A Sith looks at Fifty

I know fifty sounds weird, but Darth Vader is supposedly 49 when this song is set, at the end of Return of the Jedi. It is sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffet's A Pirate Looks at Forty

On another Death Star, I've lost to my son
Refused to give in to the Dark Side, the worst has just begun
He nearly won, he nearly won

Watched the Emp'ror shock him, heard him call out to me
And in his despair I thought that their just might be a chance to redeem
Father, he screamed, Father he screamed.

Yes, I am a Jedi
Just twenty years too late
The Republic was dyin' and Padmé was cryin'
I let the Dark Side dominate,
Lost in my hate, lost in my hate

I got my taste of power, ruling behind this mask
But now it's time to destroy the Empire, and restore peace at last
Happened so fast, happened so fast

And I've been hunting Luke down for over three years
In the process killing Ozzel, Needa, and Gen'ral Veers
But I got to stop chokin' I'm finally broken
The galaxy's free once again
Time for my end, time for my end

(Instrumental)

I thought that I lost Padmé, then I discovered my child
Though I ran'em a way, he came back today
Still could manage to smile
Just takes awhile, just takes awhile

Help me take this mask off, one last mechanical sigh
You saw your father behind Darth Vader, Tell your sister that you were right
I've turned to the Light, tell her you were right
(coda)
I've turned to the Light, tell her you were right
