Revenge of the Sith

Work Text:

Go now to rescue the Chancellor
From his own devised trap.
Double the powers of the balancer.
Out of elevator, cloak dramatic flap
As they prepare to duel,
The anger and the hate fuel,
Twice the pride, twice the fall.

Kill him, kill him now, order and obey,
Watch the head roll from the man
Go against the Jedi way.
For revenge you must do what you can.
Against Grievous trade insults,
Negotiator and padawan are grown adults
Fight and fly as is your call.

I’d say the ability to pilot is irrelevant
Now enjoy your time with politicians
To say nine is not too arrogant.
Back in her arms after many missions.
In the shadows she lurks, velvet
Of blue, with a present you’re to get.
Our miracle of a baby so small.

Welcome with wonderful reception.
‘I want our baby to be born home on Naboo.’
Happiness does not cover this deception,
Love blinds because I’m so in love with you.
How long before we trust
In marriage honestly is a must
You die in childbirth in the dream.

Fear of loss is a path to the dark side
On council Palpatine you represent
Commit treason, tell us what he has to hide,
When not made Master you resent.
Why would you ask me to spy?
What if our democracy was to die,
Replaced by terrorist regime?

Did you ever hear the tale of Plagueis?
My trust in Jedi has been shaken.
He saved others from death, and thus
A new Sith is now in the making.
Is this possible to learn?
If her life is what you yearn
Then chase the other extreme.

Obi Wan clashes, one against four
As Grievous bows to one so great.
To arrest four come through the door,
The senate will decide your fate.
Treason as purple clashes red
Until slain and thrown, Jedi lay dead
Henceforth, Darth Vader does now rise.

Plan B: Order 66 is now executed,
As liberty dies with thunderous applause
Jedi hunted and persecuted,
Younglings felled to same cause.
In recordings find only pain,
As the Sith begin their reign
To the wife’s broken cries.

Anakin, you’re breaking my heart
As you go down this path we can’t follow
Because you tore us apart
We shall never see tomorrow.
Anakin lost, the Emperor did win,
Luke’s birth is followed by his twin
Hope falters as our Order dies.
