Oh my heart had been aching since
the day that I first laid eyes upon you
I knew you were the one
E
Since that day I have never been
the same no-one every could turn me away
Our love had just begun
  A                               E
Then you opened up your heart to me

E
Oh, I never thought our joy would ever
come to an end
'Til one day you were gone
Through the woods, no care in mind and
you were so blind
Snake bit and you were gone

Chorus:
A      Cmaj7       Em                    G
I will follow you down even through the gates of
 A
hell
       Cmaj7      Em
I will save your soul
        G         A
I will make you whole
       Cmaj7     Em
I will not back down
         G               A
I will shatter death's crown
        Cmaj7             E
I will bring you back to life
                          E
I will bring you back to life

Passing by ghosts and souls I made it to
the underworld
My fire grew within
My next task a three-headed monster and
I made it past
I stood before the god of death

Chorus:
Oh, and I will follow you down even through
the gates of hell
I will save your soul, I will make you whole
I will not back down, I will shatter death's crown
I will bring you back to life,
I will bring you back to life

Oh, and I will follow you down even through
the gates of hell
I will save your soul, I will make you whole
I will not back down, I will shatter death's crown
I will bring you back to life
