Hello everyone! I’m back and so excited to share with you my first ever Critical Role song! If you don’t know what Critical Role is, it’s a streaming show on Twitch and YouTube where a bunch of nerdy voice actors come together and play Dungeons and Dragons. I’ve been a fan since 2019, and I’ve been wanting to do a song about the show for a while now. This one is about my favorite character from Campaign 2 of the show, Caleb Widogast, played by Liam O'Brien. This song is about some of the early reveals of Caleb's backstory, so slight spoiler warning. I hope you all enjoy!
A huge thank you and shoutout to Matt Barber from The Sandbox Recording Studio for helping me put this song together. He did all the amazing instrumentals and the mixing on this song and I personally think it sounds awesome!
Art by me.

Lyrics:
A kind act of charity
A window of clarity
A break from my insanity
The memories are clear now
All the lies they taught me
The screams, the flames, they haunt me
And all of the pain it's brought me
Can't match the guilt I feel now
So let me burn, burn, burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
Let this fire burn my pyre. Let me burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
I've wandered all on my own
No place to call home
Searching for answers but I know
The ash is all that's left now
The guilt will gnaw at my soul
Until I pay my last toll
Don't try to reframe my role
I know who gets the blame now
So let me burn, burn, burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
Let this fire burn my pyre. Let me burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
So pile the burning coals upon my head
Leave me to rot and suffer for what I did
Chains of flames around my mind won't let me soon forget
The haunted memories of the dead
So let me burn, burn, burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
Let this fire burn my pyre. Let me burn
Let me burn, burn, burn
And now, a few words: Critical Role, Campaign 2, dungeons and dragons, dnd, d&d, Caleb Widogast, fan song, fantasy, angst
Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your loving kindness, because of Your truth.
- Psalms 115:1
