This original song is written as a tribute to Darth Malgus from Star Wars: The Old Republic — the Sith warrior who saw weakness in both Empire and Republic, rejected submission, and chose to tear down any throne that no longer deserved to stand. Built as a dark cinematic GMV, it follows Malgus through war, rebellion, and the ruthless creed that made him one of SWTOR’s most dangerous legends.
This GMV moves through Malgus’s SWTOR legacy in a chronological emotional arc, from the Great War and Coruscant to the shadow of the False Emperor and the later return of a warrior who never stopped treating weakness as something to be cut away. It stays focused on his presence, his violence, and the belief that if an empire rots, it deserves to be broken.

Lyrics
From Alderaan flames to Coruscant stone,
I came to break the throne.
Break the throne!
I was war before they learned my name,
Black fleets falling out of flame,
Alderaan burned, the Temple bled,
Love marched beside me through the red.
Treaties fade, but scars remain,
Courts and councils rot in chains,
While weak men fed on fear and lies,
I chased the dark beyond their skies.
Unknown Regions called me farther,
Not for peace, for something harder,
No more rot, no thinner creed,
Only strength fit to lead.
Break the throne, break the chain,
Coruscant still knows my name,
I don't kneel, I don't atone,
Darth Malgus walks alone.
Break the throne, split the sky,
Empire lives or Empire dies,
If it rots, I'll carve the stone,
Darth Malgus breaks the throne. (Break the throne)
Ilum ice and crystal light,
I raised a new empire in the night,
Both sides turned their blades on me,
Made a False Emperor of me.
Fire and steel, I would not end,
Ossus saw me rise again,
Dantooine heard the warning call,
I was the wound behind the walls.
Elom kept the ruin sleeping,
Temple of Nul, old secrets speaking,
Hunt me through the storm and code,
Every chain becomes my road.
Not Republic, not your Sith,
Not the lie you rule them with,
If the galaxy must bleed,
Let the future learn my creed.
Cut me down, I still return,
More machine and more to burn,
Name me traitor, name me doom,
I will be your dark made new.
Break the throne, break the chain,
Coruscant still knows my name,
I don't kneel, I don't atone,
Darth Malgus walks alone.
Break the throne, split the sky,
Empire lives or Empire dies,
If it rots, I'll carve the stone,
Darth Malgus breaks the throne.
Break the throne. Break the throne.
Break the throne!
