Intro: G#
Fm
Sixteen years,
G# D# Fm
Sixteen banners united over the fields
C# D#
While the good shepherd grieves
Fm G# D#
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Fm C# D# G#
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
Fm
Fortune calls.
G# D# Fm
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
C# D# Fm
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
G# D# Fm
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
C# D# G#
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
(Interlude)
Fm
The cold-blooded moon.
G# D#
The captain waits above the celebration
Fm C# D#
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Fm G# D#
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
Fm C# D# G#
The captain is down but still believing that his love
will be repaid.
Fm
They shaved her head.
G# D#
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
Fm C# D#
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
Fm G# D#
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Fm C# D# G#
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
(Interlude)
Fm
I stumbled to my feet.
G# D#
I rode past destruction in the ditches
Fm C# D#
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Fm G# D#
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Fm C# D# G#
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
Fm
The palace of mirrors
G# D#
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
Fm C# D#
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
Fm G# D#
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Fm C# D# G#
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
(Interlude)
Fm
She wakes him up
G# D#
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Fm C# D#
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
Fm G# D#
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
Fm C# D# G#
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his
long golden locks.
Fm
Gentlemen, he said,
G# D# Fm
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
C# D#
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
Fm G# D#
But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination
Fm C# D# G#
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing
of the guards.
(Interlude)
Fm
Peace will come
G# D# Fm
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
C# D# Fm
But will offer no reward when her false idols fall
G# D# Fm
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
C# D# G#
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
Fm G# D#
