Disclaimer - Lucas owns Star Wars, Stover wrote Traitor
A/N - Ganner is probably my favorite Star Wars EU character. This is a poem commemorating his death at the end of Traitor.
I've been running from this moment since I learned to run
I've been trying hard to be a decent Jedi and a faithful son
I can't destroy my pride so I pushed it deep within
I thought it was the only way I'd win
But now as I stand in the path of the Vong
I see that this is the place where I belong
To take this arch, to pass by me
You won't be fighting with the man you see
You'll be fighting fears and fighting pride
Fighting a galaxy that always lied
You'll be fighting hope and the death of dreams
Fighting a galaxy that isn't always what it seems
Send your thousands and we'll start a dance
I know that I'm not standing here by chance
Can't destroy my pride so I'll let it loose
I knew that someday I would find its use
I don't have to be brave, I just choose to pretend
In a dance with the Force, I begin to transcend
Send your thousands to the one who fled
I'll build a fortress out of your dead
You'll be fighting fears and fighting pride
Fighting a galaxy that always lied
You'll be fighting hope and the death of dreams
Fighting a galaxy that isn't always what it seems
