 Am 
  
          Am                 
 From the hands it came down 
          Dm                
 From the side it came down 
          E                 
 From the feet it came down 
     Am                
 And ran to the ground 
         Am              
 Between heaven and hell 
   Dm            
 A teardrop fell 
        E                
 In the deep crimson dew 
     Am                
 The tree of life grew 
 
|        C               
|And the blood gave life 
|       G                    
|To the branches of the tree 
|        F                   
|And the blood was the price 
|     G                     
|That set the captives free 
|        C                 
|And the numbers that came 
|            G                  
|Through the fire and the flood 
|F                 
|Clung to the tree 
|           Am                  
|And were redeemed by the blood 
 
 From the tree streamed a light 
 That started the fight 
 'Round the tree grew a vine 
 On whose fruit I could dine 
 My old friend Lucifer came 
 Fought to keep me in chains 
 But I saw through the tricks 
 Of six-sixty-six 
 
 {chorus} 
 
 From his hands it came down 
 From his side it came down 
 From his feet it came down 
 And ran to the ground 
 And a small inner voice 
 Said "You do have a choice." 
 The vine engrafted me 
 And I clung to the tree 
 
 {chorus} 
 
          Am                 
 From his hands it came down 
          Dm                
 From his side it came down 
          E                 
 From his feet it came down 
     Am                
 And ran to the ground 
 
Enjoy!
