Sixteen years,

Sixteen banners united over the fields

While the good shepherd grieves

Desperate men, desperate women divided,

Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.

Fortune calls.

I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
D Fb F#m
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
A Fb F#m
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
D Fb A
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.

The cold-blooded moon.

The captain waits above the celebration
F#m D Fb
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
F#m A Fb
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.

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

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

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