Guitar: Nick Stoubis
Bioware, EA

Lyrics:
Enchanters!
The time has come to be alive
In the Circle of Magi, where we will thrive
With our brothers.

Enchanters remind
That time will not unwind.
The dragon’s crooked spine,
Will never straighten into line.

What we plea will be
A faithful end decree,
Where a man will not retreat
From the defeat of his fathers.

Enchanters!
A time has come for battle lines.
We will cut these knotted ties,
And some may live and some may die.

Enchanter, come to me
Enchanter, come to me
Enchanter, come to see
Can-a you, can-a you come to see,
As you once were blind
In the light now you can sing?
In our strength we can rely,
And history will not repeat.

Enchanter, come to me
Enchanter, come to me
Enchanter, come to see
Can-a you, can-a you come to see,
As you once were blind
In the light now you can sing?
In our strength we can rely,
And history will not repeat.

The best tavern track. Seriously though the bards are amazing in this game.

[RevoltLePetit]

If I get a good profession when I'm older, I would definitely make a business and set up a tavern of sorts in a city. I'd call it "Edom's Tavern" and I will design it so it resembles the old style taverns, for example the kind you see in TES: Skyrim and in DA:I. They'd have this rustic, medieval feeling. The lighting will be dim to insure a comfortable and laid back atmosphere. The walls lined with candles as well as the tables and a big fire place in the end. The tavern will be like a Starbucks, but old style. Just an idea...

Edit: woah... it's been 5 years and I completely forgot about this comment. It's crazy to see how many of you really liked the idea of Tavern/Cafe. Unfortunately, I have not developed this idea as I'm a college student still. Nonetheless, the idea is still something I ponder so it's not beyond possible. Hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times. Thank you all for the support!

[SkyExplosion]

I remember spending 30-40 minutes just standing by bards to hear these songs.
Man DAI is a great game love it.

[LatinEmperor]

Marydens songs make you sad and nostalgic for someone else's past.
They're simply amazing

[abeearoundapomegranate]

I've clocked up 35 hours on this game so far, and I'm sure that 34 of them were spent in the tavern in Haven, listening to this song on repeat.

Never touched this game in my life but damn I stay listening to it

[kathic]

The song is about the division among the mages. Some support an end to the war and a restoration of the Circles while others believe that this is their last chance for freedom.

[JiHottist]

These lyrics and the way she sings it evoke more emotion than I thought possible from a videogame.

Bioware truly are amazing, it's a shame a game this involved gets mediocre sales, yet a game like CoD gets millions with half the effort.

[Turanar]

The first time I heard this song in game, it was at Val Royaux Café and the bard there sing in french. It was quite a surprise because even if I speak french, I play Bioware's game in english.

[HomemDasLetras]

Man, the versions are so much different... They both add so much, and yet totally unique perspectives to the rebellion. While the english version is much more about what appears to be an impossible struggle but from which the mages will not retreat after so much has been fought; the french one really celebrates the rebellion. It talks about a moment where all mages finally come together in one circle and about how the wrath of the dragon will never fade.

[PanicSystemError]

This is actually a traditional Irish hornpipe named Humours of Tullycrine. It's a lovely tune to play, delighted when I heard this being used in the game :)

[annissarh]

I sang this one in a pub once, and before I started I said into the mic ‘Anders, this one’s for you’. My friends found it funny that Anders was just a fictional character, but I find that we don’t aknowledge enough characters that inspire us deeply as much a real person might.

This song is so lovely and yeah, it speaks to our Blondie the most.

[aaronh]

I sat in the tavern with this song playing in the background for a good 10 minutes when I first came across it.  Catchy!

[philpyung]

I wish you could request songs in the tavern.

This is my favorite one.

[najahansen]

Dragon Age is one of the only games - if not *the* only game - where I actually stop to listen. Yes, the songs in Skyrim and TESO are good, but they cannot wake the feelings I have when I listen to the tavern songs from DAI. It is quite possibly also the only game in which I've actually been *really emotionally* invested in. It's a beautiful story. And seeing old friends from Origins was just perfect.

I need to put down Watch Dogs and replay DAI.

[magusarcanum]

This is one of the most beautiful creations I've ever heard.

[sequoiaaaa]

all of the tavern songs in this game are REALLY good

[ZephyrusMapping]

Everyone's thinking of Anders, but I think the sad and peaceful tone of the song fits Bethany more

[goobienicole]

I definitely stuck around in the Cafe to listen to this song. This aspect of the game reminds me strongly of Skyrim, which I love. I can see Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Skyrim all in this game.
