Dm I challenge you Am I challenge you all Dm For all you own Am And all you know G A And by all the powers of darkness Dm A I will steal what is mine Dm Am Surrender now or face my spite Dm Am I grant you it may be friday night G But did you know this day A Dm Also numbers thirteen G First I'll give you fire A Dm I turn your fire into a sleepy stream G Yes, now I give you nightmare A Dm From your horror I'll create a dream Gm You cannot fight me A Dm For I have the sword of hate Gm Dm But one thing you can't see Gm Dm My answer is simply Gm A An impenetrable fortress Dm G Dm A Dm G Dm Am B7 Of love.... love...

Dm G Dm will find love will find love .. A Dm will find love will find love ..
