Lyrics[]
Charlie: When I think about the future
I see a better place
Where everyone can coexist safely
Vaggie: When I think about the future
I see my favorite face
'Cause when I'm with you
The rest is all easy, baby
Charlie and Vaggie: Hand in hand
We'll make them understand our dream
Working as a team
Baxter: If we plot the right maneuvers
We'll chart a course to win
Cherri Bomb: And blow up any c**** who would fight us!
Everyone: Yeah! (Charlie: Fuck yeah!)
Emily: Wish that I had seen it sooner
But it's time that we begin
Niffty: Stab, stab!
Charlie and Emily: To prevent thе war and find a way to unite us
Husk and Baxter: These Overlords are tough
But with our expertise
Everyone: We can stop the Vees! Yeah!
Vox: Soon I'll be up there
The one and only true God
No more playin' house, once they're devout, I won't need a squad
Climb the stairway up to Heaven, live on every TV
Always knew the guy they're prayin' to was gonna be me
Once I get up there
Alastor: You will fuck it up (Vox: Just watch!)
You'll never fill your cup
You're broken from the start
No victory will ever be enough
Vox: We'll see who's smiling in the end
I won't even gloat!
You can say your last "I told you so"
While I slit your throat
Valentino: Val, don't be dramatic
He's just a man
He's being rude 'cause he's stressed out
Trying to do his master plan
Think about the future, Val
Don't let success break up the band
But as he rises higher
Things aren't like they were before
And if he glows any brighter
Will he see me anymore?
Velvette: Vox is an asshole
Valentino: Right?
Velvette: He's being a c***
Valentino: He's being such a dick
Velvette: If he thinks that he can cut us out
Fuck him!
Just bein' blunt
Once we rule all creation
He'll pay for this little stunt
And maybe then he'll chill again and realize who he missed
Valentino and Velvette: Now let's show those stuck-up pricks in Heaven
Who's the baddest bitch!
Lucifer: Uh, what's going on?
How'd I get stuck in this scary box?
Oh, boy, this is bad
Charlie's gonna be so mad!
Lute: They're about to know
Who they're dealin' with
Every one of them
No one gets to live!
Abel: Is my halo on?
I'm gonna shit my pants
Lute: What the fuck is wrong?
This battle is our chance
Lute and Abel: Storm's comin'
Abel: I'm so fuckin' scared!
What's gonna happen when we go down there?
Lute: You don't deserve your dad's crown!
Abel: I know there's no stopping it now
Lute and Abel: A hard rain is gonna fall down like gravity
Like gravity!
Sera: When I think about the future, my mind is filled with dread
A screaming conscience I cannot silence
And I cannot outmaneuver these visions in my head
Of the deaths to come, the realms drowned in crushing violence
I tried to buy us time, but could I have done more
To quell the drums of war?
And I try to still my heartbeat
For the breaking of the dawn
And pray the coming day's not our last one
