[Intro]
Breathe in the silence, the chamber locks tight
Black cloak falling like the edge of night
A red blade wakes where the cold sparks fly
I made a throne from the reason I died
[Verse 1]
Rebels scatter when the fleet arrives
Leia sends a signal, but the old hope hides
Luke has a fire that I recognize
Han talks loud while Chewie growls beside
C-3PO trembles, R2 rolls fast
The Falcon cuts through, but it cannot outrun the past
Obi-Wan taught me mercy, I answered with flame
Now Kenobi hears the armor and remembers my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear Padmé in the engine-room rain
One lost heart turned a man into pain
Every breath is a verdict, every step is a drum
The dark side calls, and I know what I’ve become
[Chorus]
Crush the Rebel Alliance, bring the whole sky down
No senator, no smuggler, no hiding ground
From Alderaan’s ashes to the Death Star crown
The dark side rises when I enter town
[Verse 2]
I dueled Obi-Wan where the red earth burned
He saw Anakin, but the lesson was learned
Padmé slipped away while the stars stayed cold
I buried that name in a suit of black gold
Yoda speaks in riddles, Vader speaks plain
The Force bends hard when I tighten the chain
Palpatine grins with his lightning in hand
But even emperors fear what they cannot command
Boba tracks targets, Tarkin wants proof
Stormtroopers march underneath the iron roof
Lando changed sides when the pressure got near
I turn every promise into permanent fear
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear Padmé in the engine-room rain
One lost heart turned a man into pain
Every breath is a verdict, every step is a drum
The dark side calls, and I know what I’ve become
[Chorus]
Crush the Rebel Alliance, bring the whole sky down
No senator, no smuggler, no hiding ground
From Alderaan’s ashes to the Death Star crown
The dark side rises when I enter town
[Bridge]
Luke, you carry a spark I was sworn to erase
A son in the mask, a ghost in the face
If you reach for the light, I will sever the chain
But some buried voice still remembers her name
[Final Verse]
Leia stands tall, but the blockade won’t bend
Han fires first, yet the corridor ends
Chewie roars once, then the blast doors descend
I was built from a loss that refuses to end
The Force is a river, I dam it with dread
Every rebel banner gets torn overhead
Obi-Wan’s echo still cuts through the black
But I turned from the light and I’m not turning back
[Final Chorus]
Crush the Rebel Alliance, bring the whole sky down
No senator, no smuggler, no hiding ground
Luke feels the thunder when the dark comes around
The dark side rises, and I rule it now
[Outro]
Padmé, forgive what the armor became
The stars keep burning, but they don’t say my name
One breath in the darkness, one blade through the night
The galaxy kneels before the last red light
