Peace is a lie, there is only passion
Through passion, I gain strength
Through strength, I gain power
Through power, I gain victory
Through victory, my chains are broken
The force shall free me

PEACE IS A LIE
Also known as a "false peace" or truce, it is only valid as long as it serves its purpose.
When it has outlived it's usefulness, it will be broken. Only through power and might
can a lasting peace be obtained. For example, Emperor Vitiate was so freakishly powerful,
that nobody ever dared challenge him for leadership of his Sith Empire.

THERE IS ONLY PASSION
Passion is whatever you fight for. For example, many of the early Sith had families.
Some, such as Ludo Kressh, had children. They fought for their future. The passion
of Darth Vectivus was his thirst for knowledge of the dark side. His power was
his knowledge.

THROUGH PASSION, I GAIN STRENGTH
Fighting for a cause can be a source of great strength. Naga Sadow fought to grow
his empire. Without constant growth, any empire will eventually grow stagnant, and
begin to crumble. The empire of Naga Sadow lasted over 600 years.

THROUGH STRENGTH, I GAIN POWER
A person's inner strength can lead to great power. The greatest strength of Tulak Hord
was his sorcery. He gained much power through his spells. He ruled for many centuries.

THROUGH POWER, I GAIN VICTORY
More power equals more victories. The legendary Sith King Adas ruled through power
for 300 years, crushing all those who opposed him, and uniting his people.
Even in death, he brought his people great victory.

THROUGH VICTORY, MY CHAINS ARE BROKEN
A chain is anything that holds you down. These can by physical, such as poverty, slavery,
even other people. For Darth Malgus, Elena Daru was his greatest chain. You cannot serve
two masters. Only by eliminating her did Malgus overcome his chains.

Chains can also be mental, such as the limits you put on yourself. Darth Bane believed
himself unable to do sorcery, despite showing a talent for it at the Korriban academy.
Had he overcome his mental chains, Darth Zannah would have died on Ambria instead
of Lord Bane.

THE FORCE SHALL FREE ME
When a Sith finally breaks their chains, they are free of restrictions and limitations,
as I have done. I am now the ultimate power in the galaxy.
