“The Council Has Spoken”
by Super Smack
YODA:
At war we are, and Chosen though he may be
Hazy is the way the Sith evade me
Slipping is our gripping on this trainee
Prophecies, hypocrisies, betray me.
Chosen though he may be
Hazily they evade me
Prophecies, hypocrisies, betray me.
MACE WINDU:
Boom, go the clones and droids.
Hush go the politicians plotting their ploys
We got the Sith playing with us like a kid with a toy
We're a Council of men. Now they sending us boys?
Well I’ll be damned, if I let this grandstanding Chancellor
Push plans on me. I'm a Jedi Master
That’s a rank, young Skywalker will never reach
Long as I, Mace Windu, sit in this seat.
OBI-WAN:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
YODA & MACE:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
ANAKIN SKYWALKER:
Hold up, I didn’t ask for this, Mace
But you rejecting me? That’s a f****n disgrace
OBI-WAN KENOBI:
Anakin, enough. You’re out of place.
ANAKIN:
Back me up, Obi-Wan. Look me in the face
And tell me I don’t deserve this. You know my service.
Dooku shook you, and I killed him, I earned this-
I've been rippin every mission that you asked me to
Palpatine sees it, why can’t you?
OBI-WAN:
Blast. Is he right?
Is he Master? Is he Knight?
He’s gonna be more than anybody before but
Will be it Dark or Light?
Quiet. Obi-Wan you’re scaring yourself again
This guy's your brother, he’s your friend.
Shut up and tow the company line. Everything will be fine.
But for a second pretend…
If the boy turns, isn’t that on you?
Cuts like a saber burns. What would Qui-Gon do?
What am I gon' do?
...My job. Gotta see this through.
Gotta peace to keep, a war win
The Sith don’t sleep. Still in the Jedi do I trust
The shadow's deep. It’s darkening.
But it's not him. Yo, Anakin is one of us.
YODA & MACE:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
OBI-WAN:
I raised you like a son
YODA & MACE:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
OBI-WAN:
I think of all that we’ve been through
YODA & MACE:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
OBI-WAN:
You are the Chosen One
YODA & MACE:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
OBI-WAN:
And I believe in you
ANAKIN:
Padme, something's not right with me
I’m scared I’m not the Jedi that I should be
PADME AMIDALA:
What's the matter Ani?
You're gonna be a father, what else matters Ani?
ANAKIN:
Premonitions I can't shake
Someone trying to take you away from me,
And in my dreams
Padme, I can hear your screams
PADME:
Breathe in, breathe out,
I don't doubt your strength, don’t you doubt mine now
I've been through the fire. Imma be alright.
But don't you run away from me, we're running out of time. Check.
The Senate is a shell of what it once was
To thunderous applause they fall backwards
With Palpatine, democratic means are going extinct
Any who'd oppose him are frozen like statues
ANAKIN:
You’re wrong about the Chancellor,
He knows of a power... It could be our answer.
PADME:
The answer is go back to Naboo
Raise our child free of this taboo
Anakin, what else can we do?
I must be with my people, that includes our family too
Our family, boo
Our fam-i-ly, Ani, what can we do?
YODA, MACE, and OBI-WAN:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
PADME:
What can we do?
YODA, MACE, and OBI-WAN:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
PADME:
What can we do?
YODA, MACE, and OBI-WAN:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
PADME:
What can we do?
YODA, MACE, and OBI-WAN:
The Council has spoken, spoken, spoken, spoken
ANAKIN:
Alone…So much noise.
Back home. There was so much sand.
I remember my mother's voice.
I remember how she took my hand.
SHMI SKYWALKER:
Ani, are you okay?
Are you okay? Are you okay?
ANAKIN:
Mom, I failed you then, but not her.
I won't fail again, that's my word.
My love, I swear that nothing will hurt you,
I’m sick of living in this twisted image of virtue
Yoda's riddles, Mace's high horse,
Obi-Wan preaching on like he knows Force.
There’s a black hole in my dark soul that even that
goodie-goodie Kenobi can’t control
I want more, I want her, I want us to rule together,
Beat death, live forever.
Serve a higher power, higher Force,
Climb the maiden's tower, be their Lord
And these words feel wicked but I won't deny.
This Council's the gravity that I'll defy.
If you’re not the master, then you’re just the slave
I’ll be in my grave before I roll with that
I will bring disaster, but if her it saves
I will pay that price and I will not look back
OBI-WAN/PADME:
Come baack
MACE/SHMI/YODA:
Aah
ANAKIN:
[beatbox]
YODA/MACE:
The Council has spoken
PADME/SHMI:
Ani are you okay, are you okay, Ani?
ANAKIN:
They don’t speak for me.
(x4)
MACE:
We spoke, spoke, spoke
ANAKIN:
The Council's broken
PADME/SHMI:
Are you okay?...Okay…
OBI-WAN:
You're the Chosen One
YODA:
Chosen though he may be
SHMI:
Ani...
(x4)
MACE:
The Council has spoken.
YODA:
At war we are and Chosen though he may be
MACE:
The Council has spoken.
OBI-WAN:
Prophecies
ANAKIN:
…hypocrisies
PADME:
…betray me.
MACE:
The Council has spoken.
YODA:
At war we are and Chosen though he may be
MACE:
The Council has spoken.
OBI-WAN:
Prophecies
ANAKIN:
…Hypocrisies
PADME:
…Betray me.
