[Verse 1]
Ink-stained hands
Cracked leather satchel
Late bell rings
I slide in fast
Professor talks of planes and portals
I’m daydreaming of my spellbook’s past
Dorm room cluttered
Runes on the ceiling
Roommates snore through my practiced lines
I trade sleep for silent cantrips
Burned-out eyes and awakened minds
[Chorus]
I’m the campus arcane fire (hey!)
Lighting up the midnight sky
Got a party waiting at the tavern door
While I’m still learning how to fly
I’m a first-name basis with danger
But I highlight every page
Twenty-something
Over-caffeinated
Turning homework into haze
[Verse 2]
Study hall
She’s shining armor
Clanking loud when the room goes still
Rogue’s in back
Feet on the table
Carving hearts he can’t quite fill
Cleric’s laughing
Says
“You’re shaking”
I say
“I just passed conjuring” (oh yeah)
We ditch class for a goblin contract
Field trip beats another briefing
[Chorus]
I’m the campus arcane fire (hey!)
Lighting up the midnight sky
Got a party waiting at the tavern door
While I’m still learning how to fly
I’m a first-name basis with danger
But I highlight every page
Twenty-something
Over-caffeinated
Turning homework into haze
[Bridge]
Finals week on a dungeon floor
Flash cards fall from my robe
Orc chief roars
I mumble Latin
Hope this circle actually holds
All my theories
All my thesis
Boil down to this one spark
Pass or fail
The spell is landing
Watch it blossom in the dark (woah)
[Chorus]
I’m the campus arcane fire
Lighting up the midnight sky
My best friends banged-up
Laughing
Covered in ash
But alive
I’m a first-name basis with danger
Still I’ll make it to that stage
Twenty-something
Robe half-buttoned
Dean of Detentions and Arcane Rage
