"Peace comes forth to a fearful world,
Where life and hope are destroyed,
The Terror and death must be stricken,
From the desolate and dark void.
Taking the struggle, came one man,
A power that stood firm and tall.
He claimed the right, to govern the terror,
Of the uncertain destiny of it all.
The Force that flowed through him,
Like a mountain stream,
He would change the universes,
To his long thought dream.
The power grow well,
And spread far and near.
He had become the God to all,
And they would come to hear
The Empire long ago ruled firm,
With the guidance and rulership of he,
But the shadow of the rebel reign,
Came to light for all to see.
The struggle grew fast, and out of control,
And the battle was full of might,
But the Emperor fell, in the heat of the war,
In the Dark cold of the night."
