So you want to know
About Grand Master Pravus?
(Sorry, *Darth* Pravus)

Well, he killed my friend
and former master, Sarin.
(He had to cheat, though)

Yet now, he's *my* boss -
Sar sent me to train with him.
(To avenge his death?)

We will have vengeance
For New Tython, for our friends,
And for Solari.

He is the chaos.
He is the dark force within,
Driving all to hate.

He is our purpose.
Even if he takes what's left,
We will have vengeance.

While Misium's path
may never cross the GM's,
they fight together.

Under Muz, the light
side was allowed to flourish.
But now things have changed.

Pravus, Plagueis, and
Misum especially
will crush the Jedi.

A wrath has now turned,
What traffic can Light now have?
With Darkness unleashed,

New Tython's ashes,
Cry out in horror for blood,
Will Jedi listen?

There will be many,
Ruins lost in weeping death,
Until his throne falls.

Who is Darth Pravus?
Who is this spark of hatred,
whose stare burns whole worlds?

Is he a seeker
of power? But for himself
or the Brotherhood?

Is he friend or foe?
Is he a mass murderer?
Or is he just Hate?

Pravus ascendant
Student of Sarin and Jac
Son of Clan Plagueis

Once the Shadow Hand
He leads the Iron Legion
Dark Lord of the Sith

Beware the Inquisitors!
Flee Pravus's wrath!

Darth Pravus the Mad.
Undesirables beware.
He will destroy you.

White-robed potentate.
Murderer of Aristan.
Lord of Lunacy.

He heads the darkest.
Depraved killers follow him.
All others are foe.

There was a Pravus
Who once went by as Sarin
Darth names are silly

Pravus is in charge
Ordering around the mob
To do his bidding

Kill all the lighties!
That is the rule of the day
But most ignore it
