The “Chosen” One

Intro [soft choir, childlike]

“Chosen one… chosen one…”

“Balance… balance…”

Verse 1 [innocent, hopeful]

I was just a boy beneath twin suns

Dreaming I could be the one

They said the Force was in my soul—

A path of light, a greater role

But every vision in my mind

Showed me shadows I can’t hide

If I lose the ones I love—

What is the light worth fighting for?

Pre-Chorus [fear growing]

I see her fading…

I hear her cry…

The future’s breaking—

And so am I…

Chorus [first fracture]

IF THE LIGHT CAN’T SAVE HER—

THEN WHAT’S IT FOR?

I WON’T JUST STAND HERE—

I NEED MORE!

If the Jedi won’t show me the way—

Then I’ll tear through the dark… I’ll betray!

I was chosen…

But now I see—

The darkness was always inside of me…

Verse 2 [manipulation / fall]

A voice like fire inside my head

“I can save her… trust instead”

Promises wrapped in twisted truth

Feeding on my fear, my youth

Every step I take feels wrong

But I’ve been holding this too long

If I must fall to keep her near—

Then let the galaxy burn in fear!

Chorus 2 [darker, stronger]

IF HOPE IS A LIE—

THEN I’LL DESTROY IT!

IF LOVE IS PAIN—

I WON’T AVOID IT!

I’ll become what they fear the most—

A shadow… a god… a ghost!

I was chosen…

Now I’m undone—

The fall has only just begun!

Bridge (quiet devastation)

“Anakin… please…”

I did this… for you…

(choir fades in)

Or was it… for me…?

FINAL CHORUS [full dark transformation, heavy mask breathing]

I AM THE FIRE—

I AM THE FALL!

I HEAR THE DARKNESS—

AND I CALL!

Let the stars collapse in flame—

They will remember my name!

I was chosen…

Now I see—

There is no light left… inside of me…

FINAL LINE [echoing + pause]

“Darth… Vader…”
