You are wondering who I am… machine or mannequin?
With parts made on Geonosis, I am the modren man.
Forged I am from the pain of losing all I hold dear.
Forged I am of metals over flesh and bone.
Yet, I'm not a droid, void of emotions.
I'm not what you see.
I'm not a hero, and neither am I a savior.
Forget what you think you know of my glorious and tragic past.
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control…
But I need control. I ishall have/i control.

All I know now is grief, but I will not be the only one!

The time has come at last
To dawn this gruesome mask
So every one can see
What has become my true identity…

I'm Grievous! Grievous! Grievous!
