Blind Guardian "The Soulforged" Anakin Skywalker tribute

This is somewhat of a tribute to Anakin Skywalker. I was sitting with a friend listening to this song and as soon as we read the lyrics we both realized that the lyrics of this song is pretty relevant to Anakin. With that said, this movie is NOT in chronological order with the movie. Instead I tried to create it in sync with the lyrics. So, PLEASE read the lyrics of the song with this video to get the full effect. Enjoy :)

BLIND GUARDIAN "THE SOULFORGED"

I'm not insane
That's how it seems though
Spiteful cruel but wise
Beyond his age
My body fails
My soul will rise

The end of life's immortalized
Disease and agony
And I see death through golden eyes
Beyond the door
There's something more
It seems there's just one way

On through the heat
I've felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me

For a decent price
I've banned kindness from my heart
The spirit of all truth and beauty
Pawned for my desire

And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged
The stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

And through the hour glass
Everything's grey
Everyone's pale
No colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart
The seat of life's empty and cold
Cadaverous you all seem to me
Stillborn but you're still alive
You're still alive

Truth lies in loneliness
When hope is long gone by
I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age
And welcome you precious night

And from the flames
As chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged
The stainless will rise

From a distant time
Voices echo in the hall
"Come and join us
Enter life and everything is gone now"

And through the looking glass
I still fear mortality and its loss in the end
Unlimited power in my hands
The claw of the dragon ascends
"Mourn for his lost soul
He's cursed and condemned"

Each step I take
May it hurt may it ache
Leads me further
Away from the past
But as long as I breathe
Each smile in my bleak face
I'm on my way to find
Back to the peace of mind

And from the flames
As chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged
The stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

I know anyone reading this probably knows this, but the song is actually about Raistlin from the Dragonlance series, and, yes, he is a lot like Anakin in countless ways

[loveismylife21]

I love Blind Guradian and Star wars,your are a genius

[MoonIMover]

Huh.

This song was intended to be about an entirely different fictional character, but you would never tell just from this video.

Now I wonder if George Lucas ever read Dragonlance.
