Redacted | The Adventure Zone Fan Song by Ryan and Leigh Composing published on 2018-09-15T19:34:51Z Music by Jacob Ryan Smith Lyrics by Gina Smith From the moment we both finished listening to the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone, we knew we had to make something to shine a light on one of the most dynamic, well realized characters we've encountered. "Redacted" sees Lucretia, Madame Director of the Bureau of Balance, seconds before she makes the choice that would set the events of The Adventure Zone in motion. Lyrics: The words that I once loved Now drip with unease As I step back and at once See the forest for the trees It won’t matter our intentions Our hopes or our plans What matters is the end result This book in my hands No one will know how well we meant How much we sacrificed Cause this story’s how we broke the world And couldn’t pay the price So I’ll redact and I’ll revise Recut the truth and redefine the lies Step back and see our story Through the future’s eyes An agonizing revision Made with exact precision Only alone can I see this vision through Spare the world Then make it back to you I’ve the power to change things And I know I have to try And I called it. I knew it. Now I’ve got to pin down why Put aside your pride, Lucretia Time you stopped pretending A story isn’t good If we all hate the ending I’ve learned that faith is lovely But never goes as planned If you want something done Take it into your own hand So I’ll redact and I’ll revise Recut the truth and redefine the lies Step back and see our story Through the future’s eyes An agonizing revision Made with exact precision Only alone can I see this vision through Spare the world And then make it back to you They’ll be safe and they’ll be happy When the past is redacted Same people and same world Just with some bits subtracted Give them beaches and sun And tastes of their favorite things Give them the world And a chance to sample the flavor it brings Give them crafts and keeps and love And a chance to reset All the pain of the past The stories and songs And the choices we’d rather forget So I’ll redact and I’ll revise Recut the truth and redefine the lies Step back and see this story Through the future’s eyes An agonizing revision Made with exact precision Only alone can I see this vision through Spare the world Spare the world And then make it back to you Genre Pop Comment by Cecelia Noelle AHHH I came here to relisten to the crit role fan jams AND BEHOLD!
