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
