Vox vs. Heaven vs. Hell v2

LUTE (echoing):

(Sanctus) Does no one know who they’re dealin’ with?

Think I’ll let it go? Forget and forgive? (Dominus)

VOX (flickering in):

It’s curious you stopped by

To fight me nail and tooth

When all I mean to try

Is to dispense a dose of truth

⸻

LUTE:

The rage in me (Yeah?) is terminal (Yeah?)

There’s no remedy (Yeah?) but to burn ’em all (Ignis)

VOX:

We sinners do not need a king

We need someone who understands

A different kind of despot

Bringing respite from divine demands

⸻

LUCIFER:

You’re actin’ out

Like you want teacher’s attention

Well, I’m the principal of this eternal detention

Ha! Ding-ding

⸻

LUTE & ADAM:

The princess has to pay

For what she did that day

VOX (overlapping):

New order

Like what Lilith had envisioned when she threatened them

She knew Hell could be great

And we can make Hell great again!

⸻

LUTE & ADAM:

Storm’s comin’, I can see the clouds

No runnin’s gonna save you now

And hard rain is gonna fall down

Like gravity, like gravity

VOX & SINNERS (chanting underneath):

Vox Populi! The people’s voice!

⸻

LUTE:

Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt

Blood demands blood, gonna get my hands wet

VOX:

Just imagine if we could

Flip the script!

Take the fight back way upstairs, and

Make ’em beg and say their prayers

⸻

LUCIFER:

‘Cause I’m the serpent!

I’m the flame

The mortal world is scared to say my name

I’m nearly a god, who are you?

LUCIFER (SNARLS):

Just a dead man!

⸻

VOX:

They say Hell’s too populated

That’s why they exterminate

We got the numbers

We got the thunder!

Let’s annex their real estate!

SINNERS:

Yeah!

⸻

LUTE & ADAM:

The flood’s comin’, now you can bet on tragedy

Like gravity

VOX & DANCERS:

Save their souls!

Not by changing for redemption

But by taking over Heaven!

⸻

VOX:

Tell me, Hell, are you satisfied!?

SINNERS:

No!

VOX:

Your wife knew it was wrong, Lu!

LUCIFER:

You mouthy little mortal!

⸻

LUTE:

You think you’re Hell’s great savior

Will you still when I return the favor?

VOX:

Who’s with me!?

SINNERS:

Let’s unite and fight for a

Brand new realm!

⸻

ALL:

Hail Vox Populi!

The people’s voice!

LUTE & ADAM (overlapping, final hit):

Like gravity.
