Florienne & Ferndinand, Commission

Takes place before the WinterPalace, when  Corypheus and his minions are coming up with an idea to take over Thedas. 

“Be Prepared” - Lion King - Disney

[ Corypheus :] I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a Qunari's backside But thick as you are, pay attention My words are a matter of pride It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs But we're talking Empress’s and successions Even you can't be caught unawares So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer

[ Florianne :] And where do we feature?

[ Corypheus :] Just listen to creature I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last I am given Thedas And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared! [Spoken] [ Samson :] Yeah, Be prepared. Yeah-heh... We'll be prepared, heh. ... For what?

[ Corypheus :] For the death of the Empress.

[Samson:] Why? Is she sick?

[ Corypheus :] No, fool-- we're going to kill her. And Gaspard too.

[ Florianne ] Great idea! Who needs a ruler?

[ Florianne (and then Samson ): No ruler! No ruler! La--la-la--la-laa-laa!

[ Corypheus :] Idiots! There will be a ruler!

[ Samson :] Hey, but you said, uh...

[ Corypheus :] I will be a God!... Stick with me, and You'll never go oppressed again!

[Florianne and Samson:] Yaay! All right! Long live the God!

[All Templars:] Long live the God! Long live the God! [Full song again] [Templars: {In tight, crisp phrasing and diction}] It's great that we'll soon be connected. With a God who'll be all-time adored. [Corypheus:] Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected To take certain duties on board The future is littered with prizes And though I'm the main addressee The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a scrap without me! So prepare for the coup of the century (Oooh!) Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh... La! La! La!) Meticulous planning (We'll have power!) Tenacity spanning (Lots of power) Decades of denial (We repeat) Is simply why I'll (Endless power) Be a God undisputed (Aaaaaaah...) Respected, saluted (... Aaaaaaah...) And seen for the wonder I am (... Aaaaaaah!) Yes, Tevinter and my ambitions are bared (Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo) Be prepared!
