Intro
Verse 1
Six
teen
years,
Sixteen
banners u
nited over the
fields
While the
good shepherd
grieves
Desperate
men, despe
rate women d
ivided,
Spreading their
wings 'neath the
fal
ling
leaves.
Verse 2
For
tune
calls.
I steppe
d forth from the
shadows, to the market
place,
Merchants and
thieves, hungry for
power, my last deal gone
down.
She's smelling
sweet like the
meadows where she was
born,
On midsummer's
eve,
near the t
ower.
Interlude
Verse 3
The
cold-
blooded
moon.
The captain
waits above the cele
bration
Sending his
thoughts to a
beloved
maid
Whose ebony
face is beyond
communi
cation.
The captain is
down but still believing that his
love will
be repai
d.
Verse 4
They
shaved
her
head.
She was torn between
Jupiter and Apol
lo.
A messenger
arrived with a
black nightin
gale.
I seen her on the
stairs and I
couldn't help but
follow,
Follow her
down past the fountain where they
lif
ted her
veil.
Interlude
Verse 5
I
stumbled
to my
feet.
I rode past
destruction in the
ditches
With the
stitches still mending 'neath a
heart-shaped tat
too.
Renegade
priests and
treacherous young wit
ches
Were
handing out the flowers that I'd
giv
en to
you.
Verse 6
The
palace
of
mirrors
Where dog
soldiers are re
flected,
The endless
road and the
wailing of
chimes,
The empty
rooms where her
memory is pro
tected,
Where the
angels' voices whisper to the
souls of
previous ti
mes.
Interlude
Verse 7
She
wakes
him
up
Forty-eight hours
later, the sun is
breaking
Near broken
chains, mountain la
urel and rolling
rocks.
She's begging to
know what meas
ures he now will be
taking
He's pulling her
down and she's clutching on to hi
s long
golden l
ocks.
Verse 8
Gentle
men, he
said,
I don't
need your organi
zation, I've shined your
shoes,
I've moved your
mountains and marked your
cards
But Eden is bur
ning, either get brav
e for elimi
nation
Or else your h
earts must have the courage for the
changing
of the g
uards.
Interlude
Verse 9
Peace
will
come
With tran
quility and
splendor on the wheels of
fire
But will
offer no re
ward when her false idols
fall
And
cruel death sur
renders with its
pale ghost retreating
Between the
King and the
Queen of Swo
rds.
