Been a while since I did anything Critical Role related huh? Writing this really helped me get out of a creative block, so I'm hoping to start being more active on here soon!

I like to think of it like the suburban guy in Stargate who saw a good portion of the series go down through the communication stone. The guy woke his wife up in the middle of the night crying when Daniel Jackson died, and since she thought the SG-1 team were just her husband's delusions she got him admitted to psychiatric care. While Jack O'Neill saw the dudes suburban life through the stone and just thought he was daydreaming about having a boring normal life. Imagine that sort of link, but the guy's a bard and travels the land singing the praises of a group of adventurers he can rarely ever catch up with.

I have a sister who passed away a few years ago. She is far away from me now and yet at the same time I keep her close listening to the songs she loved. It's my thread of fate that keeps me connected to her. I know if she was still here I would have made her sit down and watch all the episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina with me and that she would have loved this song. Thank you for making it and curse you for making me cry at work! :D It is truly a masterpiece. You should be PROUD. May the Matron of Raven's be Ever in Your Favor.

I made a quick modification of the lyrics to Vex’s perspective(I’m rusty on the lore so I forgot if Vex was aware of the raven matriarch but I’ll hand wave a hc that she felt it) It’s more of her telling Vax not to do it and just move on Vex’s version: Your soul and mine They’re one and the same Split one in twain and we both feel the pain The sins of one father run red in our veins Through darkness and hunger, I remained But your heart no more beats in tandem with mine Are you waiting for the wink and the witty one liner For me to say i got you and hit you with a smile But the hole in my chest says you’ll be waiting for a while Don’t be her boatman, her reaper Don’t be hers, let her be my keeper Lay me down on a bed of raven’s feathers Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone Accept my death Don’t pick up the crown Just leave my body asleep on this ground Don’t give her your soul, let mine stay laid down In this tomb I wish had never been found She wants a champion But don’t look back Don’t be her boatman, her reaper Don’t be hers, let her be my keeper Lay me down on a bed of raven’s feathers Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone There’s no price too steep to pay To let you keep your life Losing you is more than I could bear So swear Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone

I don’t know how you did it, but each time the lyrics reference vex, even just saying “her”, I can just feel so much tenderness, love, and devotion. And something about the lines “you want a champion/I want her back” and “I’ll be your boatman, your reaper/I’ll be yours but you can’t keep her” just calls into the depths of Vax’s desperation and determination in a way I don’t even know how to describe. This song is just… magical. Are you sure you’re not a bard?

For anyone who wants to sing there soul out Her soul and mine They're one in the same Split one in twain and we both feel the pain The sins of one father run red in our veins Through darkness and hunger, she remained But her heart no more beats in tandem with mine And I’m waiting for the wink, and the witty one-liner For her to say she got me and hit me with a smile But the hole in my chest says I'll be waiting for a while I'll be your boatman, your reapеr I’ll be yours, but you can't keep her Lay me down on a bеd of raven's feathers Dear sister, swear to me You'll stay close, never out of reach (Oh-oh-oh) Do not go far from me Until I'm gone Mantle of death Black-feathered crown Lift up this body asleep on the ground A soul for a soul, let mine be laid down In this tomb I wish had never been found You want (You want) a champion (A champion) I want her back So I'll be your boatman, your reaper I'll be yours but you can't keep her Lay me down on a bed of raven’s feathers Dear sisters, swear to me You’ll stay close, never out of reach (Oh-oh-oh) Do not go far from me Until I'm gone There’s no price too steep to pay To bring you back to life Losing you is more than I could bear So swear Dear sister, swear to me You'll stay close, never out of reach Do not go far from me Until I'm gone
