Lyrics for The Party Called Vox Machina:
[GILMORE]
How did a plastered, or-der-less, party of gits,
with no patience, a tendency to break shit, go on and save
Exandria, surviving, thank divine intervention, till they arose
Tal’Dorei’s revolutionary heroes.

[ALLURA]
Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan, whose Father couldn’t bother,
Swore to get richer by talking a lot slicker
By moving a lot quicker, By raising a tough critter
as mere teens.
The twins are close, they share a heart when they don’t bicker.

[KIMA]
While villages were slaughtered, and pillaged across the plains
The goliath Grog struggled with his conscience, found a waver
inside himself, longin’ to be part of something greater but
if he bowed out, his Herd of Storms would mark him as a traitor

[ALLURA]
(When-the) Briarwoods came, and devastation reigned
Young Percy saw his family die, nearly went insane
While schemin’ with a demon, smoke tendrils through his brain,
He built his first pistol, a testament to his pain

[KIMA]
Pike Trickfoot, a cleric, little lady is a monstah!
Prayin’, genuflectin’ cuz’ her goddess really wants her
To spread her light and love -

[GILMORE]
-but wait we can’t forget the bardster,
Who never lets it rest with his libido, whatchu called, sir?

[SCANLAN]
Scanlan Shorthalt, I’m a gnome
My name is Scanlan Shorthalt, I’m a gnome
And there’s a million chicks I haven’t boned
But just you wait, just you wait

[ALLURA]
(Pike’s-great) great grandfather in trouble outside of Westruun
Few hours later, a goliath on her step festrin’
Half-dead, beat’n down defendin’ Wilhand from Storm kin

[ENSEMBLE] (whisper)
She nurses Grog to health,
But the herd is in the wind.

[KIMA and (ENSEMBLE)]
Keyleth felt a smother, her mother lost on a sacred trial
Left her with a destiny to unite the Ashari tribe
(her people said) “Keyleth’s gotta lead us, it’s her turn”
She started lookin’ for adventure cuz she had some things to learn

[GILMORE and (ENSEMBLE)]
They wouldn’t have made it far
If it had not been for this group
They woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution. Started workin’,
journeyin’ together as the SHITS
Tradin’ out pain and sufferin’, for problems they could fix
(Scammin’) for every gold piece Vex had her eye on
(Plannin’) for the future, see Greyskull outside of Emon? (oooh)
Symbol of-a-group headed for wealth and true fame
For-the-future, they should really consider a new name…

[VOX MACHINA]
In Emon we’ll make up a new name (Just you wait)
In Emon we’ll take up a new name (Just you wait)
For Emon we’ll take up a new name


[COMPANY, WOMEN]
For Emon

[COMPANY, MEN]
Emon

[GILMORE]
Just you wait

[ENSEMBLE 1] [ENSEMBLE 2]
The party called Vox Machina (party called Vox Machina)
Fate is pulling the strings for you (fate is pulling the strings)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
The, party called Vox Machina (party called Vox Machina)
When Exandria sings of you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh

[ALLURA] [ENSEMBLE]
There’s heroes in the city now, see if you can spot ‘em, (just you wait)
Adventurers we celebrate, climbin’ up from the bottom
Their enemies know well their name, their backs, allies’ve got ‘em

[KIMA / ALLURA / GILMORE]
We fought with them


[KIMA / ALLURA]
We would die for them

[KIMA]
Me? I trusted them

[ALLURA]
Me? I loved them

[GILMORE] (casual, talking delivery)
And me?
I’m the damn fool that sponsored ‘em


[VOX MACHINA]
There’s a million things we haven’t done
But just you wait


[GILMORE]
What’s your name?


[VOX MACHINA]
We’re the party called Vox Machina!
