Duel of the Fates: Ancient Cursed Lyrics

In short:

The final fight song of Star Wars: the Phantom Menace, The epic and famous song in which Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi duel with Darth Maul, resulting in the death of Qui-Gon and Darth Maul, is a cursed song.

I love Star Wars, not Disney, Star Wars. The orchestral music of Duel of the Fates is fantastic, and is one of my favorites.

However, the oral lyrics come from an ancient Assyrian poem, and do contain concepts and words which do imply or speak a curse. The ancient Assyrians were very religious of the ellipse demonic variety.  The poem was about a war, and about death, and they believed that, cursing your enemies was a big part of war.

It is possible that when you were singing that song to yourself, being a Star Wars fan, you would be speaking a curse on yourself. This is been my own self experience, and it’s something that I had to pray over. I will hum the tune, but I don’t sing the lyrics now.

Especially if you are a Christian, you should not be unaware of the Devil’s schemes. You should be frank and realistic about the reality of the spiritual realm, even though it is unseen. Jesus Christ acknowledged all of these types of things. You should be mindful of this, because the spiritual effects of speaking a curse have very real practical results in peoples’ lives.

Qui-Gon Jinn himself is the object of the song, or rather, it’s focus. The song is talking about death and destruction, and the conquest of a strong tower in a battle. He was the steong tower holding up the Jedi with humanity, compassion and common sense. The fall of Jinn Resulted in a cascade of affects that launched the Jedi order into the state it would need to be in to cause the downfall of the Jedi, most importantly, lack of anyone (except Anakin) who dissented from the broken Jedi code. without the wise and good Qui-Gon to be a true and worthwhile voice of dissent against the Jedi code, Anakin, unfortunately, was pushed into this inhuman system, and simply couldn’t accommodate to it. The fallen Jedi master would’ve been able to train Anakin in the light side properly, while retaining his humanity and compassion, teaching him to balance the Jedi life with being a human. Instead, Aniken got the uptight, fearful, traumatized, young, and inexperienced, Obi-Wan, and this angry stiff upbringing did not help Anakin stay on the light side in the long run. The fall of Qui-Gon also resulted in the fall of count, Dooku, and the rise of the confederacy of independent systems.

This cursed Assyrian song, thousands of years old, is talking about the doom of a strong tower, conquered and destroyed in a battle.

This tower is used as a metaphor here which represents Qui-Gon Jin, and also all the rest of the adherents of the light side. The ancient poem from which it is derived is Assyrian and thousands of years old, from Bible times, yet, it’s still details death, and it pronounces death on the subject, focus, or object, of the song.

If you sing the oral lyrics song, you might accidentally be cursing yourself. I do not believe that there’s anything wrong with the orchestra, music of the song, however.
