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.
