In a recent announcement, EA has released all of the songs sung by the humble minstrel in the taverns of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
That’s great news, but finding the lyrics to these songs is awful hard to come by. Worry no longer, because Twinfinite has you covered. Here you can find all the lyrics to the diddies sung in fire-warmed bars throughout Fereldan. You can find each set of lyrics accompanied with the song itself, and we’ve even included the French versions of those that are available. Feel free to peruse, or use the links here to skip to your preferred song.

I Am The One
Verse 1
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.
Chrous
I am the one
Who can recount what we’ve lost.
I am the one
Who will live on.
Verse 2
I have run
Through the fields of pain and sighs.
I have fought
To see the other side.
Chorus
I am the one
Who can recount what we’ve lost.
I am the one
Who will live on.
Empress of Fire
Verse 1
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 out heart
And bring us
To glory.
Chrous
We are
Forever
In your graces.
Verse 2
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.
Chorus
We are
Forever
In your graces.
Verse 3
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 out heart
Bring us
To glory.
Enchanter
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Chorus
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.
Verse 1 (Repeated)

Oh Grey Warden
Verse 1
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.
Bridge
Ally or Foe?
Maker only knows.
Ally or Foe?
The Maker only knows.
Chorus
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?
Verse 3
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.
Refrain
Ally or Foe?
Maker only knows.
Ally or Foe?
The Maker only knows.
Chorus
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?
Nightingale’s Eyes
Verse 1
Nightingale’s eyes.
What secret lies
In their worth?
Raven’s tears they cry,
But all the while
They softly lie and spy on you.
Nightingale’s eyes.
What will they find
Left behind?
Craven master spy,
With heart remiss
For those who could not find the truth.
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
Nightingale’s eyes
Can free the ties
On our hands.
Craven master spies,
Can they find
The key that can unlock the past?
Chorus 2
We’re hiding
From the fighting,
Longing to see.
We’re waiting
For someone to speak
And set us all free… free.
Maker
Verse 1
Maker
Have you left me here
Temple
Sacred Ashes
Tragic
Mark upon our land
Bridge
Sky fall
Let darkness reign
On thee

Now flee
From the dragon’s heart
Warring
Battle-scarred eyes
Breach
Into the Fade has come
Bridge 2
Demon
Please spare my life
And our sons
Sera Was Never
Verse 1
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 how to enrage them.
Chorus (x2)
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.
Verse 2
Sera was never quite the wealthiest girl –
Some say she lives in a tavern.
But she was so sharp,
and quick with 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.
Chorus (x2)
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.
Rise
Verse 1
Find me still searching
For someone to lead me
Can you guide me
To the revolt inside me
Refrain
Promise
Surviving
The Breach
Promise
Surviving
The Breach
In the sky
Verse 2
Templar
Igniting
Fire inside me
Maker
Remind me
Gone are the days
Of our peace
Bridge
Now we reside
In the great divide
Refrain 2
No promise
Surviving
The Breach
In the sky
Samson’s Tale
Verse 1
Samson, Templar fame,
Raise your shield of shame.
Samson’s letter caught,
Left unfought, defamed.
Verse 2
Armor laced with blood
Shall reclaim his name.
Samson’s broken heart
Shall revoke his claim.
Verse 3
Samson knight in red,
He hath lost his way
Samson martyr rage.
Soon the world will pay.
Je suis l’élu (I Am The One – Français)
Le soleil dans le ciel s’est évanoui
Qui saura nous guider dans la nuit?
Meurtrière est la guerre qui trahit tous nos serments
Sanguinaire le feu de la fin des temps
Je suis l’élu(e)
J’ai traversé l’inconnu
Je suis l’élu(e)
Et j’ai survécu
J’ai vaincu la douleur
J’ai bravé la peur
J’ai lutté pour voir de l’autre côté
Je suis l’élu(e)
J’ai traversé l’inconnu
Je suis l’élu(e)
Et j’ai survécu
Les yeux de rossignol (Nightingale’s Eyes – Français)
Gracieux rossignol, de quoi sont faits tes secrets?
Les larmes que tu verses sont douces-amères,
Tes intentions sont-elles sincères ?
Gracieux rossignol, que cache-tu sous tes plumes?
Tendre maître espionne,
Ton cœur ballant ne fait que blesser tes amants.
Ébloui, et à l’abri.
C’est notre vie.
Éloigné de la mêlée.
C’est notre vie.
Qui voudra leur en parler.
Plaider pour nous libérer.
