[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]16 years,
[Em]16 banne[G]rs unite[D]d over the field[Em]
Where [C]the good shepherd grieves
[D]desperate men[Em]
Desperate wo[G]men divided
[D]spreading their wing[Em]s
Beneath [C]the falling [D]leaves[G]
Fortune [Em]calls, I step [G]forth from the shad
[D]ows to the market[Em]place
Merchants and [C]thieves hungry for power[D],
my last deal gone [Em]down
She's smelling sweet [G]like the mead
[D]ows where she was [Em]born
On
Midsummer's
[C]Eve, near [D]the [G]tower[D][C][G][C][G][D][C][D]
[G]
A cold -blooded [Em]moon
The captain wait[G]s above
the celebration
[D]He's sending his [Em]thoughts to
a [C]beloved maid[D]en
Whose ebony [Em]face is bey
[G]ond communication
[D]The captain's [Em]down,
still believing that his
And love [C]will [D]be repaid
[G]They shaved her hea[Em]d
She was torn between
[G]Jupiter and
Apollo
[D]A messenger arr[Em]ived
With a [C]black night[Em]ingale
[D]I see[Em]n her on the stairs
And I [G]could not help but fol[D]low
Follower [Em]down past the fountain
where they [C]lifted [D]her [G]veil
I stumbled to [Em]my feet
I rode [D]past destruc[G]tion
In the [D]ditches with the stitches
[Em]Still mending beneath a heart
[C]-shaped tattoo
[D]Renegade [Em]priests and
[G]treacherous young [D]witches
Go ahead and hang [Em]out the flowers,
flowers that [C]I've given [D]to [G]you[D][C][G][D][C]
[G][D][C][D][G]
The palace of [Em]mirrors,
where dark soldier[G]s are reflect[D]ed
The endless [Em]road,
and [C]the wailing [Em]of chimes
[D]The empty roo[Em]ms,
where a [G]memory is protected
[D]Where the [Em]angels' voices whisper
to [C]the souls of [D]previous [G]times
She wakes him [Em]up 48 hours la[G]ter
The sun is break[D]ing near
broken chain[Em]s
Mountain and [C]wall and rolling rock
[D]She's begging [Em]to know
[D]What meas[G]ures he now will be tak[D]ing
He's pulling [Em]her down
And she's clutching onto his
[C]long [D]golden lock[G]s
Gentleman, he [Em]said
I don't need [G]your organization
[D]I've shined your shoes
[Em]I've moved your mountain[C]s
and marked your card[D]s
But even in
His [Em]burning
Either brace yourself [G]for elimination
[D]Or else your [Em]hearts must have the courage
For the chan[C]ging [D]of the god[G]s
Peace will [Em]come
With tran[G]quility and [D]splendor on the wheels
of [Em]fire
But we'll [C]bring no reward
[D]when our false idols
[Em]fall
And cruel [G]death [D]surrenders with its pale
[Em]Ghost retreatin' between the king [C]and the quee[D]n of sword[G]s[D]
[Em][G][D][Em][C]
[D][Em][G][D][Em][C][D]
[G][D][G]
Thank watching!
