What We Fought For — Dragon Age: True Endings

We saved the world. Now let us have a life. The Calling fades; your hair turns gray. I burn the bread; you laugh all day. You steal the blanket; I steal a kiss - We did not die. We get to do this. Beyond the glass, our boy runs free; No god will name what he must be. Let legends call my heart a stone - You know the fire I save for home. Your muddy boots beside my lute; The spies can wait; the room falls mute. I'll sing until the candles die - No more your letters. You, this time. Your earring gleams; the Crows lose track. We take the coast and don't look back. I'll grow disgraceful, gray, and free - And you, my dear, grow old with me. This is what we fought for! Not a name carved into stone! Raise the roofs and sow the fields - Let no child stand alone! Keep the fallen in our songs; Give the living back the dawn! The dead don't vanish when you stay; I'll mend the wounded, day by day. You light our clinic through the rain - My hands have work beyond the pain. These marks remain; no chains will bind. We'll free the ones we left behind. Then home, where I'll read you to sleep - No master's voice. Just vows I keep. We'll plant a garden by the door; Lost elven songs will bloom once more. I'll teach the children; you'll make tea - The past can grow, and so can we. New sails, old friends, a berth for two; The whole wide sea, and me and you. No cage disguised as solid ground - We'll choose each other, outward bound. We'll raise a refuge, stone by stone; No child should kneel in ash alone. My vows remain; my choice is true - A life of faith, and room for you. This is what we fought for! Not a name carved into stone! Raise the roofs and sow the fields - Let no child stand alone! Keep the fallen in our songs; Give the living back the dawn! I'll teach new Seekers mercy's worth; You'll read beside our quiet hearth. No tragic lovers, not this time - Turn down the lamp. Your hand in mine. No borrowed name above our door; I'll carve our chairs and make one more. My past stays dark; the road is new - I'll earn each dawn I share with you. We'll send the family ships to sea; Come home to candlelight with me. No duel, no debt, no grand affair - Just steal one dance upon the stair. The Chargers roar on tavern nights; No distant masters pick our fights. I'll wear my half; you'll wear yours too - One dragon's tooth, one life with you. Our wedding vows, a hound, a hearth; No war room measures what I'm worth. Some nights I shake; you see me through - I'll choose this life each day with you. I'll guard the Veil; I'll face the cost. We'll heal the dark where I was lost. No world must die for us to start - No god beside you. Just my heart. This is what we fought for! Not a name carved into stone! Raise the roofs and sow the fields - Let no child stand alone! Keep the fallen in our songs; Give the living back the dawn! This is what we fought for! Give the living back the dawn! Not just a world to die for. A world to wake up in.
