Intro
Ab
Verse
Sixteen Fmyears
Sixteen Abbanners Ebunited over the Fmfields
While the Dbgood shepherd Ebgrieves
Desperate Fmmen Abdesperate women Ebdivided
Spreading their Fmwings 'neath the DbfallEbing Ableaves.
Verse
Fortune Fmcalls.
I stepped Abforth from the Ebshadows to the Fmmarketplace
Merchants and Dbthieves hungry for Ebpower my last deal gone Fmdown.
She's smelling Absweet like the Ebmeadows where she was Fmborn
On midsummer's Dbeve Ebnear the Abtower.
(Instrumental)
Verse
The cold-blooded Fmmoon.
The captain Abwaits above the Ebcelebration
Sending his Fmthoughts to a Dbbeloved Ebmaid
Whose ebony Fmface is beyond AbcommuniEbcation.
The captain is Fmdown but still believing that his Dblove will Ebbe Abrepaid.
Verse
They shaved her Fmhead.
She was torn between AbJupiter and EbApollo.
A messenger Fmarrived with a Dbblack Ebnightingale.
I seen her on the Fmstairs and I Abcouldn't help but Ebfollow
Follow her Fmdown past the fountain where they Dblifted Ebher Abveil.
(Instrumental)
Verse
I stumbled to my Fmfeet.
I rode past Abdestruction in the Ebditches
With the Fmstitches still mending 'neath a Dbheart-shaped Ebtattoo.
Renegade Fmpriests and Abtreacherous young Ebwitches
Were Fmhanding out the flowers that I'd Dbgiven Ebto Abyou.
Verse
The palace of Fmmirrors
Where dog Absoldiers are Ebreflected
The endless Fmroad and the Dbwailing of Ebchimes
The empty Fmrooms where her Abmemory is Ebprotected
Where the Fmangels' voices whisper to the Dbsouls of Ebprevious Abtimes.
(Instrumental)
Verse
She wakes him Fmup
Forty-eight hours Ablater the sun is Ebbreaking
Near broken Fmchains mountain Dblaurel and rolling Ebrocks.
She's begging to Fmknow what Abmeasures he now will be Ebtaking
He's pulling her Fmdown and she's clutching on to his Dblong Ebgolden Ablocks.
Verse
Gentlemen he Fmsaid
I don't Abneed your Eborganization I've shined your Fmshoes
I've moved your Dbmountains and marked your Ebcards
But Eden is Fmburning either get brave Abfor Ebelimination
Or else your Fmhearts must have the courage for the Dbchanging Ebof the Abguards.
(Instrumental)
Verse
Peace will Fmcome
With Abtranquility and Ebsplendor on the wheels of Fmfire
But will Dboffer no Ebreward when her false idols Fmfall
And Abcruel death Ebsurrenders with its Fmpale ghost retreating
Between the DbKing and the EbQueen of AbSwords.
