Lyrics Crown the Empire

Crown the Empire

Johnny's Rebellion

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 out there, please help me, ah!

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

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

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

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 them 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

You think you can run?

You think you can hide?

No! I'm done hiding!

I challenge you to fight me to the death

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

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!"

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

I took his crown of fire

And I crushed it with my hands

I came, I saw, and I conquered

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 you 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

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
