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

D A/C# Bm
The cold-blooded moon.
D A
The captain waits above the celebration
Bm G A
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Bm D A
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
Bm G A D
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
[Verse 4]
D A Bm
They shaved her head.
D A
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
Bm G A
D# messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
Bm D A
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Bm G A D
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

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

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

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