Verse 2: 3:08
     D               C       G
Then at the dead of midnight as
    D                  C     G
We watched the dancing firelight,
    D
The air grew cold
     C         G         D   C:G
And seemed to dull the flame.
3:18
     D              C     G
The fire died, the music faded,
 D                   C        G
Filled with fear of death we waited,
     D
For now we knew
     C     G       D  C:G | D C:G
Some evil was to blame.

I challenge you,

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.
8:11
           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 | A
Also numbers thirteen?
8:26
 Dm                   G
First, I'll give you fire,
             A                    Dm
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream.
                     G
Yes, now I give you nightmares,
           A                     Dm
From your horror I'll create a dream.
8:39
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 of

The fear went

The fire burned again.

The flames leapt,

The organ played,

The swans sang
     G
To greet the day,
