choir / Crowd]
🎵
Power or perception?
Force or finesse?
Who rules the Empire—
FEAR OR CHESS?
⸻
[Verse 3 – Krennic]
(Angrier, cracking)
You think you’re smarter ‘cause you speak slow and soft?
I was face-to-face with gods while you stayed aloft
Vader knew my name—Tarkin knew my plans
You’re a curiosity project from the Emperor’s hands
I made the Empire kneel to my design
You analyze scraps while I redraw time
Say my name when the planet goes dark
History remembers the men who leave a mark
⸻
[Verse 4 – Thrawn]
History remembers results.
You sought recognition.
I seek victory.
Vader tolerated you.
Tarkin replaced you.
Your ambition screamed louder than your skill
You climbed on credit, then died on a hill
I read species like maps, ambition like lies
You couldn’t read Galen standing in front of your eyes
You wanted applause—I command silence
When I arrive, rebellions choose violence
Against themselves.
You were loud.
I am final.
⸻
[Final Exchange – Overlapping]
KRENNIC:
I changed the galaxy!
THRAWN:
You destabilized it.
KRENNIC:
I wielded terror!
THRAWN:
You misunderstood it.
BOTH:
The Empire does not reward failure.

[Outro – Emperor Voice (filtered)]
(Low laugh, Force crackle)

“There is… only one Grand Admiral.”
