Father of Mine

To the tune of the same name by Everclear
Filked by Trace and Yav

Father of mine
Tell me what was your sin?
You just closed your eyes
And a whole world disappeared

Father of mine
Take me back to the day
When you were Obi's golden boy
Back before you went astray

I remember dark skies, a target on lock
You had me in your TIE's sights
And I couldn't shake you off
You took out my friend Biggs
You tried to take out Wedge
The Solo came along and flipped you out of the trench

Father of mine
Tell me what's in your head
Old man, you followed me to Hoth
But you did not want me dead
Father of mine
Tell me what's in your heart
When you look back at your dark life, is it tearing you apart?

I was twenty-three
Doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me to find a butt-white guy under a black shiny hood
But you stepped up and saved my life
Palpatine you did kill
Deep down I always knew you were good and I guess I always will

Daddy cut off my hand
My daddy cut off my hand
Then he walked away
Daddy cut off my hand
Then he walked away
My daddy cut off my hand

Father of mine
Tell me what was your sin?
Did you clap your hands
And your life disappeared

Father of mine
Tell me how did you sleep
With the children you abandoned
To take you Dark Side leap
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be indecisive
I will always have shame
Now I am a grown man
With the Force on my own
And I swear I'm not gonna cause
all the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy cut off my hand
Then he walked away
My daddy cut off my hand
Then he walked away
