The Wrath They Forged
Star Wars - The Old Republic · Emperor's Wrath
The story in the song
This original song is written as a tribute to Emperor's Wrath from Star Wars: The Old Republic. "The Wrath They Forged" follows the Sith Warrior after betrayal, turning a weapon of obedience into the judge of the master who thought he owned him.
The song treats the Sith Warrior as more than a dark-side power fantasy. It leans into the sharper truth of the Emperor's Wrath arc: loyalty exploited, identity reforged in fire, and the moment the blade turns back toward the hand that forged it.

Lyrics
You sent me out in borrowed thunder
To make your prophecies breathe
Every order tasted iron
Every mercy buried deep
Then Quesh went black around me
And your dagger chose my back
You never wanted loyal power
You wanted chains that could attack
But the hand that crawled from fire
Came back with a different name
I am the wrath you forged
Now I decide who falls
You crowned me for your war
Then hid behind your walls
False voices break like glass
When they meet the blade they made
I am the wrath you forged
And now you're afraid
On Voss I heard the silence
Of the mouth you locked away
On Corellian smoke and engines
All your secret kingdoms frayed
The Council watched you shaking
When I stepped into the hall
No throne, no god, no master
Gets to name me small
If power is only hunger
Let it starve against my will
I'd rather break your empire
Than become your puppet still
I am the wrath you forged
Now I decide who falls
You built me for betrayal
Now I outlive your walls
False voices break like glass
When they meet the blade they made
I am the wrath you forged
Remember who you made
