[Verse 1]
Before the marble halls
Before the silver blade
He stood in temple dawn
With clean and steady faith
Young hands on careful code
A noble, quiet flame
He bowed to duty first
And answered to his name
[Pre-Chorus]
But pride can dress as grace
And silence learns to sneer
The boy who said it first
Could not hear what came near
[Chorus]
Twice the pride
Double the fall
Twice the pride
Hear the call
You said it first
Now look down
Twice the pride
Double the fall
[Verse 2]
He walked the Jedi roads
With reason like a shield
He cut through easy lies
And made the weak things yield
But every slight kept score
In chambers lined with gold
A lesson turned to iron
A heart grew sharp and cold
[Pre-Chorus]
If you had learned that line
You spoke with rising scorn
Twice the pride can break
What honor once had worn
[Chorus]
Twice the pride
Double the fall
Twice the pride
Hear the call
You said it first
Now look down
Twice the pride
Double the fall
[Bridge]
Remember temple stone
And mornings full of light
You could have stayed the path
And spared yourself this night
Instead you chose the wound
To make your shadows tall
The saying was a warning
You became the proof of all
[Final Chorus]
Twice the pride
Double the fall
Twice the pride
Hear the call
You said it first
Now look down
Twice the pride
Double the fall
