Guide You Home (I Would Die For You) is a song that plays during the ending credits of Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. It is based strongly on the close relationship that Spyro and Cynder share, though it can also be linked to Spyro and Ignitus' relationship. The song is composed and sung by Gabriel Mann and Rebecca Kneubuhl.
Lyrics[]
(Rebecca Kneubuhl)
This is the darkest night
Stars have all faded away
Quiet upon this world
(Rebecca Kneubuhl and Gabriel Mann)
Through the clouds, there is a light
We will find our way
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
You set me free
And this fire will guide you...
(Rebecca Kneubuhl)
home
(Gabriel Mann)
There is an open door
Somehow it feels so familiar
(Rebecca Kneubuhl and Gabriel Mann)
We have been here before
Through this old forgotten fight
There must be a way
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
You set me free
And this fire will guide you home
(Chorus Oh-Oh-Oh)
Where our hearts are wide open
(Chorus Oh-Oh-Oh)
Where our bond is unbroken
(Rebecca Kneubuhl)
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
(Gabriel Mann and Rebecca Kneubuhl)
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will send out a light burning for you alone
You're all I need
(Gabriel Mann)
You set me free
(Chorus)
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will wait for you
And I'll stay with you
(Rebecca Kneubuhl)
You're all I need
(Chorus)
I would die for you
Cross the sky for you
I will wait for you
(Gabriel Mann and Rebecca Kneubuhl)
You set me free
Set me free
And this fire will guide you home
