Kirkwall gone
Tethras had told
We're building up our new freedom from the ashes of an old
Kirkwall, gone
The harbor twins loom
The Champions of the Just brought a Harrowed mage’s doom
It's the sound of another dogma whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times
It's the smell of the burning Chantry swept away by lies
(Karl Thekla) Far away from the hell of the Circle
(Karl Thekla) long ago, yet too close to forever
(Karl Thekla) when a paradise is lost, go straight to
Kirkwall gone
A matter of love
While Darktown’s Healer’s crying to The Maker up above
Kirkwall gone
Put on their smiles
And Meredith brands another mage from her demented wiles
It's the truth that Anders showed through their prism of deceit
It's Elthina’s fecklessness and her Choir Boy all sweet
It's a Spirit’s condemnation that comes to no avail
It's the Story of the Champion that hides the apostate’s tale
(Karl Thekla) Far away from the stench of the Darkspawn
(Karl Thekla) long ago, yet too close to forever
(Karl Thekla) when a paradise is lost, go straight to
It's the sound of another dogma whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times
It's the smell of the burning Chantry swept away by lies
It's the truth that Anders showed through their prism of deceit
It's Elthina’s fecklessness and her Choir Boy all sweet
It's a Spirit’s condemnation that comes to no avail
It's the story of the Champion that hides the apostate’s tale
(Karl Thekla) Far away from the hell of the Circle
(Karl Thekla) long ago, yet too close to forever
(Karl Thekla) when a paradise is lost, go straight to
(Karl Thekla) Far away from the stench of the Darkspawn
(Karl Thekla) long ago, yet too close to forever
(Karl Thekla) when a paradise is lost, go straight to KIRKWALL!!!
