A New Hope, who is the new dope (Ode To Force Power)

Perhaps Darth Bane was right in his power play
the rule of two is the only way
one to command keep those weaker at bay
another in waiting who wants her say

The Emperor was crafty knew how to push Anakin's strings
thought of mom's death, oh how it did sting
eliminated almost all the Jedi with one command
set up the empire and ruled so much of the land

Vader was promised the secret to stop death's call
but Vader wasn't privy to Palpatine's secrets at all
the cloning project that Luke later did face
a battle for history, lightsabers at a dazzling pace

And yet the new Galactic Alliance didn't learn
until too late that the dark side still burned
Jacen Solo would master so many outstanding skills
the light side couldn't contain his quest for a thrill

Even after his sister succeeded in taking Darth Cadeus down
the Jedi were restricted, Luke kicked out of town
Another Sith Lord in the making and no one could see
Darth Krayt rejuvenated the Siths a harsh trajectory

For the Empire was reborn partially because of Alliance mistrust
of the powers of the Jedi, for President Daala, Luke was a bust
shows the cloaks of democracy don't guarantee it will last
for people have a way of ignoring the past

Ruthless leaders seem to provide a more solid, precise rule
kind hearted leaders who show mercy are taken for fools
Machiavelli's words of wisdom seemed learned by the Sith well
And what about the Jedi well we never can tell...
