Stanza 1
For the Sith on D'Qar arose a new foe

With the Sword's decree

That this was rebellion was plain to see

The Council's decision was a swift death blow

These rebels could not stand

This was Sith land

Thus began the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 2
Ren sought an example for those who rebel

He ordered his daughter Praefuro

Would be the rebellion's death blow

The Sword sought to hear their knell

With the Erebus' might

She spread hatred and fright

The birth of the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 3
Spies of the Republic heard whispers that twirled

The rebellion's great desire

<p style="text-align:center;">To join the Republican choir

<p style="text-align:center;">Was their chance to claim this rich new world

<p style="text-align:center;">As the people rebelled

<p style="text-align:center;">The system could be held

<p style="text-align:center;">They sought to end the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 4
<p style="text-align:center;">With Praefuro at the head of the Sith attack fleet

<p style="text-align:center;">There stood one thing in the way of a Repubic assault

<p style="text-align:center;">This might stood a chance to be a great halt

<p style="text-align:center;">Any attack could mean an easy defeat

<p style="text-align:center;">Yet one Admiral sought glory

<p style="text-align:center;">This would be his story

<p style="text-align:center;">Opha Diaa craved victory against the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 5
<p style="text-align:center;">Although some thought that Diaa's ideas did lack

<p style="text-align:center;">He had already decided his course

<p style="text-align:center;">With his flasgship the Reverent the head of his force

<p style="text-align:center;">The Admiral commenced his attack

<p style="text-align:center;">His initial strike failed

<p style="text-align:center;">The Empire prevailed

<p style="text-align:center;">They would not conclude the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 6
<p style="text-align:center;">Diaa's initial failure had not been unnoticed or discreet

<p style="text-align:center;">The Admiral's attack had been self injurious

<p style="text-align:center;">The Republic Admiralty became furious

<p style="text-align:center;">Opha Diaa was allowed one strike before he had to retreat

<p style="text-align:center;">If he failed to see reason

<p style="text-align:center;">He faced court-martial for treason

<p style="text-align:center;">He had a single chance against the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 7
<p style="text-align:center;">The Admiral's new orders were a venom filled bite

<p style="text-align:center;">It was time to break the Sith blockade

<p style="text-align:center;">Yet this Republic attack was a hopeless crusade

<p style="text-align:center;">There would be no winning this fight

<p style="text-align:center;">As his fleet shattered and burned

<p style="text-align:center;">The foolish Admiral learned

<p style="text-align:center;">He could not stop the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 8
<p style="text-align:center;">His plans foiled and his situation dire

<p style="text-align:center;">Though with all options spent

<p style="text-align:center;">Diaa would not relent

<p style="text-align:center;">His order came to open fire

<p style="text-align:center;">Yet the Erebus held fast

<p style="text-align:center;">'Til the Reverent's last blast

<p style="text-align:center;">There was Sith victory in the Storms Over D'Qar

Stanza 9
<p style="text-align:center;">A shot from the Erebus went through his ship's hull

<p style="text-align:center;">The fleet's distruction and the Reverent's demise

<p style="text-align:center;">Would serve as this day's only prize

<p style="text-align:center;">This Admiral's past victories were null

<p style="text-align:center;">This foolish choice to interlope

<p style="text-align:center;">His truly hopeless hope

<p style="text-align:center;">Lead to Opha Diaa's end in the Storms Over D'Qar
