[AFluffyDragon]

First time I went into a tavern in the game I just stopped and got chills by how good the songs were. Did not expect it. Love this style of music. I did not leave the tavern for ages xD

[hufflepuffler]

Sad to say Krem never paid attention to the songs. He was too busy standing on the chair

[xxMiraclesMay]

"Oh, Grey Warden" makes me so fucking sad. It especially hurts if you recently played Origins.

[BulbaSaruman]

I wish i could have had a bard with me while i was slaying dragons across Thedas. Bioware did an amazing job with the soundtrack

I DID IT
I FINALLY FINISHED LEARNING ALL OF THEM ON PIANO

[GrimsArchive]

"Rise"
Find me still searching
For someone to lead me
Can you guide me
To the revolt inside me

Promise
Surviving
The Breach

Promise
Surviving
The Breach
In the sky

Templar
Igniting
Fire inside me

Maker
Remind me
Gone are the days
Of our peace

Now we reside
In the great divide

No promise
Surviving
The Breach
In the sky



"Once We Were"
Once we were
In our peace with our lives assured

One we were
Not afraid of the dark

Once we sat in our kingdom
With hope and pride

Once we ran through
The fields with great strides

We held the Fade
And the demon's flight
So far from our children
And from our lives

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life

Once we raised
Up our chalice in victory

Once we sat
In the light of our dreams

Once we were
In our homeland with strength and might

Once we were
Not afraid of the night

We held the Fade
And the demon's flight
So far from our children
And from our lives

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life



"Enchanter"
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 you, can 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 you, can 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



"Empress of Fire"
Empress of fire
In the reign of the lion
Eclipsed in the eye
Of the empire
Of we Orlesians

Empress of fire
What season may come
We fight for the day
You'll restore our heart
And bring us
To glory

We are
Forever
In your graces

Empress of fire
Save us everyone
The nation reviles
The course is but run
And end has begun

Empress of fire
Believe in us all
Embrace us with arms
And dress us with swords
And light up our hearts
With blood so bold

We are
Forever
In your graces

Empress of fire
In the reign of the lion
Eclipsed in the eye
Of the empire
Of we Orlesians

Empress of fire
What season may come
We fight for the day
You'll restore our heart
Bring us
To glory



"I Am the One"
I feel sun
Through the ashes in the sky

Where's the one
Who will guide us into the night

What's begun
Is the war that will force this divide

What's to come
Is fire and the end of time

I am the one
Who can recount what we've lost

I am the one
Who will live on

I have run
Through the fields of pain and sighs

I have fought
To see the other side

I am the one
Who can recount what we've lost

I am the one
Who will live on



"Nightengale's Eyes"
Nightengale's eyes
What secret lies
In their worth

Raven's tears they cry
But all the while
They softly lie and spy on you

Nightengale's eyes
What will they find
Left behind

Craven master spy
With heart remiss
For those who could not find the truth

We're blinded
So we're hiding
Dying to be

We're hiding
From the fighting
Longing to see

We're waiting
For someone to speak
And set us all free

Nightingale's eyes
Can free the ties
On our hands

Craven master spies
Can they find
The key that can unlock the past

We're hiding
From the fighting
Longing to see

We're waiting
For someone to speak
And set us all free... free



"Maker"
Maker
Have you left me here

Temple
Sacred Ashes

Tragic
Mark upon our land

Sky fall
Let darkness reign
On thee

Now flee
From the dragon's heart

Warring
Battle-scarred eyes

Breach
Into the Fade has come

Demon
Please spare my life
And our sons



"Sera Was Never"
Sera was never quite an agreeable girl
Her tongue tells tales of rebellion
But she was so fast
And quick with her bow
No one quite knew where she came from

Sera was never quite the quietest girl
Her attacks are loud and they're joyful
But she knew the ways of nobler men
And she knew just how to enrage them

She would always like to say
"Why change the past,
when you can own this day?"
Today she will fight
To keep her way
She's a rogue and a thief
And she'll tempt your fate

Sera was never quite the wealthiest girl
Some say she lives in a tavern
But she was so sharp
And quick with her bow
Arrows strike like a dragon

Sera was never quite the gentlest girl
Her eyes were sharp like a razor
But she knew the ways of commoner men
And she knew just how to use them

She would always like to say
"Why change the past,
when you can own this day?"
Today she will fight
To keep her way
She's a rogue and a thief
And she'll tempt your fate



"Samson's Tale"
Samson, Templar fame
Raise your shield of shame

Samson's letter caught
Left unfought, defamed

Armor laced with blood
Shall reclaim his name

Samson's broken heart
Shall revoke his claim

Samson knight in red
He hath lost his way

Samson martyr rage
Soon the world will pay



"Oh, Grey Warden"
Oh, Grey Warden
What have you done?
The oath you have taken
Is all but broken

All is undone
Demons have come
To destroy this peace
We have had for so long

Ally or Foe?
Maker only knows
Ally or Foe?
The Maker only knows

The stronghold lives on
And the army's reborn
Compelled to forge on
What will we become?

Can you be forgiven
When the cold grave has come

Or will you have won
Or will battle rage on

Oh, Grey Warden
What have you done?
The oath you have taken
Is all but broken

All is undone
Ash in the sun
Cast into Darkness
The light we had won

Ally or Foe?
Maker only knows
Ally or Foe?
The Maker only knows

The stronghold lives on
And the army's reborn
Compelled to forge on
What will we become?

Can you be forgiven
When the cold grave has come

Or will you have won
Or will battle rage on

[cjpatz]

"I am the one" is the song at the end in the credits after you beat origins.. It is sung in Elven, the bard in inquisition sings it in English.. Love that song..

[Kathryn]

Guess I'm the only one who is in love with Oh, Grey Warden. I remember going into a tavern, stopping and listening, and almost started crying. I have a soft spot for Wardens though, thanks to origins.

[Cinderspark]

I can't be the one who was getting ready to save the world, stopped by the tavern to talk to someone or other and went "hold up! world can wait, gotta listen to this song!"

[DarthPingu]

empress of fire...

what a first song to run into! magical!

[bennettflores]

I thought songs in Skyrim, like Age of Oppression or Age of Aggression were pretty good. Then I heard "Rise" when I walked in a tavern, it sounds like a professional recording for platinum record.

[Emziana]

The chord structure of "Rise" is identical to the first half of Leliana's Song from Origins. I love how many ways they linked the games together.

[SteveIsMe]

It would have been a really cool addition if all of the Inquisitor's compatriots got their own bard song like Sera did. I was hoping to hear one about Varric or Iron Bull.

[nostrum]

Oh there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red...

[thatguynar]

Probably the best bard/tavern songs I experienced in a game. Damn, I just stay and stand around the tavern to listen to these songs all the time.

[eddietuite]

'I am the One' reminds me of my first venture into Thedas as Edward Cousland.
Origins will forever be my favourite game of all time. <3

[brianahughes]

I really appreciate that they actually hired vocalists to perform the tavern songs. I loved Skyrim, but the tavern songs sucked so bad. 

[DragonessYT]

the Sera was Never song makes sense, i mean, why change the past when you can own that day?

[LolzAngelxxxx]

*Sigh* I'd love to live in a fantasy realm

[AnnaFromTheMountains]

Somebody probably wrote this before.But I was literally crying during Grey Wardens quest . :((  Then, bam!, song  "Oh, Grey Warden, " plays in tavern...Thank you Bioware for ripping my heart from chest....
