‘Johnny’s Rebellion’ is the last song of the “Johnny Trilogy”, consisting also of ‘Johnny Ringo’ and ‘Johnny’s Revenge’.
After selling his soul to the devil in ‘Johnny Ringo’ and vowing to kill the Devil to avenge himself in ‘Johnny’s Revenge’, Johnny has finally gathered his army of souls to confr...
[Intro: Andrew Rockhold: Dave Escamilla]
I start to levitate
I feel the air beneath my wings
I hear my pulse
I taste the air I breathe
I touch the ground
I see the end
And I feel whole again
I hear the echoes of a world I'd left behind
I taste the victory I thought I'd never find
I touch the ground but it's slipping away from me
And now I can't see it
I can't see anything
Somebody help me
Please help me!
Oh, Johnny!
Wake the fuck up
It's your big day
Wouldn't want to keep all those angry souls waiting, now would you?
This is the story of Johnny's group of misfits
Taking on the Devil himself
Welcome to Hell
[Verse 1: Dave Escamilla]
I can't believe it was a dream
I walked the surface, breathed the air
Then found myself back underneath
It must've been a sign
It’s time to take back what was mine
I am alive
[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from Hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground
[Verse 2: Dave Escamilla, Andrew Rockhold]
First, I'll take the things he loves
Make him feel defeated, make him feel defeated
Then, I'll take his fucking heart
Make him watch you eat it, make him watch you eat it
I can't remain here, I'm taking control
So string 'em out, and bare his bones
I'm taking back my soul
[Post-Verse: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
You think you can run?
You think you can hide?
No!
I'm done hiding!
I challenge you to fight me to the death
[Chorus: Andrew Rockhold, Dave Escamilla]
So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground
[Bridge: Andrew Rockhold]
So it seems it's my time
Fate has brought me to now
With armies aligned
We brace for the sound of
Ten thousand souls fighting for air
The chance to live again
So ready your guns, prepare for the end
Cause the last thing that you'll hear is
"Off with his head!"
[Breakdown: Dave Escamilla]
Get over here you, son of a bitch
You're not getting away from me that easily
Rip him to pieces!
With the force of ten thousand guns
I destroy everything you built
Corner you with nowhere to run
Then I tear your black heart straight out of your chest
[Guitar Solo]
[Post-Breakdown: Andrew Rockhold]
I took his crown of fire
And I crushed it with my hands
I came, I saw, and I conquered
[Chorus 2: Andrew Rockhold]
So, did you miss me?
Well, here's my farewell
I'm crazier than I ever fucking was
I'm king of the dead and the damned
I thought that this day'd never come
But why should your sinners be saved?
You wouldn't be free without me
I'm your leader, your savior, your king
And I don't think that I'm ready to leave
[Chant: Andrew Rockhold and Dave Escamilla]
So, gather ye demons, it seems it's your day
I sin but I've paid more than ten thousand graves
And though we're the damned
We're so far from alone
So let's bury the hatchet inside of their skulls
[Outro]
What the fuck happened (So gather ye demons)
I can feel air inside my lungs again (It's seems it's your day)
(Don't ever trust the Devil, bitch!) (I sin but I paid more than ten thousand graves)
And I know that my destiny (And though we're the damned)
(See the way your blood spills on the ground) (We’re so far from alone)
It's just a part of satellites (So let's bury the hatchet inside of their skulls)
All because of you! You! You!
