Nygozy : She Will Survive

Alright. This requires explanation. Possibly a lot of it.

The whole Nygozy and Alistair thing is really intruiging to me, right now. And so, the forum as a whole was on my mind as I was driving home from classes the other day. As I was driving, Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" came on the radio, and after a minute of listening (and singing along, because I'm a nerd who sings along to the radio in her car), I realized that it was so much like Nygozy's and Alistair's song! Alistair gives up Nygozy to be King, and now that he wants her back, and says he's sorry, she's not convinced, and she's become a stronger person in the meantime.

So I came home and immediately re-wrote the lyrics to fit.

I'm not so happy with the main chorus, but for now, I'm content with it as a whole. Please enjoy (and feel free to offer alternative lyrics for parts you don't like :3 ) :

At first I was confused
I was mortified
Kept wond’rin’ how you’d manage
without me by your side

But then I went out fightin’
And then I killed a few darkspawn
And I grew strong
I figured you’d learn how to get along

But now you're back
Like from the Fade
Asking me to be your Queen like some
Sad, sorry twist of fate

I should have never read your letters,
‘Never told you where I’d be
How could I know that after that rejection,
You’d come crawling back to me!

But I’m not your Queen!
I’m your Commander!
Just think for a second -
This could only end in a disaster.
How could I go back to you after that disaster at the Landsmeet,
“Not ‘human’ enough,’ am I ‘for Queen”
Well, I’ll have that Archdemon beat!

Oh I won’t die!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to fight,
I know I'll stay alive

I've got darkspawn to kill
I've got to find that battle thrill,
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept tryin’ to pretend
You didn’t break my heart.

And Anora might be human,
And Macha might be fit for Queen
But oh I,
I’m the one who saved your life!

But look at me!
I’m finally through!
I won’t wait for a King who’s indecision
Cost him somebody true

Maybe you still care for me,
but it’s too late for that correction
Now you’ll just have to know you lost
The Paragon of your affection!

But I’m not your Queen!
I’m your Commander!
Just think for a second -
This could only end in a disaster.
How could I go back to you after that disaster at the Landsmeet,
“Not ‘human’ enough,’ am I ‘for Queen”
Well, I’ll have that Archdemon beat!

Oh I won’t die!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to fight,
I know I'll stay alive

I've got darkspawn to kill
I've got to find that battle thrill,
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)

But I’m not your Queen!
I’m your Commander!
Just think for a second -
This could only end in a disaster.
How could I go back to you after that disaster at the Landsmeet,
“Not ‘human’ enough,’ am I ‘for Queen”

Oh I won’t die!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to fight,
I know I'll stay alive

I've got darkspawn to kill
I've got to find that battle thrill,
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)
