Among the most iconic themes in the WWE right now is that of Randy Orton. So what is this song that plays as Randy Orton enters the ring, who sings it, and what are its lyrics?

The Randy Orton theme is called “Voices,” and it’s by the band Rev Theory.

According to Bleacher Report, Rev Theory wrote the song specifically for Orton to use. Rich Luzzi, the lead singer of Rev Theory, actually traveled around with Randy Orton for a week prior to writing the song, and the lyrics were intended to reflect who Orton is as a character. Luzzi  says he wanted to get into the mindset of “a killer who had no control over his actions or environment.”

The song was written and recorded in 2008, and it has been used as Randy Orton’s theme ever since that time. Orton’s previous theme was “This Fire Burns” by Killswitch Engage, and before that, it was “Burn in My Light” by Mercy Drive, “Line in the Sand” by Motörhead, “Evolve” by Jim Johnston, and “Blasting” by Jim Johnston.

“Voices” is so popular that it was the title track on the album Voices: WWE The Music, Vol. 9, which was released in 2009.

Rev Theory has done plenty of other work with the WWE. They also provided the theme song for Wrestlemania 24, WWE One Night Stand, Extreme Rules 2011, and the WWE Network show Breaking Ground. At WrestleMania 30, they performed Randy Orton’s theme “Voices” live.

So what are the lyrics to the song, and what do they say about Orton’s character? Take a closer look at the lyrics to “Voices” below:

I hear voices in my head,
They council me
They understand
They talk to me

You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questioning your faith

I have a voice that is my savior
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have a voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate

I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that’s drying
I feel tension rising

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me
They talk to me

They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I’ll do to you
They talk to me
They talk to me

All the lawyers are defenseless
All the doctors are disease
And the preachers’ are the sinners
And police just take the grease

All you judges you are guilty
All the bosses I will fire
All your bankers will have losses
Politicians are all the liars

I see darkness falling
I hear voices calling
I feel justice crawling
I see faith has fallen

I hear voices in my head
They council to me
They understand
They talk to me
They talk to me

They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I’ll do to you
They talk to me

I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that’s drying
I feel tension rising

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me
They talk to me

They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I’ll do to you
They talk to me
They talk to me

A Superstar's theme song is one of the most important aspects of his wrestling character. It provides a new layer to their personality, which helps them in getting over with the WWE Universe.

When it comes to choosing good entrance music, Randy Orton seems to be lucky. In his two-decade-long career, The Viper has used some of the best wrestling theme songs of all time.

His current theme song, 'Voices,' is regarded as a musical masterpiece among the wrestling community. It seems like a perfect fit for his unpredictable gimmick.

The Viper

After his exit from Evolution in August 2004, Randy Orton debuted a brand new theme song called 'Burn In My Light' by Mercy Drive. In an old interview, The Viper expressed his displeasure with his first post-Evolution entrance music.

He said that he did not like 'Burn In My Light' at all. He also requested WWE management give him a new theme in its place. The Viper used this theme for the next four years before eventually replacing it with Voices. Orton also briefly used 'This Fire Burns' by Killswitch Engage in 2006.

Whenever I listen to Burn in my Light, I can't help but smile at how much @RandyOrton hates it!

Randy Orton found it to be a great song and a perfect fit for his character. Unfortunately, Vince McMahon didn't feel the same way and denied Orton from using this theme again. Hence, Orton went back to using his previous theme again. 'This Fire Burns' was later given to CM Punk.

In 2008, Vince McMahon finally fulfilled Orton's wish to have a new theme for his entrance. Randy Orton debuted his 'Voices' theme in 2008. It proved to be his best wrestling theme song so far. The WWE Universe fell in love with this theme, as it perfectly reflected Randy Orton's unhinged character.

The song's lyrics presented Orton as a soulless creature who doesn't hesitate from destroying his opponents.

People often ask about the creator of this masterpiece. Well, this song was created by a collaboration between famous American Rock band Rev Theory and renowned WWE music composer, Jim Johnston. Richard Luzzi, the band's lead singer, provided the vocals for this iconic theme.

Both Jim Johnston and Rich Luzzi had to work a lot to make this song a perfect fit for the Viper's demented persona. According to Bleacher Report, Rich traveled with the 14-time World Champion for over a week so that he could get ideas for the theme.

In an interview, Jim Johnston also revealed the group's thought process while creating the song. They wanted to capture the essence of Randy Orton and his unpredictable nature. They certainly did a great job in doing so.
