No Chains, Only Victory
Star Wars - The Old Republic · Sith Legends
The story in the song
This original Star Wars: The Old Republic tribute brings Six Sith Legends - Revan, Vitiate, Darth Marr, Darth Malgus, Tulak Hord, and Darth Jadus - into one mythic warning about passion, power, and the refusal to kneel.
The bridge admits they were never brothers and never agreed; what unites them is the creed that outlived every empire they shaped.

Lyrics
Six names carved where the starlight dies.
Six wills that taught the dark to rise.
I saved the Republic, then brought it to heel,
They tore out my past
but could not break my will.
Both light and the darkness still answer my name:
Revan - the mask no betrayal could tame.
I emptied a world just to lengthen my breath,
Wore bodies and empires, survived every death.
A century kneels, then another must fall -
Vitiate, the hunger that swallowed them all.
Different crowns. One ancient creed.
Desire is law. The strong shall lead.
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
PASSION TO STRENGTH - STRENGTH INTO POWER!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
POWER TO VICTORY - THIS IS OUR HOUR!
PEACE IS A LIE! HEAR THE OLD CODE RING!
WE KNEEL TO NO ONE - NO MASTER, NO KING!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
THE FORCE SHALL FREE US!
I carried the Empire its ruler betrayed,
Bound rival ambitions before it could fade.
When death wore a crown, I refused to kneel -
Darth Marr fell standing; his will did not yield.
I brought down the Temple; Coruscant knew flame,
Then turned on an Empire too rotten to change.
I buried my weakness with all that I loved -
Darth Malgus bows to no master above.
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
PASSION TO STRENGTH - STRENGTH INTO POWER!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
POWER TO VICTORY - THIS IS OUR HOUR!
PEACE IS A LIE! HEAR THE OLD CODE RING!
WE KNEEL TO NO ONE - NO MASTER, NO KING!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
THE FORCE SHALL FREE US!
I conquered the living, bound monsters in stone,
Made hatred my kingdom and darkness my throne.
The Gathering Darkness still speaks through the sword -
The tombs guard the echo of Tulak Hord.
I died by design; every shadow obeyed,
Held death over worlds while the Empire decayed.
No throne and no banner - just terror made law:
Darth Jadus, the hand that no witness ever saw.
Mask and monarch. Guardian, blade.
Warlord and shadow - six scars never fade.
We never were brothers. We never agreed.
Yet every dark empire was born from one creed.
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
PASSION TO STRENGTH - STRENGTH INTO POWER!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
POWER TO VICTORY - THIS IS OUR HOUR!
PEACE IS A LIE! HEAR THE OLD CODE RING!
WE KNEEL TO NO ONE - NO MASTER, NO KING!
NO CHAINS! ONLY VICTORY!
THE FORCE SHALL FREE US!
Six names. One warning.
The dark remembers.
