Mass Effect The ENDING We DESERVED!

Mass Effect · Shepard & Tali

The story in the song

“I Have Home” is a cinematic Mass Effect fan song and music video imagining the future Talimancers always wanted after the Destroy ending: Tali’Zorah finds Shepard alive in the rubble, and together they finally build the life the war almost stole from them.

From Shepard’s recovery aboard the Normandy… to Anderson’s memorial… to a proposal on Rannoch, a wedding, a home, and a family — this is a love story about survival, grief, healing, and the peace that comes after the end of the galaxy.

Lyrics

Ash in the sky where the citadel burned Signals are gone... every channel returned But under the stone, through the smoke and chrome I hear you breathe... and I'm not alone I searched the silence where the war had been Dust on your armor, blood on your skin My hands were shaking inside my gloves Keelah... I thought I had lost my love Then rubble moved where your shadow lay A broken breath found its way (found its way) You opened your eyes through the shattered dome And the stars came back - because you came home Every prayer from the Migrant Fleet Every promise we tried to keep All the worlds we fought to save Led you back... from the grave You came back to me, you came back to me Through the fire, through the fall of the galaxy When the war went dark and the stars were gone You were breathing there in the dawn Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed And the universe feels like home Keelah se'lai - through every unknown I have a home... I have home Rannoch mornings under open blue No visor fog when I walk with you Admirals laugh where the dreadnought stood Peace tastes strange... but it tastes good You built a house where the desert meets sky Two stubborn species learning why Science rewrote what the doctors said Now a little heartbeat sleeps in our bed Tiny hands with your fearless eyes Quarian songs as a lullaby A future none of the stars have known Growing strong... in a home You came back to me, you came back to me Through the war, through eternity Every scar is a map we survived Every dawn says we're alive Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed And the galaxy feels like home Keelah se' lai - through every unknown I have a home... I have home Normandy drifting in peaceful light Your cabin window remembers that night The song I sang when the war began Now our child hums the same refrain again No more goodbyes through a battlefield sky No more praying you won't die The war took years we can't reclaim But love... survived the flame You came back to me, you came back to me Past the end of the galaxy Where the rubble broke and the stars were torn A new forever was born Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed And the universe feels like home Keelah se’lai - my heart has known I have a home... I have home After time among open stars Our story lives where the quiet are Commander... wherever we roam With you beside me... I have home
