Burn

We're finally diving into Campaign II with our Exandrian MIXtape! This cover of Burn looks deep into Caleb's obsession with his past and the flames that consume him. Our Caleb is performed by Meany Vizzini.

I remember the child that I once was

When I left for the Solstrice

They said they were proud

I'd make them both proud

I once was so proud

Do you know what Beauregard said

When I told her how my parents died

She said "Caleb, you know that's fucked up

But it's nothing you have to hide

I was a boy entranced by their magic

I learned and I breezed through my lessons

They built me palaces in a paragraph

Oh how they taught me

I'm reliving my past in a memory

Been searching and scanning for answers

In every line, in books I can find

Cause when fate was mine

My world had to

Burn, Burn

I trained under Trent who was merciless

I chose to believe that my parents

Had chose the wrong side

And made up my mind

And ended their lives

Do you know what my only friend said

When she learned of my fall

She said: This pain is a mask you've made

One day you won't need it at all

Lost and alone, brought back from insanity

So how can I still be a madman

Caleb you're paranoid In every paragraph

None can redeem you

I've erased all myself from their narrative

Let mages and murders wonder

How Caleb reacted

When he broke his heart

I have torn it all apart

I've watched it all

Burn

Watch it all Burn

This war has no right to my heart

It's already taken my head

I know that the pain will not end

Burn through all of the memories

Learn all the enchantments reality clings to

I forfeit the right to a heart

I don't get a storybook end

Wherever the Mighty Nein heads

I'm trapped by my treachery

Cause when they were mine

I made them both

Burn
