Verse 1 Ice Planet Hoth, rebels on the run Vader on the hunt, their party's almost done Falcon blasts away, but young Luke knows his fate Swamp world Dagobah, where Jedi powers await Chorus Empire strikes back, darkness on the rise Dark Lords and blasters, laser beams in the skies Heroes fight for freedom, a flicker of hope remains Against the crushing power and the evil that sustains Verse 2 "Do or do not, there is no try," Yoda speaks Ancient master trains, the Force within Luke seeks X-Wing in the muck, the power starts to flow While on Cloud City, a trap begins to grow Chorus Empire strikes back, darkness on the rise Dark Lords and blasters, laser beams in the skies Heroes fight for freedom, a flicker of hope remains Against the crushing power and the evil that sustains Bridge "Impressive, most impressive," Vader takes the stage Battles his own son, consumed by rage "No, I am your father," the revelation rings Betrayal and despair, what this dark twist brings Outro Han frozen in carbonite, Lando finds his heart Leia feels Luke's pain, their world torn apart But a rebel spirit lives, the fight has just begun Against the evil empire, until the battle's won (Final guitar solo fades into blaster sound effects)
