I've wanted to write something Star Wars inspired for a long time, and seeing Rogue One last year really got my creative juices flowing! What resulted is a Jyn Erso inspired rock anthem about being the start of a chain reaction, and learning the true cost of revolution. Rogue One definitely placed itself firmly among my favorite SW films, and it has me very excited for The Last Jedi coming up. Hopefully I'll be working on a song about that very soon!

This song and my other recent uploads are part of Dystopian Fiction, which you can find right here:

Lyrics:

Under the shadow of the chosen
They only know the absolute
Enemies
Born to prey upon the broken
In refusal of the truth

I am the catalyst awakened
I am they reason they're afraid
Somebody has to keep on trying
Our only hope is far away
So in a world of silent people
We dared to make a sound
Sometimes the fire has to take you
For you to burn them to the ground

For a thief but not a soldier
Comes a chance to set them back
If I can
I will strive to leave an ember
For the fires of the attack

I don't know myself
Better than I know my purpose
Chances of success
Going down, I'm feeling nervous
Holding on for what?
Maybe faith, but it feels useless
One last shot for hope
Steal the key to kill the ruthless
Does it matter at all?
Does it matter at all, will we ever win?

Just a soldier on the ground
I will burn them down
Distant lights and distant sounds
I will burn them down
