THE ZEPHYR'S HYMN

Why do all the best folk fall
When I am barely standing tall?
Left behind and lost without a purpose

Father figures and my moon
Were taken from me far too soon
I cannot fail another friend again

Like a breeze, like the wind that blows
I'm guided precisely where I need to go
Across the seas, searching high and low
I can't rest, I won't stop, 'til I...

They say I'm well-adjusted but
It simply was a must because
Someone had to hold our shit together

Truth be told I'm terrified
It's a feeling that I've gotta hide
As the lynchpin that keeps this wheel rolling

Not just a breeze... more like a surging gust
Stronger when I have Bells Hells that I trust
I found the key, found my reason to live
I can't rest, I won't stop, 'til I...

My chosen family took me in
They absolved me of my sin
Of being the one who makes it out alive
The best was taken from me
Now the rest is yet to come
I will not stop until my peace is found

Like a breeze, I'm a Tempest Blade
I'd give my life a thousand times in Zephrah's aid
I will not freeze, I can do this all day
I can't rest, I won't stop, 'cause I'm...

Like a gale, like a storming squall
I'll goad, I'll feint, I'll bait and switch in any brawl
I'll tell the tale, keep your memories alive
I can't rest, I won't stop, 'til I...
I can't rest, I won't stop, 'cause I...

Those who know me will know just how much D&D and Critical Role have taken over my brain this past year. I can say without hesitation that Orym of the Air Ashari is my favourite character of all. His dauntlessness, his steadfastness, his capacity for love despite all he's lost, and his perseverance to continue on until... well, there is no "until." He just keeps going. I can only hope my song did him justice.

The character and settings that inspired this song belong to the cast and creatives of Critical Role - I thank them all for being a font of inspiration for this lowly bard. I am not affiliated with Critical Role at all, simply a massive fan. Thank you for listening.
