In days of old, a hero rose,
A Jedi knight, his power chose.
Anakin Skywalker, son of Tatooine,
His destiny to change the galaxy's scene.

A boy with dreams, a heart of gold,
But fate had plans, his path foretold.
The dark side called, its whispers strong,
And Anakin's will, it led him wrong.

He fell from grace, his heart consumed,
By fear and anger, he was doomed.
The Jedi code, he cast aside,
And in his rage, he lost his pride.

With a heart full of pain, he turned to strife,
And became the Sith Lord, Darth Vader, for life.
A tragic tale, of a hero's fall,
His spirit broken, his heart appalled.

In the end, he found redemption true,
And saved his son, his love shone through.
But the cost was high, his life was spent,
A tragic end, for the one who was meant,

To bring balance to the Force, and peace to all,
Anakin Skywalker, a hero's fall.
