Duel of Fates
Star Wars · Qui-Gon
The story in the song
This original song is a Qui-Gon Jinn POV tribute to the most fate-heavy hallway in Star Wars: the Theed duel where calm discipline meets pure rage. It’s built around one idea—when everything is chaos, Qui-Gon chooses the Living Force: breathe, center, act.
The music video follows the duel’s emotional rhythm: gates closing, silence tightening, and Qui-Gon’s choice to kneel—not to rest, but to become still enough to see clearly. It carries the weight of what comes next: a Master falls, a Padawan stands, and the future of the Chosen One shifts in an instant.

Lyrics
Duel of fates - hold the line
Duel of fates - steady mind
Red gates fall; the world goes still
One breath in... I feel the will
At Theed's heart, the bright walls flare
Green light waits in burning air
Maul tests the field, prowls like a beast
I switch my saber off - release
Knees to the floor; eyes shut tight
Centered in the moment's light
Be mindful of the living Force
Not fear, not rush - no second course
Feel, don't think - trust the first true spark
Let the hallway turn to dark
One cycle left; one measured choice
Silence steadies my inner voice
Duel of fates - hold the line
Hold the line - steady mind
Duel of fates - light meets red
Light meets red - no fear of dread
Duel of fates - hear my vow
Hear my vow - the path is now
If I fall, let hope begin
Living force - through loss, we win
Hold the line - steady mind
Hold the line - steady mind
Duel of fates - hold the line
Duel of fates - steady mind
Tatooine dust still clings to me
A child with stars in his eyes
Chosen one - hope I can't unsee
The council doubts; I don't concede
My focus shapes reality
So mine stays here - inside this breath
I will do what I must, and be
More than the fear that names my death
Future shifting - always in motion
Present duty - sharp, unbroken
Through every gate, I choose the now
The gates retract... I stand - somehow
Duel of fates - hold the line
Hold the line - steady mind
Duel of fates - strike and turn
Strike and turn - let anger burn?
Duel of fates - hear my vow
Hear my vow - the path is now
Obi‑Wan, stand when I fall
Living Force - through all, through all
Red gates hum… I close my eyes
In quiet, I can hear the storm
Not one future - thousand skies
One lesson: keep the heart warm
If this is end, I won’t resist
I am the moment, nothing more
To lose a life is not to miss
The living Force behind the door
Gate by gate, the silence breaks
My saber sings; the hallway blurs
Between each strike, my spirit wakes
And fate remembers... fate returns!
Duel of fates - hold the line
Hold the line - steady mind
Feel, don't think - use your instincts
Here and now - where hope begins
Duel of fates - hear my vow
Hear my vow - the path is now
Promise me - train the boy
Train the boy - restore the light
Duel of fates - hold the line
Duel of fates - hold the line
Living force - steady mind
Be mindful of the living Force
Duel… of… fates…
