So, I've decided to combine my two greatest passions (metal and Star Wars) and tell the story of Anakin's fall to the darkside as the lyrics of a heavy metal song. Hopefully this is good.
666 666*
They say death came from desert lands
and stars that shine so bright
-a stranger wandering in the sands,
black clothes merged with the night...
An evil one,
love in his heart
-a lightblade shines,
the slaughter starts.
The suffering reverberates through the Force.
The prophecy begins to run its course.
The first have died – and many more will die.
The end of all – is drawing nigh.
Upon the frontlines a wartime hero makes his name.
A puppet master concealed in shadows plays his game.
A love forbidden - yet strong enough to conquer all
A secret weakness – to make the Jedi Order fall.
Civil war draws to and end, replaced by genocide,
Jedi fall by the hands of clones who fought by their side,
children run to the Chosen One, they ask him for his help,
they don't know he won't keep them safe but deal the blow himself.
An evil one,
-love in his heart
a lightblade shines,
the slaughter starts.
Lovers are torn apart by death,
a friendship ends in flame,
a demon rises from the ash
to earn a cruel name.
A corrupt reign is not to last
-lost in a sandy sea,
a young child dreams of wars long past
and those that will yet be.
