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

The cold-blooded moon.
F C
The captain waits above the celebration
Dm A# C
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Dm F C
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
Dm A# C F
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

They shaved her head.

She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.

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

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

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

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