"and let there be a flood of justice" - jon foreman
So... apparently bad things happen when I’m left alone in a doctor’s office for two hours with nothing but an iPod, a pen, and an obsession with Dragon Age. Bad things such as, you know, fanmixes.
Shut up.
Anyway. Originally this was supposed to just be an Anders-themed mix but things happened and four songs later I decided that obviously my brain wanted it to be a Hawke/Anders one instead, so... It was also supposed to be F!Hawke, as is my wont, but a few of the songs opt for masculine pronouns so... good for all Hawkes, I suppose?
Also, as far as song choice, I'm aware that it's not the most creative collection in existence. Shut up. XP

Track List
1. Justice Tribute
Source
2. Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse
Anders and Justice
Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived
“To live outside the Fade, he needed a host. I offered to help him... We were going to work together, bring justice to every child ever ripped away from his mother to be sent to the Circle.”
3. Imagine - John Lennon
Anders
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Anders’ manifesto
5. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) - Ellie Goulding
Anders → Hawke
Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?
“If you tie yourself to me, I’ll only hurt you.”
4. Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
Anders → Hawke
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,
I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,
"This will be a disaster, but I can’t live without it."
6. Lonely Parade - Sarah Blockwood
Hawke
What's that you say?
Oh it's the devil on stilts
A man with a temper
With a vengeance he kills
A snake full of venom
That you just can't resist
Do you think you'll work out?
Well your friends ain't so friendly babe
Put a lock on your cage
And you're tourin' with peril
A tall handsome rebel
With a dangerous smile
“I don’t want you to resist.”
7. War - Poets of the Fall
Anders → Hawke
When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why
“You make me think I can really do this, lead a revolution.”
8. Chocolate - Snow Patrol
Anders → Hawke
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done?
it's too late for that
What have I become?
truth is nothing yet
9. Make This Go On Forever - Snow Patrol
Anders → Hawke
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could
“You are the most important thing in my life. But some things matter more than my life, more than either of us. I’m sorry.”
11. Uprising - Muse
Anders
They will not force us
And they will stop degrading us
And they will not control us
We will be victorious, so come on
Interchanging mind control, come let the
Revolution take its toll, if you could
Flick a switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die, so come on
"I will not stand by and watch you treat all mages like criminals...while those who would lead us bow to their templar jailers."
12. Love the Way You Lie - Skylar Grey
Hawke → Anders
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I’m still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
[...]
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
“Anders, what have you done?”
13. This is War - 30 Seconds to Mars
Anders
A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
To the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight
"I removed the chance of compromise, because there is no compromise."
"You fool! You've doomed us all!"
"We were already doomed. A quick death now or a slow one later - I'd rather die fighting."
14. Soul on Fire - HIM
Anders
We are like the living dead
Sacrificing all we have
For a frozen heart and a soul on fire
We are like the living dead
Craving for deliverance
With a frozen heart and a soul on fire
Addicted to our divine despair
The venom of the cross we bear
The guilt will follow us to death
“There is nothing you can say that I haven’t already said to myself. I took a spirit into my soul and changed myself forever to achieve this. This is the justice all mages have awaited.”
15. Instead of a Show - Jon Foreman
Anders
You turned your back on the homeless
And the ones that don't fit in your plan
Quit playin' religion games
There's blood on your hands
Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show
“The time has come to act. There can be no half-measures.”
16. What Have You Done? - Within Temptation
Hawke → Anders
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish I had other choices
Than to hurt the one I love
What have you done now?
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?
Hawke: You have to pay for what you’ve done.
Anders: I know. For what it’s worth, I’m glad it’s you. It was nice to be happy... for a while.
Alternately, a less depressing ending!
17. Brother Bleed Brother - Finch
Hawke → Anders
Hate the sin not the sinner
A mold of ugliness thrown into
The fire
Brother bleed brother
What have you done, my son
With your desire?
I'll hold my breath until the end
a prayer for us to make it through
I'll hold my breath
Miles of conviction to carry the
Weight of all your own mistakes
Open your eyes. In the end
Everything dies
and I'd die for you
and I'd die
and I'd die for you
and I'd die
Sifting seasons through the sand
(Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand
(I won't hear it)
Sifting seasons through the sand
(Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand
(I won't hear it)
I'll hold my breath until the end
a prayer for us to make it through
“Help me defend the mages.”
“You mean, stay with you? I didn’t think you’d let me. But if you do... I’ll fight the templars. Damned right I will.”
18. Anywhere - Evanescence
Hawke → Anders
Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there
“I’d rather be on the run with you than safe with anyone else.”
“Then we will be fugitives together.”
