LYRICS
Oh, well look what we have here boys, everybody give a warm welcome to Johnny
Haha, what do you say we show Johnny a thing or two about what it's like to die?
How could this really have happened?
One second life was looking up, the next I'm on my way down
I thought my story had ended
But if this hell is where I'm trapped then I will seek my revenge
I've come for blood, blood, blood
And I'm not leaving till I have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have done, done, done
I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood
(Blood, your blood)
Because revenge is all I haven't lost
You thought I was through?
You may have killed me but now I'll come for you
You thought I was through?
Well, that was far from your first mistake
I have a twisted mind and I have seen your fate
You think the end is close for you when really, you're fucking late
Your reign is over, there's no forgiveness
There's no forgiveness for all that you've done
I've come for blood, blood, blood
And I'm not leaving till I have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have done, done, done
I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood
(Blood, your blood)
Because revenge is all I haven't lost
You've taken everything I've ever loved
So give me blood, blood, blood
I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood
(Blood, your blood)
I want it all, I want it all
See the way your blood spills on the ground
(Give me your blood)
But then before my eyes, he turned into a man
I've been fooled again, I've been fooled again
You are just a slave
You've dug your bed, deep inside of your grave
Now sleep, you will sleep for eternity, for eternity
I've come for blood, blood, blood
And I'm not leaving till I have your heart
You're going to pay for all that you have done, done, done
I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood
(Blood, your blood)
Because revenge is all I haven't lost
You've taken everything I've ever loved
So give me blood, blood, blood
I'll feel alive when I have blood, your blood
(Blood, your blood)
I want it all

Spencer’s theatrical tone fits this song incredibly well. Need more CTE with Spencer in it.

[@yesh6545]

nah every band only does 1 featuring or two.... reason why spencer, dave and craig are in it is due to the fact that these guys were part of OGs metalcore back in the days... they are pioneers of metalcore

[@Elegies22]

@@yesh6545 these guys are definitely not pioneers of metalcore

[@Elegies22]

@@yesh6545 you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about. Bands can have multiple features for many songs. You don't know what you're even trying to say

[@ShadowWolfe]

How do you get Spencer Charnas and NOT let him do some screams? His cleans are great, but no screams from him is a missed opportunity. I think he could've done the final verses screams much better.

[@jedheath3510]

Ikr !!! I wanted spencer to scream so bad

[@JacobG]

ONGG he could've

[@JacobG]

@Omar Yañez Zavala no. they really aren't

[@emmanuelortega4893]

Especially towards the end like the “YOU ARE JUST A SLAVE” woulda been sick from him

[@rowanplaysbass]

Yeah I kinda agree. I wanted to hear spencer rip some screams on this haha

[@roykalai8801]

i need full version with spencer's vocals this song fits him SO much

[@twinny_mi]

Yesssss we do

[@jnperez7685]

The original song with Dave's vocals can't be topped. Spencer not screaming was a missed opportunity.

[@InDerksWake]

The only thing I liked about this was Craigs vocals honestly. The rest was meh.

[@zaneamalfitano6046]

I disagree. I enjoy Spencer’s cleans way better than his harsh vocals. Him and Craig’s different ranges balancing each other out was genius.

[@anthonycole6839]

I thought the only good part was Spencer’s cleans on this, he sings it better than Andy lol I miss Dave being in the band..

[@lawrence279]

Craig coulda sang more n threw in some screams too. But it’s a nice refresher but I hear y’all on the missed screaming opportunities .

[@TheStevec90]

The mash up was not assigned well. Awesome singers who collaborated but I feel like it just didn’t hit for me

[@johnkennethleyban928]

Man, I miss the combination of Andy's growl and Dave's scream when they perform this live

[@Bananasforthesoul]

Same

[@CMac2104]

Yeah man still miss Dave like crazy, will never forget seeing them live it was amazing

[@AlmondOfDoom]

me too so hard

[@Sparkrdom]

Surprisingly, I don't. Dave sounded like he barely contributed anything more than a voice.

[@iamyetimanYT]

Dave was goated. Wait Escamillo?

[@noahharper8943]

I love Spencer’s singing voice at 2:44 it’s so pure 😎

[@cameronlott242]

Really bummed out how Spencer wasn’t screaming at all during this. There were moments he could have killed it and I was really expecting him to come up too.

[@crownedmartyr]

That's what I'm saying. Spencer does really good like gutteral screams and this really fits like his horror style of music. They missed the opportunity. But it was still cool to hear

[@Dude_man96]

Opportunity missed for sure , Original Dave's vocals are missed I can't lie.

[@crownedmartyr]

@@Dude_man96 yeah. I wonder what Crown would be like if Dave didn't embrace the rockstar life and didn't get kicked from crown

[@AhSawDood]

It seems when Spencer does guest vocals it's usually cleans. Think he saves the screams for INK and lets the guest appearances be a way to do more melodic singing.... I could be 100% wrong, but that's what it seems like.

[@PZ-xb4oj]

Me too

[@ja_cow_ski]

Every time I hear Dave’s voice I cry inside. I miss Kyle 🥺

[@SetForTomorrow]

Same. Rest in piece.

[@lordjunker5027]

now we NEED Johnny’s Rebellion with Spencer as the Devil and Andy as Johnny

[@spishyofficial]

To anyone confused at the Dave comments, CTE had a vocalist named Dave Ecamilla a while back. That's who they're referring to, not Dave Stephens (WCAR).

[@exequiel_hyan]

Dave Escamilla's work in this song was outstanding, doing high pitched vocals and the lowest screams ever. It really was something else. This voice remake wasnt bad at all but it really lacks that... "oomph" that the original had.

[@ctelucas]

Spencer’s vocals just hit different at 3:44 👌🏻

[@ericl3500]

Was hoping for each of them to have a screaming and singing part but this was still unbelievably amazing

[@josephmac1537]

Was it tho???

[@timothee6334]

A bit disappointed that it's more of a cover than a reimagined version, but I'm still stoked to hear them all in one single track!

[@anthonycole6839]

I mean most reimagined versions are acoustic, this is not a song they could do that to 😅

[@timothee6334]

@@anthonycole6839 depends, a reimagined version could be more orchestral, have chord progressions changes, new parts and even breakdowns 👀 just look at the reimagined version of Darkbloom by We Came As Romans

[@A7XDORKIS98]

@@anthonycole6839 I meannn, they did an acoustic for johnny ringo so why not revenge 👀👀👀

[@anthonycole6839]

I loved this band way back, but after Dave left it died to me. Listening to this really makes me miss seeing the OG CTE back in the day…

[@Bellaripper666]

Oh my God Spencer! 🖤😈🖤 Just wow his voice and theatrical tone…. It just perfect for him and fits perfectly. Fuck I love Spencer Charnas! 🖤🔪🖤

[@Chelsbells012]

I miss Dave’s screams, but I’m glad that Spencer and the others joined to do this. Going to see them soon!

[@ProvokerZ]

Craig nailed it, the clean parts are just tailored for him. The screams are underwhelming, Escamilla did it better, by far. Sucks that Spencer didn't do any screaming, or had more participation in general.

[@l3wdlemon708]

it's just good to have Craig back. he's back in the band D.R.U.G.S too

[@briannac4016]

I love D.R.U.G.S, one of my favorite bands. Not very many people I know listen to them

[@ethanhittle584]

Drugs is back together?

[@ethanhittle584]

Since when.? That's fucking amazing. It'd be great to see more than one album from them.

[@FairyCRat]

​@@ethanhittle584Well not really, Craig just made a whole new band and kept the name

[@CBdrummer12]

I'll always support this band but it will never be the same without Dave in it.

[@rachel5150]

I am LIVING for the Andy Leo and Spencer Charnas voice combo. Spencer’s voice is fucking god tier

well it was not andy in that song, but Craig owen from drugs

[@rounax666]

holyshit, this is like core kids massive dream mash-up. so good !

[@twinny_mi]

You're so right 🤣

[@markthorliebmann]

Really wish Spencer had been a bigger part of this

[@Joshuar9065]

I love crown the empire but never really got into this song back in the day. This version made me appreciate the orginal.

[@DJKronikCam710]

Omg!! Spencer charnas and Craig Owens are 2 of my all time favorite vocalists!! This is amazing

[@AttackonDragons]

Forgot about this gem!

[@joshgodman815]

Really like the editing choice of having the signs come up for who's singing, gg RISE I'll be playing this all day

[@darrenmay8665]

Give us a Spencer and Dave E. Version. Or just give us Dave back entirely. This band really needs him

[@xrxextxrxox4766]

I’m confused on the fact that they left in some of David’s growls during the beginning and the second verse. I’m also conflicted on the fact that Spencer didn’t do uncleans at all. Andy and David were such a great vocal match together, I don’t think anything could top that IMO. I’m not saying this is bad, it just doesn’t hit the same.

[@raye7516]

I agree 100% it didn't feel as twisted as the original, which was one of my favorite aspects of the johnny trio songs how evil it sounded it just doesn't hit the same

[@albertogonzalez5375]

I noticed they left Dave’s growls in it as well. For a second I got excited but alas, nothing. This version may grow on me but I still prefer the original.

[@ianbarber2937]

Nice pfp

[@vhsquiver]

WE NEED A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS

[@fernaureason7150]

So good to hear Craig Owens voice again. I Miss Chiodos.

[@TheWicked1999]

1:12 really missed opportunity to have Spencer do his unique growls

[@Seraphim013]

I was hoping for layered vocal of Dave and spencers screams but this was a sick reimagining

[@Dystractible]

I'm a simple man. I see Spencer, i click.

[@sabrasfx9350]

One of my all time favorite songs by Crown The Empire…. I wish Spencer screamed more. Still a great listen I just wish they went harder . 🖤🤘🏻

[@oraclemother]

I love this sooooo much. Hardcore kid’s dream with this collab! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@catatansidriver5570]

Welcome back. with music back to the beginning

[@wollsmoth69]

Wish Spencer would've done way more here.

[@sic1withit]

Cool song but damn! You guys really got my hopes up with this one. My first thought when I read the title and the feature was The Devil Went Down to Georgia Part 2 Johnny’s Revenge. That needs to done. Great title! Missed Opportunity

[@ItzMasonn]

I feel like this was going to be a powerhouse re-release and am a little let down, you have Spencer who can deliver some absolutely brutal screams and you use him for just cleans. But overall, I love the song, but maybe I’m letting nostalgia cloud my judgement

[@thezettaflare]

Totally agree, wish there was a bit more Spencer.

[@moiseslopez8709]

Yep, spencer should’ve done the first verse, great song nonetheless

[@Hollowism]

For sure, no shade to Dave, but Spencer could’ve DESTROYED some of the screams.

[@MG86578]

true

[@rnfll]

i agree with you but Spenser's clean voice is good too, i think it will be much better if Spenser use all type of he's vocals on this song

[@joshdean6243]

So extremely Awesome! This is one of the best collabs in a while everyone involved is incredible This is my favorite song on The Fallout and to hear it done like this is really amazing I just wish Spencer would have had some screams as well but it’s alright

[@dobsashimself]

Geez! This is a house on fire and lapping up it's warmth!

[@kyleranderson5557]

I would be %100 percent okay with one more version with Spencer screaming

[@kenyonsimmons9507]

Very legendary triad here. Very beautifully done, boys. You did Andy and David's duet on this justice for sure.

[@ryuiti9886]

Thank You Crown The Empire 💙

[@MutantWyvern]

Pure nostalgia. I haven't heard this since 2019

Just got back home a little bit ago from your LIVE show in Reading, PA! Haven't seen ya'll since The Break Down The Walls Tour in 2012 in Pittsburgh and ya'll are just as good if not better live than I remember! Took 2 friends to their first concert tonight and they loved it! Thank you for a good night and for countless years of savage music!

[@gabrielkills5394]

Que increíble es cuando varios vocalistas se unen en una sola canción

[@ErikJason_]

You know when bands collab each other, it's gonna be massive and done perfectly and this one didn't disappoint at all but...the original still unmatched.

[@twinny_mi]

They need to have a supergroup now

[@viol3tz320]

Crown the empire has been my favorite band since 2015 and this is one of my absolute favorite songs from them, but i feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity having Spencer one of the best screamers in metalcore at the moment (in my opinion) and just letting him on cleans. The song overall is an absolute banger just wish the screaming was handled differently

[@Sigg-yu7pd]

Huge! I love it. And the combo is paradise. So happy about this song.

[@sumSOTY]

Wow, this was a nice surprise

[@calebhood3066]

Right lol I just got off and was not expecting this 😭

[@BloodHoundBeatz]

People complain too much... They didn't have to do this version at all, but it's obviously a tribute to the album for the 10th year anniversary. No it's not the original, but that's the point. It's not like they erased the original and replaced it with this. Take it for what it is, an awesome Collab with some great vocalists!! Also just because someone can scream well (Spencer) doesn't mean they always have to. Anyways, great job on the new version guys!!

[@str1897]

Craig on the chorus is such a great choice

[@zacharyvangilst4956]

I can't say I disagree with all the scream commentary, but in the same token I found this version only today because I was looking for an official video but wow so cool all the same!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👊

[@LuisXita]

Que grata nostalgia, hace años que la trilogía de Johnny son de mis temas favoritos 🔥

[@GabrielGonzalez-ec8dn]

I’m legit bricked up rn, thank you for this

[@FeedYourGreed]

The original is iconic for a reason. This was an awesome way to pay homage to it with 3 super talented vocalists joined. I really enjoyed this.

[@555abrina]

no way they got spencer charnas on this!? always thought the johnny songs were so ice nine kills

[@lucidsaddness6610]

Without Dave it just ain't it the vocal power he put into the Johnny trilogy was incredible.

[@robbyfahrussalam7885]

My favorite part is craig owens' part and I agree spencer should do unclean vocal and craig too because his unclean is powerful in "devil" and dave maybe can fill some clean part, andy's should taking part too because it's his band

I love this band but they just have to leave these old tracks alone. I find it super odd that they put out this rereleased version of such a great song and can’t even get Dave E. to run ONE feature for old times sake??? There must’ve been more behind the scenes than we are led on to believe with this bands break up.

[@txymxr]

they have replaced the entire limitless album with the orinigal ep verisons (the ones without dave on them.) on spotify and apple music. i noticed it happening slowly and it drove me insane

[@InspiringHowUCThat]

Awesome 🤩🤘🏻

[@colinthereptileguy]

Why is this off Apple Music? It’s such a banger.

[@Ricisapsycho]

Good re-release but it could have been good if Spencer was only featured don't get me wrong Dave's a good vocalist but feel like this song fits Spencer more plus no screams from him was kinda of a let down

[@Lich0775]

Hell yeah 🖤🤘🏻

[@tanasmom1969]

I was hoping Spencer was going to cut loose in this song. This was right up his alley to tear it up. It was still good though. They all sound awesome. I agree with whoever said that Spencer not screaming at all was a missed opportunity.
