[CHANTRY CLERIC]:
Now Kirkwall’s Chantry lies in dust…
[TEMPLAR]:
Destroyed by magic’s evil touch!
[MAGE]:
By hand that fought what was unjust!
[CHANTRY CLERIC]:
We all have argued far too much!
Now it is time to let it rest;
Lay down your staff and sword and shield.
At our Justinia’s behest,
We all shall see what this will yield…
[CHORUS]:
To Conclave!
This fight has lasted long enough!
To Conclave!
Oh Maker, guide us from above!
To Conclave!
The earth shall drink fresh blood no more!
To Conclave!
We now march to end this war!
[MAGE]:
We cannot run and hide like prey!
[TEMPLAR]:
Deep down inside, we just want peace!
[CHANTRY CLERIC]:
Divine spoke, and we obey!
[ALL TOGETHER]:
This war eats Thedas like disease!

These shems are trampling through our land!

We must know why…

I understand!

This is a short song I came up with while practicing my rad poetry skills.
I imagine that, if there was a theatre musical or a Disney movie based on Dragon Age: Inquisition, this would be the sort of stuff to come with opening credits, or with the curtain going up. The characters that sing it are just random people in the crowd that can be seen marching towards the Temple of Sacred Ashes on the menu screen.
The dialogue between the Keeper and Lavellan was inserted as an example; it would be different for other Inqusitors.
For example:
[CADASH BOSS]:
The humans march across the land!
Do I smell gold?
[CADASH]:
I understand!

Muse-Quisition: CassandraxLavellan[CASSANDRA]:
The Maker's work is vast, and hard to comprehend;
His reasons lie beyond the depths where we can delve.
But if He really tries to save us from the end -
Was there no other choice than trusting in that elf?
[LAVELLAN]:
The sky is bleeding green, with demons left and right;
The villains hunt my hand, like burglars hunt a gem!
It's true, I need someone to back me in a fight -
But does it have to be that thrice-accursed shem?
[CASSANDRA]:
'Inquisitor, stop! Inquisitor, no!'
How I ever cope, I barely know!
[LAVELLAN]:
'Inquisitor, come! Inquisitor, go!'
Pushing around, like I am too slow...
[CASSANDRA]:
'Inquisitor, think! Inquisitor, pause!'
The worst of his habits is breaking all laws!
[LAVELLAN]:
'Inquisitor, don't! Inquisitor, wait!'
Keeps giving advice that she knows I'll hate!
[BOTH]:
'Inquisitor, listen! Inquisitor, please!'
I pray for the day when this torment shall cease!
[CASSANDRA]:
And yet despite this gall, this arrogance and pride,
This wish to go against my words
Muse-Quisition: Alexius' Villain SongTrying, and failing, and hoping to the last,
Scheming, and spinning, and tangled through and through,
No matter what I wrought, I could not change the past -
But there's one final thing... One thing I still can do!
The world is crumbling,
My Master's time is drawing nigh.
The world is crumbling,
As demons feast and mortals die.
The world is crumbling,
Unwinding, dissolving in the Fade...
The world is crumbling,
I have gone too far, and now it's too late.
The world is crumbling,
Soon, the Elder One shall try and sentence me.
The world is crumbling -
And your death will be my apology!
If only our mistakes were books we could rewrite!
My ink was made of blood; I used it up in vain.
You came to punish me, came looking for a fight;
Behold how strong man is when blinded by pain!
The world is crumbling,
My Master's time is drawing nigh.
The world is crumbling,
As demons feast and mortals die.
The world is crumbling,
Unwinding, dissolving in the Fade...
The world is crumbling,
I have gone too
Muse-Quisition: Adaar Goes to the Ball[VIVIENNE]:
Whatever shall I do with you, my clumsy dear?
[JOSEPHINE]:
There is a problem here, yes, I must confess!
[ADAAR]:
Just stop and think: Qunari in a dress?
This really, really was a horrible idea!
[LELIANA]:
Hush! I've seen worse cases of a sow's ear!
We'll teach you how to charm and to impress!
But first, some little things we must address.
Now listen, as we make instructions clear!
[CHORUS]:
Maker help you if you go astray!
One wrong glance at a soiree,
One wrong word is all you have to say
To disgust, revile, and dismay,
And be dealt with in a proper way!
That's the Game that you have to play
To survive one evening in Orlais!
To survive one evening in Orlais!
[JOSEPHINE]:
Remember when to speak, remember when to smile!
[VIVIENNE]:
The Game is a breeze if you don't break the rules!
[JOSEPHINE]:
Your looks, your charm and wit are very useful tools!
[LELIANA]:
When presentation's right, you'll shine and beguile!
[ADAAR]:
All of this frilly stuff is kinda not my style;
My kind
Muse-Quisition: Envy Demon's Theme[ENVY]:
Ah, what a lovely form you have, my sweet, sweet mortal!
It's such an utter joy to study and to claim!
Just hold your breath, stand still, and wait, sweet mortal;
Soon the two of us shall merge and be the same!
[CADASH]:
You will never copy me, you evil monster!
[ENVY]:
Well now, let us see if I can play this part!
'You will never copy me, you evil monster!'
Really? You have such delightful darkness in your heart!
[CHORUS]:
Ever looked into the mirror and smashed it at the floor,
Just to destroy the creature that you can see inside?
You're striving to be better, but you can't win this war -
The shadows hound your footsteps, and you will never hide!
Your past has left a marking for everyone to see,
You turn to those around you and those up above,
And beg them for forgiveness - but it's not meant to be!
A monster is unworthy of pity or of love!
[ENVY]:
I see inside your heart, sweet mortal!
Beneath your careless mirth, is guilt and shame and fear;
Deny it all you like, please do,
Muse-Quisition: Song of Cards and Friendship[VARRIC]:
The game’s just getting started, you’re fashionably late!
[JOSEPHINE]:
S/he’s here!
[BULL]:
Hey, boss!
[BLACKWALL]:
Messere!
[INQUISITOR]:
I’m sorry for the wait!
[VARRIC]:
Sit down and grab a pint! Hey, Ruffles, deal him/er in!
[JOSEPHINE]:
And the starting stake’s….
[BULL]:
A silver!
[VARRIC]:
Now, let the fun begin!
[CHORUS]:
Like cards from different decks,
We have been thrown together,
To form an odd and motley hand of Wicked Grace.
Like cards from different decks,
We’re so unlike each other,
And yet our paths have crossed at destined time and place.
We’re cards from different decks,
Apostates, mercs, and Seekers,
Advisors, mentors, friends, and ever so much more!
We’re cards from different decks,
United by one purpose –
A game the likes of which have not been played before!
[INQUISITOR’S SOLO]:
These cards from different decks,
Laid out on the table,
Were snatched from different parts of Thedas, far and w
Muse-Quisition: Sera's Ode to Pranks[SERA]:
Yeah, sure you get glowy
With creepy stuff nearby,
And once you went all showy,
Waved hands and stitched the sky;
Yeah, sure, you are busy,
And fighting Corpsey-Spit;
But hey, just listen, Quizzy:
There's one important bit!
[CHORUS]:
You gotta make them laugh!
It's an amazing sound!
You gotta make them laugh!
Go throw some pies around!
You gotta make them laugh,
With puns and sleight-of-hand!
You gotta make them laugh -
'Cause then they'll understand...
You gotta make them laugh,
So that they know it's true:
If you have made them laugh,
You are a person, too!
[SERA]:
Come on, let's prank Ser Noodle!
What is it gonna be?
He'll freak just like a poodle
That got but by a flea!
I say, upset his table!
Oooooh, it will be a lark!
The boys back at the stable
Will snicker till it's dark!
[CHORUS]:
You gotta make them laugh!
It's an amazing sound!
You gotta make them laugh!
Go throw some pies around!
You gotta make them laugh,
With puns and sleight-of-hand!
You gotta make them laugh -

My goodness, this is brilliant! 
You should record it as an audiobook, you know.
