Palpatine's Teachings
The saltiness of your voice terrifies the audience
All is silenced by your expressions
You are here for a very important reason
The planet is in grave danger
What do you suggest we do in our time of need?
It is easy to confuse loyalty with honesty
And yet you seem to fit both categories
Ruthlessness is your game
Deception is your specialty
There are those who believe your teachings are unethical
Some would even go as far as to say you're a mere betrayer
Some who didn't live to see the next day…
Some who never saw it coming…?
Do you realize we are at war here?
As your head turns you make others do the same
They whisper about your intentions and whether they fit the code
Echoes back off the walls like a boomerang
For we hear the same phrase repeated
Do you believe you have convinced us?
As the audience begins to depart…
You solemnly swear your oath of duty
Most don't realize that your fingers are crossed
Soon it will be too late for questioning
The day for when the planets are at battle is at stake
As the stars go in and out, so do the Jedi's
Thank you for your patience
I hope I have earned the trust and approval of those listening
You may be adjourned…for now
