Consumed am I,
Consumed with pure hate.
For all that I sought to protect,
I destroyed.
Did they betray me?
Or did I betray them?
My hate,
At first,
I thought was for them,
Then I realized the truth
It was myself I hated
Because I killed
I killed the only one I ever loved.
So I try to cleanse
My bloodstained hands.
I wash away blood
With blood.
What would our child have been like?
Dare I even wonder?
I stand here and I wait,
What for I do not know.
The one I follow
I must destroy.
He is the cause of all my pain.
For it was he
Who led me to this path.
Oh the path seemed so simple,
So very simple,
But its purpose was false.
In the end I am alone.
I have been betrayed and I have betrayed.
With every life
That my hands have taken,
All the more have I hated myself.
My power grows
As does my hate.
My vengeance is nigh.
Twenty years have passed since first I took this place.
A rebellion is strong within the galaxy.
The force lays dormant within its members.
I have found my son,
The child I never knew.
He has been trained
By my former master,
Another whom I have slain.
He is strong and powerful,
Yet he does not wish to join me.
Master Yoda taught him well,
And he is unafraid.
Could I have been that Jedi?
The one with strength, power, and calm
Free of anger and hate.
I want him to join me,
And yet he does not want it.
I can slay him,
Perhaps my daughter would join me.
Yet that I do not want.
I have one option left,
I can reject my hate,
If only for a moment,
I must slay my master.
Not because of my hate,
But to save my children,
Padmé's children,
All that remains of our love.
So I must sacrifice myself to save myself.
Not to take the emperor's place,
But just to restore balance to The Force.
For it will redeem me
Form all of my wrongs.
And my destiny will be fulfilled,
After all, they did say that I was the Chosen One.
