Candle in the Wind (Star Wars)
filked by Ken Keisel
from "Candle in the Wind"
as performed by Elton John

During the Battle at Lansing Station in May 1998 (aka Media West*Con), Princess Leia turned to the Dark Side. In her memory, and to honor her accomplishments, I created this version of "Candle in the Wind," performed at the "Not Dead But Dark" memorial service at Lansing Station in May 1999.


Goodbye Rebel Queen
May you ever grow in our hearts
You had the strength to stand your ground
As your world was torn apart

You walked into the battle
And you seemed to bear the pain
Of the future that you lost
And a youth that never came

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
As the rain set in
And your spirit will always guide us
As we climb another hill
Your candle turned dark long before
Your legend ever will

Emptiness and loss
Were feelings that could never fade
You had no time for happiness
The dues Princess Leia paid

Even when we won
Oh, you knew it wasn't through
While the Empire fought us back
you could never be just you

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
As the rain set in
And your spirit will always guide us
As we climb another hill
Your candle turned dark long before
Your legend ever will

Goodbye Rebel Queen
May you ever grow in our hearts
You had the strength to stand your ground
As your world was torn apart

Goodbye Rebel Queen
From the man in the old Falcon
Who saw beyond "Your Worshipness"
To the queen you might have been
