[Verse 1]
A# F/A Gm
Sixteen years,
A# F Gm
Sixteen banners united over the fields
Eb F
While the good shepherd grieves
Gm A# F
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Gm Eb F A#
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
[Verse 2]
A# F/A Gm
Fortune calls.
A# F Gm
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
Eb F Gm
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
A# F Gm
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
Eb F A#
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.

The cold-blooded moon.
A# F
The captain waits above the celebration
Gm Eb F
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Gm A# F
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
Gm Eb F A#
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
[Verse 4]
A# F Gm
They shaved her head.
A# F
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
Gm Eb F
B messenger arrived with a black nightingale.

I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,

Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

[Verse 5]
A# F/A Gm
I stumbled to my feet.
A# F
I rode past destruction in the ditches
Gm Eb F
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Gm A# F
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Gm Eb F A#
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
[Verse 6]
A# F Gm
The palace of mirrors
A# F
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
Gm Eb F
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
Gm A# F
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Gm Eb F A#
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

A# F Gm
She wakes him up
A# F
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Gm Eb F
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
Gm A# F
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
Gm Eb F A#
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
[Verse 8]
A# F Gm
Gentlemen, he said,
A# F Gm
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
Eb F
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
Gm A# F
But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination
Gm Eb F A#
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

[Verse 9]
A# F Gm
Peace will come
A# F Gm
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
Eb F Gm
But will offer no reward when her false idols fall
A# F Gm
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Eb F A#
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
