Description "Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page

Now all I have, all I am
All I ever was is here, on the page
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
It’s all a lie so let it burn

I hope it’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void

Come night, test my will, test my soul
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
Guide through the dark ‘til the morning comes

All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own..."

- Stratovarius: If the story is over

I like to imagine that in all those years of being in service of the dark side, Anakin thought about his earlier life and couldn't help himself to feel regret. You seriously should listen to this song, it's one of the most epic songs I've ever heard   and it fits this scene so well, I got inspired by it right away

This has been touched upon so many times, but it is still important to point it out; Vader still couldn't get over how he might the wrong choice for all the right reasons.  It isn't until after 20+ years of being Palpatine's slave that he finally wakes up.  Until then, he has definitely shed many tears behind that mask; thinking about what he and Padme had together; and could've had, had he killed Sidious right then and there.  As for the lyrics, they seem to fit him very well; I might have to listen to it; I'm even familiar with the band!  Good job!

BTW I once did a songfic about Anakin Skywalker's story; from his transformation to his redemption.  You can check it out here if you like: fav.me/d5ouxjs

I know, it was much more simple to hide in the dark side than to face the truth... Sure, I'll check it out
