== Full Lyrics ==
The fields are full of stunted boars and twice as many sheep,
All of them with vacant smiles, grazing like there's nothing wrong,
The stars look like they're cut out of the sky when I lay down to sleep,
Tired from the senseless trials that we face to prove we're strong.
 
That house is made of paper and this river runs like butter,
In the morning they release a vapor patented to set hearts fluttering,
Don't say a thing if you are strong or you have horns or you are wise
They'll think it's wrong, they'll want to equalize you down
to them
 
(Chorus)
Chased out of the city,
Rabid golems gaining quickly just behind,
Can't sling no legalese when sherpas murmur sweetly in your mind, 
 
And if justice isn't all that you had hoped that it would be,
Don't pay it mind, you know what's right and wrong,
So smile and disagree,
 
And if others find your gender vague and murky at the best,
Just drink away your sorrow, heal their wounds,
And know you're blessed,
 
It's another perfect day,
To continue our ascent,
So walk with haste if you choose to stay,
And ignore the thrilling intent.
 
Then just before they catch you there's a snap and then a flash,
You've teleported somewhere else,
The man who's made of lies and smiles smiles on,
 
No need to yell, dear Ashe,
There simply isn't any way they'll reach us here,
You've got my word,
We have at least till dawn.
 
But over there, atop that hill,
There's more of them, let's all stay still,
To merely sneeze condemns us to a grisly fate upon this blasted shore.
 
(Ashe): 'You idiot, you only sent us twenty feet from where we were before!'
(Markus): 'Come on now, Ashe, it's not the time or place for you to begin keeping score.'
(Gregor): 'Hey guys, they're closing in, it might not be the time for talking anymore.' 
 
Another snap, another flash, you've magically departed,
And it's just before you catch your breath,
You realize that you're where you started. 
 
(Chorus)
Chased out of the city,
Rabid golems gaining quickly just behind,
Can't sling no legalese when sherpas murmur sweetly in your mind,
 
And if justice isn't all that you had hoped that it would be,
Don't pay it mind, you know what's right and wrong,
So smile and disagree,
 
And if others find your gender vague and murky at the best,
Just drink away your sorrow, heal their wounds,
And know you're blessed,
 
It's another perfect day,
To continue our ascent,
So walk with haste if you choose to stay,
And ignore the thrilling intent.
Thrilling Intent (x3)
== Intro Lyrics ==
The fields are full of stunted boars and twice as many sheep,
All of them with vacant smiles, grazing like there's nothing wrong,
The stars look like they're cut out of the sky when I lay down to sleep,
Tired from the senseless trials that we face to prove we're strong.
We're not at risk of endangerment,
But I sense a lot of
Thrilling Intent (x3)
Thrilling Intent
== Second Intro Lyrics ==
Here we are again now and it's like no time has passed,
Gazing out upon this sunset as it sinks into the night.
Many times it's seemed as though a given day might be our last,
Face to face with certain death, yet somehow coming out alright.
I don't think that we have any cause to lament,
But there's quite a lot of
Thrilling Intent (x3)
Thrilling Intent.
== Third Intro Lyrics ==
It's another perfect day to continue our ascent.
So walk with haste if you chose to stay and ignore the Thrilling Intent.
== Variations ==
Thus far, there have been nine variants of the intro sequence, most of which use the main Thrilling Intent theme but with varying visuals.
* Fae's variant, which was featured in the beginning of episode 5 and the end of episode 40. This variant returned for the arcs from Chaos Barge 6000 to Staff Only. 
* The original variant of Jackson's theme, used from the Deck of Disaster until Romance of the Four Clans.
* The first updated variant, identical to the previous save for the inclusion of Dont and Charoth to the bar. It is used from Romance of the Four Clans through Everything Is On Fire.
* The second updated variant, which adds Inien to the bar as well (used only for Liquor and Spirits and BIG WAR).
* The third updated variant adds Colvin, Firi, Demitrius (the barkeep Imp), Batty and Ballast McGee to the bar scene. Animations are improved, the intro song is updated, and the beginning vista features more detail and other pieces of equipment, such as Gregor's pillow underneath one of the tables. It is used for Dungeon Truck. 
* The fourth variant adds the cheese skull from the Dungeon Truck arc. It is used for The Calm.
* The fifth updated variant in adds Harlock to the bar. It is used for A Storm.
* The sixth update variant adds Astra to the bar scene. It is used for Duet of Dungeons and part of Sky's Shadow.
* The seventh variant adds in Harlock's new arm. It is used for Sky's Shadow through End of Oaths.
* The eighth variant switches to a new format, showing a view outside the bar featuring all of the major characters standing around the bar, with the exception of the Ashen Knight, who is represented only by his sword. The camera zooms out, then tilts upward towards the sky, where Granola Guillotine flies past, before golden text saying "10 years Thrilling Intent" appears. It is only used for the 500th episode.
* The ninth and most recent variant is identical to the previous one, except without the "10 years" text present. It was used for "Staff Only Part 1".
== Trivia ==
* In the beginning of all Jackson variants, the pages of a book flip quickly past the camera. Pausing or slowing down the video will reveal (among other things), a thank-you note from The Third Wheel, art for various types of Zeth, and notes on a [GOBLIN].
* As confirmed in "End of Oaths Part 17", the song is canon in the show, having been written by Markus and sung by Breem in the episode, despite Breem's confusion as to what a stunted boar is.
