Went to Darth Vader my way
handcuffs on my hands
walker came to meet us
rising up in the air
up ahead in the distance
a shuttle platform, at night
the air grew colder and my face grew grim
it was my father, all right
There he stood in the doorway
Commander had done well
and I was thinking to myself
I`d never noticed- his helmet`s a bell.
Then he lit up my saber
and he showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the hotel of the Emp`ror
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
hanging there in space.
Big as a moon is the hotel of the Emp`ror
What a giant sphere (What a giant sphere)
And the guy is here!
His body evil and twisted
He wants me for his own ends
His confidence is his weaknesses
Mine`s my friends.
Now we stand in the throne room
see the fleet, and I fret.
Some stand to remember
Some stand to forget.
So I call up my saber
activates with a whine, and he said
Good, now use that aggression and fear
Like you`re father, you`re mine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Must be those two red guys out of sight
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the hotel of the Emperor
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
hanging here in space.
We`re living it up at the hotel of the Emp`ror
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
For those rebel guys!
Shadows and low ceiling
A brilliant place to hide, (and Dad said)
So, you have a sister here
She`ll love the Dark Side.
In the master`s chambers
I drove him to defeat
His master couldn`t change my side;
I got sizzled like some meat!
Last thing I remember, he was
lifted off the floor
and thrown into the passage black
to the main reactor core.
Relax, said Anakin, I was
programmed but I`m free
You can check out any time you like
Go my son, leave me!
