Mos Espa Oath

[Verse 1] [XANDER] Mos Espa wakes in heat and dust Slave Quarters Row, we go where it hurts Obi-Wan called, we heard the plea Not waiting on suits in the Senate sea They sit so high in polished chairs Talking of losses like they’ve been there [VELVETTE] “Acceptable” — what a pretty word From mouths that’ve never heard a blaster heard [XANDER] My red blade bites, my blue one turns Djem So, Vaapad, Jar'Kai burns If the shadows crawl through the lanes tonight We cut them out and bring back light [VELVETTE] And if they call that reckless, fine Let them choke on their own straight line [Pre-Chorus] [ALL] We’re done with speeches Done with screens Done with men who call it peace When they’ve never bled in the sand like we have [Chorus] [XANDER + ANAKIN] We do our jobs We do our jobs No Senate prayer Will stay our hands We guard the weak We guard the weak On Tatooine We take our stand [VELVETTE + AHSOKA] If they call it defiance [XANDER] Let them talk [VELVETTE + AHSOKA] We’re Jedi Knights [ALL] And we do our jobs [Verse 2] [VELVETTE] Ahsoka’s grin, that fearless spark Anakin storms in, leaving marks Sibling souls with a battle scar Somehow that bond got us this far [XANDER + VELVETTE] He says “I hate this place,” then laughs Like the galaxy’s joke just cracked Ahsoka rolls her eyes and smirks “Try not to die in the first three turns” [XANDER] We track the rumor, cold and clear Sith whispers hiding in the fear Behind the carts and rusted chains Under the blame, under the names [ALL] And every coward in the upper rows Can keep their distance, keep their clothes We’ve got the truth in our crosshairs now And Mos Espa’s learning how [Pre-Chorus] [ALL] No more waiting No more spin When the dark comes crawling in We meet it head-on, every time [Chorus] [XANDER + ANAKIN] We do our jobs We do our jobs No Senate prayer Will stay our hands We guard the weak We guard the weak On Tatooine We take our stand [VELVETTE] If they call it defiance [XANDER] Let them talk [VELVETTE] We’re Jedi Knights [ALL] And we do our jobs [Bridge] [VELVETTE] Tell the Senate this plain We know the cost of pain You don’t get to write the grave If you’ve never walked the blaze [ALL] Let them keep their fine contempt Their clean robes, their false consent We’ll be the hands in the dust That remember what justice must [ALL] For the children in the row For the names they’ll never know For the vow we chose to keep For the broken, for the weak [Final Chorus] [XANDER + ANAKIN] We do our jobs We do our jobs No Senate prayer Will stay our hands We guard the weak We guard the weak On Tatooine We take our stand [VELVETTE] Let the hypocrites rage [XANDER + ANAKIN] Let them rot [VELVETTE + AHSOKA] We’re Jedi Knights [ALL] And we do our jobs [Outro] [VELVETTE] Red and blue in the dawn Purple fire keeps burning on Side by side, we face the dark And we leave our mark And we leave our mark [XANDER] And we leave our mark!
