Hazbin Hotel cranks the stakes to Heaven-shaking levels with VOX DEI, the blistering closer to episode five’s “Silenced” arc that dropped last week on Prime Video, and it lands like a thunderclap from Hell’s own demigod, Vox morphing from slick showman to full-on tyrant with every venomous line.
If you’ve been riding the high from season one’s chaotic charm, this track—penned by Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg, with Christian Borle’s Broadway-honed snarl bringing Vox to snarling life—flips the script hard. It’s the brutal follow-up to VOX POPULI, that jazzy rally cry where Vox played the everyman hero. Here, the Latin title nods to “vox populi, vox Dei”—the people’s voice as God’s own—but Vox hijacks it, twisting crowd chants into his personal gospel of rage. The sound swells from spoken-word fury to orchestral bombast, horns blaring like judgment day sirens over a marching beat that echoes Lucifer’s old motifs, but darker, more unhinged.
Themes? Pure megalomaniac fuel: Vox calls out Sera’s extermination as a power grab to muzzle sinners, then declares holy war, promising caskets instead of baskets. Those “Praise Vox” hooks from the mob turn worship into weapon, all while he mocks the angels’ lies and his own rivals’ thrones. It’s villainy dialed to eleven, with that intentional “furor” line winking at darker histories without flinching.
This caps the “Silenced” episode’s musical triptych, where Vox’s broadcast rebellion spirals from populi’s hopeful unity to dei’s divine dictatorship, setting up Heaven-Hell clashes that ripple through the back half of season two. The full soundtrack hit streaming November 19, packed with 20-plus tracks from the 10-episode run that kicked off October 29—think Gravity’s gut-punch ballads and Piss (A Love Song)’s twisted romance amid the chaos. It’s Vivziepop’s wildest yet, blending redemption arcs with turf wars, all clocking under five hours but leaving you wrecked. Stream the OST on Spotify or Apple Music for the full blast, or queue up the episodes on Prime to catch the visuals: Vox’s screen-glitch form hulking up like a mock-seraphim, eyes blazing as Hell bows.
Season two’s got Hazbin firing on all cylinders right now, fresh off that live Broadway concert tease in October where Borle and the cast owned these numbers onstage. Vivienne Medrano’s crew is leaning harder into the lore—fallen angels scheming, Overlords scheming harder—while keeping the heart that made Charlie’s dream feel real. Vox steals this spotlight, evolving from tech bro to would-be messiah, and it’s got everyone debating if he’s the devil we root for or just the one we fear most.

Lyrics of VOX DEI from Hazbin Hotel: Season Two
[VOX, spoken]
This angel admits it
She called the extermination to silence the sinners speaking out
Empowering each other
You did it to keep us down
Well, we are not gonna be kept down anymore
Consider this a declaration of holy war
I’ve woken up the people to the lies you angels tell
When we pay you a visit, we won’t be bringing baskets
We’ll be bringing decimation that’ll put you in caskets
I’ll show you what it means to be the motherfuckin’ king of Hell [VOX, CROWD]
‘Cause I’m the furor, I’m immense (Praise Vox)
I am the avatar of your consequence (Praise Vox)
I’m your omega, I’m the flood (Praise Vox)
I am the nightmare you made when you spilled our blood (Praise Vox)
[VOX]
So cower and hide, find a rope you can swing from
Go say your goodbyes, to your lives, to your kingdom
VOX DEI Lyrics Meaning
[VOX, spoken]
This part sets the stage with an angel admitting a dark truth—they called for an extermination to silence sinners who were empowering each other by speaking out. Basically, the oppressors acted to keep the people down and quiet.
[VOX]
Now, that silence is broken. The speaker declares they won’t be held down any longer and this is a straight-up declaration of war—a holy war, no less. Vox says they’ve awakened the people to the lies the angels have told and warns that when they come back, they won’t bring peace or gifts. Instead, they bring destruction powerful enough to bury their enemies, showing what it really means to be the king of Hell.
[VOX, CROWD]
This chorus is like a rallying cry, with Vox proclaiming his might and identity as a force of reckoning. He calls himself the fury, the consequence everyone must face, the end (omega), and the overwhelming flood. The crowd echoes praises, turning his bold claims into their anthem. It’s a collective uprising sparked by pain and revenge.
[VOX]
The final lines are a dark warning for the angels to fear and hide—to prepare for downfall by saying their goodbyes to their kingdoms and lives. It’s a grim call to face the consequences of their past actions, signaling a coming reckoning that’s both personal and cosmic.
