Staind has so many good songs, but Mudshovel is quintessential Staind.

"Johnny Ringo"
This is your time,
Your life's flashing before your eyes.
And soon enough you will realize that this is goodbye,
But what if I gave you a chance?
You just have to sell your soul.
Look around, what do you see?
The choices you never had the guts to make?
I'm sorry you never could be the man that you wanted,
But regret is wasted on me.
I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.
This feeling's amazing, I know.
But be careful, you know not what you wish for.
Granted life again but now you've cheated death.
There's no where to run when you run from yourself.
But fear not for as long as you live you are mine,
And even in death you will find.
You've lived with regret for so long but now,
Is your chance to change what has been wrong.
I can feel air inside my lungs again.
All because of you.
I can rebuild my life and start again.
All because of you.
And I know that my destiny wasn't written in the stars,
It was just a part of satellites and it's all because of you.
Yeah, it's all because of you.
Don't ever trust the devil, bitch!
I never wanted this.
(It's time that you suffered the consequence.)
I should have know my time was up.
(I gave you your time, and now your soul is mine.)
I can't feel air inside my lungs.
I'm dead.
All because of...
YOU!
All because of you!
I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead!
All because of you!
I can't rebuild my life and start again,
All because of you!
All because of you!
All because of...
"Johnny's Revenge"
Ha ha ha ha
Oh well look what we have here boys
Everybody give a warm welcome to
Johnny!
Ha ha, 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
I want it all
I want it all
See the way
Your blood spills on the ground
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 slave, 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
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
I want it all!
"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
Some Finnish melancholy for you guys!! :D
