Verse 1
Come sit awhile, Luke, and rest by the fire,
The desert grows cold when the twin suns retire.
There's a story I've carried for many long years,
One that's spoken through silence much more than through tears.
I once knew a boy with the whole sky to chase,
Hope burned in his heart and the light on his face.
No title, no riches, just dreams in his eyes...
And he looked at the stars like they'd answer him why.
Chorus
He was more than a legend,
More than the name.
Before all the darkness,
Before all the shame.
Your father was laughter,
Compassion, and pride.
And I'd give all I have...
To have kept him beside me.
Verse 2
We fought side by side through the smoke and the flame,
I trusted him more than I trusted my name.
He'd rush into danger when others held back,
Always believing he'd bring everyone back.
Then love found his heart, though forbidden it stood,
For love itself never was evil or good.
But fear has a way of twisting what's true,
Till saving the ones that you love... changes you.
Chorus
He was more than a soldier,
More than the war.
He carried the hopes
Of a thousand worlds more.
But burdens grow heavy,
And hearts can be torn...
Even the brightest
Can lose the dawn.
Bridge
There was one who spoke softly,
With poison and grace.
He promised your father
That death could be chased.
By the time that we saw it...
The trap had been sprung.
The friend that I followed...
Was already gone.
Verse 3
Our final duel came where the rivers ran fire,
Neither of us had the heart we desired.
I begged him to turn from the hatred he'd found...
But anger was all that could answer the sound.
When at last it was over, I couldn't strike true.
I looked at my brother...
Not someone I knew.
Final Chorus
So when people tell you
Your father was lost,
Don't forget the man
Before all the cost.
Darkness may claim us,
But it doesn't decide
The measure of those
Who once walked in the light.
Outro
One day you'll meet him...
When you do...
Remember the man I've told you about.
Not the one wearing the mask.
Because somewhere beneath it...
Your father is still listening.
