@notherpuppet's role reversal lyrics for Hazbin Hotel songs have lived in my head rent free, so I wrote my own rendition of "Ready For This"!
Looking over this again, there are noticeable areas for improvement, but this is my first time writing lyrics.
Maybe I'll make a karaoke style video to show where each syllable fits into the song!
Here's the original post this was inspired by
Alastor: Have you ever wanted something
That was so clear in your mind
That you could taste it?
Exorcist 1: (Spoken) You mean like ice-cream for a friend?
Alastor: (Spoken) Ha! No
It's a feeling like a roaring
In your heart that you could find
If you just faced it
Stand up against the fray and well,
I'll just come out and say it
For the first time in my life
I know that I am ready for this
and to that heavy thrum, I'll lead you from the front
I can't do this on my own
Throughout, history has shown
That our legends never won their wars alone!
I know the burden may be great,
But with your help, I'm sure we'll take the weight!
Aren't you tired of your power and authority so easily belittled?
Exorcist 2: (Spoken) Maybe if we just talked it out-
Alastor: (Spoken) ugh, Face it!
Those in hell will never listen,
Now's the time they feel their rotten egos crippled!
They'll find their power rippled
(Spoken) And yours tripled!
Don't you want to see those bastards set alight?
Join up now, prepare to travel
Onwards to a glorious battle!
Time to steel your nerves, jump in and join the fight!
Set all that hidden bloodlust free
Follow me
And we'll divide and conquer,
Their heads upon a stake!
Charlie: Just think of all the new friends you could make!
Alastor: (Spoken) Christ's sake…
Exorcist 1: (Spoken) New friends? I'm in!
Exorcist 2: (Spoken) Oh, woah!
Exorcist 3: (Spoken) I'm so lonely!
Exorcists: It's time now to act
They're on the attack
When they move to strike
We won't stall striking back!
We'll follow with glee
We can't wait to see
The new friends we'll meet
On this hellish retreat!
Though your lust for blood is something we abhor,
We will help you fight the fight and win the war!
Those overlords won't stand a chance against our light brigade
So we say, "hip hooray!" we will join in your crusade!
Alastor: Hey now, that's the spirit! Can we amp it up?
Vaggie: (Spoken) Oi!
Do not take their jubilation
For easy manipulation!
Alastor: But if I could take their rage and build it up-
Vaggie: (Spoken) Hey, kid!
They're no demons, but they're tough!
Alastor: Fair enough…
Alastor and Vaggie: We are forever thankful for your bravery and aid!
Exorcists: We can't wait to meet the new friends we'll have made!
Alastor: (Spoken) oookay…
For the first time in my life,
I'm going to be ready for this
Ready to be their marshall, leading the parade
They're quite affable, I know,
But I'll help their rage to grow!
Until they're an army ready for the fro!
Though not the most intimidating,
I can help them fix their sorry state!
Vaggie: They're dancing along
They're singing his song!
Charlie: Surprised? Why, I knew he could do it all along!
Vaggie: although his motivations are a little harsh…
Charlie: His confidence will surely help him lead this march!
And I will be the one to heal him of his blight
Vaggie: Fine I'm in!
Charlie and Vaggie: Stick with him, he will surely see the light!
Exorcists and Alastor: For the first time in our lives
We know that we are ready for this!
Exorcists: We'll show them their most righteous battle yet!
Exorcists: We will gladly lend a hand!
Alastor: I will finally take a stand!
Against those sinners and their deadly threat!
All: We'll be the victors in this war
And once it's over, we'll restore
Authority, we're ready for
This!
Alastor: I really hope that they're ready for this…
