Thane’s Prayer
Kalahira, mistress of inscrutable depths, I ask forgiveness.
Kalahira, whose waves wear down stone and sand.
Kalahira, wash the sins from this one and set him on the distant shore of the infinite spirit.
Kalahira, this one’s heart is pure but beset by wickedness and contention.
Guide this one to where the traveler never tires, the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve.
Guide this one, Kalahira, and he will be a companion to you as he was to me.

Shepard: “Kolyat? Why does the last verse say he?”
Kolyat: “The prayer was not for him, Commander. He has already asked forgiveness for the lives he has taken. His wish was for you.”
Shepard: “Goodbye, Thane. Meet you across the sea.”
