I can stargaze

Free from enemies that burn and raze

'Cause the reapers are dead

And all their servants shot themselves in the head

One hero drove a mako through a relay into history

She showered with her bra on and her dancing was a mystery

Who is this hero we adore?

This Spectre made the hardest decisions

And she did my heart's Loyalty Mission

She was hope in the flesh, she was vengeance unfettered

These are the tales that we tell of The Shepard

Cloaked, Widow loaded

Cerberus heads exploded

With her Adrenaline Rushin'

She burned their barriers and gave them Concussions

She was a talented biotic, Chargin', Singin', and Warpin'

She hung out in the lab, enjoying patter songs with Mordin

When evil came she'd Overload its shields

The Shepard made the hardest decisions

And she did my heart's Loyalty Mission

She was hope in the flesh, she was vengeance unfettered

These are the tales that we tell of The Shepard

She killed pirates and scum

On her way to real problems

Standing over dead gods

Was how she defined "just doing my job"

Kicking ass and taking names and also many lovers

She slept in her underwear on top of the covers

They could not put her name on The Wall

The Shepard made the hardest decisions

And she did my heart's Loyalty Mission

She was hope in the flesh! She was vengeance unfettered!

These are the tales that we tell of The Shepard!

Hope in the flesh! Vengeance unfettered!

Across the galaxy we sing the song of The Shepard!


When I started this I was just going to write an extra verse to Miracle of Sound's "Commander Shepard," but I ended up making it a whole song of its own. It still mostly fits the tune, so if you haven't heard it, go find Miracle of Sound's "Commander Shepard" on YouTube and listen to it. Then buy it, because it's awesome. Then come back and reread this.
