Varric
Kirkwall, former Slaver City
but the people don’t know that the city’s in pain.
The Worst of the Worst of all Thedas in a
town with everything but free mages.
Time flies, doesn’t seem a minute
Since Amaranthine had the Darkspawn in it.
Tides turn – everything will worsen,
but the Champion’s not some ordinary person.
In Orlais, or Ferelden, or Antiva or – or this place!
Chorus (Anders, Hawke, Zevran, and a wandering Orlesian Eunuch)
One Night in Kirkwall tears your world asunder,
The Hanged Man’s open, but the beer ain’t free,
You’ll find some trouble both above and under,
so get a blessing at the town’s Chantry,
I can feel a Templar sneaking up on me.
Varric
One town’s rather like an another,
When your head’s now holding a price tag brother.
Chorus
Well the mages were in a compromised position,
but no one had expected the Chantry Inquisition.
Varric
Well, to be fair, no one expects the Chantry Inquisition –
Chorus
Blooming Rose so sweet,
Come in for love if you’re walking the High street.
Varric
Come now, you’re talking to a Tethras,
whose every story will leave you breathless.
I like my tales below the waistline, Serah.
Chorus
One night in Kirkwall makes a hard mage Tranquil,
or gets you robbed blind by the Coterie.
Questing alone will only make you thankful,
for all those moments with some company,
because you just pissed off all the Qunari.
Varric
Kirkwall’s gonna be a witness
to the ultimate test of Lyrium fitness.
And things don’t get much better
when the Lyrium turns a little redder.
Thank the Maker I’m only telling the story – unfolding it –
I don’t see you debating
the kind of story I’m illustrating.
I’d let you in, I would excite you,
But Bianca here does not invite you.
So you better go back to your Elves, your Mages, your Deep Roads…
Chorus
One Night in Kirkwall tears your world asunder,
The Hanged Man’s open, but the beer ain’t free,
You’ll find some trouble both above and under,
since I follow Anders’ philosophy,
I still feel the Templars sneaking up on me.
One night in Kirkwall makes a hard mage Tranquil,
or gets you robbed blind by the Coterie.
Questing alone will only make you thankful,
for all those moments with some company,
because you just pissed off all the Qunari.
