New Song: "West Skywalker" (Patreon)

An excerpt from Dark Side Story.

On Tatooine, I was a slave,(In) a scum-and-villainy enclave.Then one day two Jedi Knights came,Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan by name.

They noticed Anakin Skywalker,Pod racer and quite a big talker,Queen Amidala’s pre-teen stalker,Just call me Anakin Skywalker.

They said I was strong in the Force.Said I’m the Chosen One -- of course,I went along with their dumb scheme,Freedom from slavery’s my dream.

If I can win Jabba’s big pod raceI can escape and go out to space.Somehow I ended up in first place,Watto, bye-bye and IN YOUR FACE!

Gonna abscond from this lame scene,To Coruscant with this hot queen,Only one problem that I see,You idjits forgot to free Shmi.

Mom’s still a slave back on Tatooine,Couldn't they save her from Tatooine?I’ll rant and rave and I’ll make a scene,Still, I’ll behave to leave Tatooine.

So my adventure has begun,This is only Episode One,Qui-Gon will teach me -- oops, he’s gone,Guess that I’ll learn from Obi-Wan.

Anakin Skywalker, yeah, that's me,Went back but I couldn't rescue Shmi,Guess that I’ll secretly wed Padme,What could go wrong in Episode Three?

Now I’m Darth Vader, the Chosen One,Balancing the Force is what I’ve done,Now I must quash the Rebellion,-- led by my daughter and my son?
