A desert child sand burning in his veins
A mother's last breath a chain unbroken
They said he'd bring the balance to the Force
But prophecies taste like dust when the fear kicks in
Twin suns are bleeding on Tatooine ground
Young hands reaching for stars they can't hold
Obi-Wan watches with a father's tired eyes
The boy is too fast too bright too bold
First saber hums like a promise in the dark
Qui-Gon's ghost flickers then fades to gray
Every lesson carved in sweat and light
But the visions always find a way to stay
They crowned him Chosen
Forgot to ask if he wanted the title
Forgot to ask if he wanted the throne
Oh Anakin
Your wings are burning but you call it flying
The dark side sings and you keep denying
Every scream inside your skull keeps multiplying
Oh Anakin
The mask seals shut but your heart still beating
A father's love the only thing worth keeping
One last breath and the light comes creeping
Through the cracks of everything you broke
Ahsoka leaves her blades behind in snow
Another ghost he made with his own hands
Another ghost he made with his own hands
PadmΓ©'s name gets caught inside his throat
While Palpatine rewrites his every plan
Marching into the Temple with blue fire
The younglings don't understand the game
Somebody screams in the clone trooper choir
He tells himself they would have died the same
The lava burns but not as deep as shame
Not as deep as the silence when she whispered his name
Not as deep as the silence when she whispered his name
Oh Anakin
Your wings are burning but you call it flying
The dark side sings and you keep denying
Every scream inside your skull keeps multiplying
Oh Anakin
The mask seals shut but your heart still beating
A father's love the only thing worth keeping
One last breath and the light comes creeping
Through the cracks of everything you broke
Luke never saw the monster in the suit
Just the dying man who taught him how to breathe
And when the lightning hit and the Emperor laughed
The Chosen One remembered how to leave
Remembered how to leave everything for love
Tell Obi-Wan I was right about the boy
Tell Ahsoka the snow has turned to glass
Tell PadmΓ© I finally found the balance
In the last second of my last breath
The Force remembers what the dark forgets
