This track tells the story of Anakin Skywalker’s fall—how hope turned into fear, and fear into something far darker. From hero to legend… to something else entirely.
Power, loss, and the cost of everything.

Lyrics:
I tried… to save you…
Golden light on a distant shore
A life I thought was mine before
Your hand in mine, a quiet dream
A world untouched, or so it seemed
But shadows grew inside my head
Visions of you lying dead
Every future torn apart
By the fear inside my heart
They said let go…
But I held on…
And in that grip…
Everything was gone…
I gave my soul to stop the night
Turned from the truth, away from the light
Now I’m the ghost that I once feared
A hollow mask, a voice unclear
I tried to break what I couldn’t save
Built my throne on a shallow grave
If power is all that remains…
Why do I still feel your name?
Ash and fire, a broken sky
Screaming out but no reply
Every step I took in rage
Wrote my fate upon that stage
Steel and breath now keep me alive
More machine than what survived
But deep beneath the endless black
A dying voice is pulling back
I hear your cry…
Across the flame…
But I’m too far…
To speak your name…
I gave my soul to stop the night
Turned from the truth, away from the light
Now I’m the hand that strikes in fear
A shattered past I can’t make clear
I tried to kill what I became
But fed the fire instead of the flame
If this is power I’ve obtained…
Why do I still feel the pain?
In the silence… I hear you still…
Through the void… against my will…
Was it fate… or was it me…
Who chose the dark… and couldn’t see…
No escape…
No return…
Only ashes…
Only burn…
I gave my soul to stop the night
Now I’m the shadow that kills the light
A broken man behind the steel
Trapped in a fate I cannot heal
I wore the crown that fear designed
But left the man I was behind
If this is all I’m meant to be…
Why won’t the past release me?
