lyrics



When you love someone - you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone


I've been a Jedi Knight for thirty-five years. It has been everything for me. I've guided my life by the Code, by its philosophy if not always by its exact words. And now, in less than one day, I broke everything I lived for. And I don't regret it a bit.

There is no emotion; there is peace.

I let myself be ruled by emotion. I put my love for him above anything else. The mission, the Jedi, the Republic, my own life. My peace is in his arms and I wouldn't hesitate to do anything to get him back in mine.

There is no passion; there is serenity.

I threw my serenity to the wind. For first time in my adult life, I let all my restraints go free, I focused everything I am to a single purpose: save him. And I felt so alive.

There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

I wouldn't claim ignorance to save myself. I knew what I was doing when I stormed into the mansion, lightsaber ignited and flashing, going after the ones who dared to kidnap my Obi-Wan. I would accept the consequences of my acts if he's all right.

There is no death; there is the Force.

I lost count of all the blood I shed today. I have enough in my lightsaber and clothes to suppose I ended a lot of lives. Everyone who got in my way was sliced without a second thought. The worst part is that I couldn't find the slightest remorse in my soul.

When you love someone - you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
You'd risk it all - no matter what may come

I'm finished as a Jedi, I knew it from the start. My sins are too grave, the Council won't overlook them. But I didn't want him to follow my damnation, he still has a chance.

He's battered and bruised, a Force collar blocking his powers. My blood is boiling, my rage guides my arm. I slice that son of a bitch they call a crown prince in front of him, some blood spills on the remainder of his clothes.

He don't lets me speak. When I free him, he throws himself into my arms, mindless of my blood-stained clothes and skin and kisses me with everything he has, letting all his shields fall. I couldn't help but answer with the same intensity and commitment. A revelation and a damnation at once.

When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone.


One of his captors is still alive, my blow wasn't fatal. But I haven't time to react. He grabs my lightsaber and, in a swift movement, cuts his head from his shoulders. No vacillation, no regret, only a slight satisfaction of vengeance and the warmth that we're now together in this. He turns around, grabs my head and kisses me again, a kiss that claims for my very soul.

The end and the beginning.

When you love someone
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone


I don't know what we are or what we'll do. We are no longer Jedi, but I can't swear we are Sith either. We take the first ship out the planet before the planetary government would be aware of what we did. To have cut in half countless citizens, the crown prince included, will surely upset them. It's headed to Tatooine, but that's not important. It's not Coruscant or any other of the planets with Jedi Temples, that's all that matters.

The Council will send someone after us, I'm sure of that. We are powerful, we are good, we know too much.

I don't care.

We are together for this lifetime and beyond, we are one in body and soul. They could send whoever they want, they could come after us themselves. Nothing matters, they'll end like the ones who dared to hurt my Obi-Wan.

He kisses me, I'm pounding into him. He's all that counts.

Let the universe be damned.

When you love someone - you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone-


End -




When you love someone by Bryan Adams

when you love someone - you'll do anything
you'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sunwhen you love someone
you'll deny the truth - believe a lie
there'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly
but you're lonely nights - have just begun
when you love someone
when you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
and nothin else can ever change your mind
when you want someone - when you need someone
when you love someone...
when you love someone - you'll sacrifice
you'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
you'd risk it all - no matter what may come
when you love someone
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone
