More Than the War
Star Wars - The Old Republic · Imperial Romances
The story in the song
More Than the War imagines separate romantic futures for the Imperial companions and allies of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Each voice offers a different life after the fighting, from Vette's freedom and Quinn's effort to rebuild trust to Lana's quiet evenings and Arcann's work to repair what he destroyed.
These are alternative futures, not one shared romance timeline. Their chorus brings them together around a simple hope: the people shaped by war can still choose homes, love and a future beyond it.

Lyrics
We were supposed to be weapons.
What if we became more?
We'll rob a vault, then catch the dawn;
Two grins, one ship, the collar gone.
No master waiting at the door -
Just you, and room for one heist more.
No order makes betrayal right.
I'll earn your trust beyond tonight.
Your coat beside my uniform -
Our quiet room beyond the storm.
We'll give the hunted room to sleep,
And guard the light we swore to keep.
I see your soul; I choose to stay -
We'll change the Empire day by day.
No saints, no masks, no sweet disguise.
I see the hunger in your eyes.
Our house will rise; our rivals fall -
I want you, darkness, scars and all.
New scars, new missions, same old grin;
You pick the fight, I'll get us in.
A shooting range behind our door -
Beat my score. I'll ask for more.
We are more than the war!
We are the days still to come!
Worlds to discover and homes to restore,
More than the battles we won!
Raise every voice to the stars -
The future is ours!
We'll build a school, our windows wide;
My light will not be cast aside.
No master's shadow over me -
Two equals, choosing what we'll be.
New ports, old blasters, stolen wine;
Your dangerous laugh keeps pace with mine.
A pirate's oath, a course for two -
No last horizon without you.
No ancient lord commands my blade.
I choose the bond our rites have made.
We'll hunt beneath an open sky;
No tomb, no chain - just you and I.
We'll take the work that lets us sleep,
Then buy a place that's ours to keep.
I'll hack the lock when you lose the key -
Some things won't change. You're stuck with me.
We'll teach our young the songs I know,
And mend their armor as they grow.
We'll make our name mean more than shame -
Two hunters guarding one new flame.
We are more than the war!
We are the days still to come!
Worlds to discover and homes to restore,
More than the battles we won!
Raise every voice to the stars -
The future is ours!
Don't buy a fence; I'll cut it down.
We'll steal a ship and skip this town.
No saint, no leash, no sweet routine -
I'll come back. Don't make a scene.
We'll build the peace no fleet could buy,
And taste new colors in the sky.
A thousand voices, one clear choice -
Through all of them, we know your voice.
We'll build where no one hunts my gift,
Where dawn means tea, not one more shift.
Still proud to serve, but not alone -
We'll make that distant outpost home.
No callsign on our garden gate;
No handler asking why we're late.
I'll learn what silence ought to do -
Not hide a lie. Make room for you.
Behind the banners, past the snow,
A warmer world we'll come to know.
No stolen hour before you roam -
A place within my house called home.
We are more than the war!
We are the days still to come!
Worlds to discover and homes to restore,
More than the battles we won!
Raise every voice to the stars -
The future is ours!
You crossed the fire and brought me through.
I'll spend the years I gained with you.
One bridge, two blades, the stars ahead -
A future claimed, not left for dead.
We'll raise a roof when guns fall still;
I'll keep my stripes, my stubborn will.
No child of ours will wear a chain -
We'll make this Empire worth the pain.
We'll close the council doors at night;
Your tired smile, the candlelight.
No title when you say my name -
Just us, and one unfinished game.
Your love won't make my victims fade.
I'll mend the ruins that I made.
Then leave my armor by our door -
And learn what these two hands are for.
We are more than the war!
We are the days still to come!
Worlds to discover and homes to restore,
More than the battles we won!
Raise every voice to the stars -
The future is ours!
The future is ours!
We are more than the war!
