Codex text
I first met the Lord of Fortune on a ship bound for Rivain.
She said, what's it got you looking sad with eyes so full of pain?
And I said, my love is gone, it's a sad and tragic story.
She said, hang on lad, it's not so bad! You just need some gold and glory!
Lords of Fortune never want for drink or love or joy!
In holes and caves and treasure vaults, they find their priceless toys.
There's gold to fill your coffers, or glory at the worst.
You seem a gentle Chantry lad, so we'll hit the gold holes first!
Gold and glory with the Lords, gold and glory with the Lords,
Past traps and guards and dragons lie countless shining hoards!
Gold and glory with the Lords, gold and glory with the Lords,
We'll fight our way to fortune, with skill and spell and swords!
She took me to Orlais, we stole a jeweled mask.
She took me down to Orzammar, and we drank down every cask.
She left me in Rialto, we parted with a kiss.
I later found she'd got my purse, but it wasn't really missed.
Gold and glory with the Lords, gold and glory with the Lords,
Past traps and guards and dragons lie countless shining hoards!
Gold and glory with the Lords, gold and glory with the Lords,
I fight my way to fortune now, with skill and spell and swords!
