Lyrics © 2025 Shebaden :

[Verse 1]
The dice are cold beneath my hand,
A battlefield of dreams unplanned,
I built a world in candlelight,
But shadows stole it from my sight.
The table’s scarred with every fight,
The minis fall, no strength, no might,
A natural one, the fates decree,
This story ends with only me.

[Chorus]
Critical fail, the numbers don’t lie,
A roll of the dice, and my hopes all die,
The table grows quiet, the laughter fades,
Lost in the ruins of the games we played.
Critical fail, my heart’s on the line,
A kingdom of paper, no stars align,
The quest is over, the fire’s gone stale,
All I’ve got left is this critical fail.

[Verse 2]
The DM’s voice was once so strong,
A tapestry of right and wrong,
But pages tear, and voices crack,
The party’s gone, they won’t come back.
I see their ghosts in every chair,
The rogue, the mage, the cleric’s prayer,
A D20 spins, it mocks my pain,
I roll again, it’s all in vain.

[Chorus]
Critical fail, the numbers don’t lie,
A roll of the dice, and my hopes all die,
The table grows quiet, the laughter fades,
Lost in the ruins of the games we played.
Critical fail, my heart’s on the line,
A kingdom of paper, no stars align,
The quest is over, the fire’s gone stale,
All I’ve got left is this critical fail.

[Verse 3]
I clutch the dice like they’re my soul,
A fleeting chance to feel whole,
The maps we drew, the tales we spun,
Unfinished now, forever undone.
The dragon sleeps, the gold’s unclaimed,
A hero’s heart, forever maimed,
I whisper low, “One more throw,”
But fate just laughs and says, “No.”

[Rap]
Yo, gather ‘round the table, let me tell you my tale,
Of a crit that went south, left my spirit so frail,
I had a plus-five sword, yeah, my stats were elite,
But the dice said, “Nah, take a permanent seat.”
My crew was my life, we were thick as the lore,
But a fumble mid-battle split us straight to the core,
The DM just sighed, said, “You sealed your doom,”
Now I’m solo with my dice in this empty room.
Roll a one, feel the sting, hear the silence creep in,
Every miss is a ghost of the fights we didn’t win,
The campaign’s a graveyard, my heart’s in a jail,
All rise for the anthem of the critical fail!

[Chorus]
Critical fail, the numbers don’t lie,
A roll of the dice, and my hopes all die,
The table grows quiet, the laughter fades,
Lost in the ruins of the games we played.
Critical fail, my heart’s on the line,
A kingdom of paper, no stars align,
The quest is over, the fire’s gone stale,
All I’ve got left is this critical fail.

[Outro]
The dice sit still, the night grows long,
A faded echo of our song,
The table’s bare, the tale’s been told,
A critical fail, my heart turns cold.
