[00:00.00]	作词 : Dylan
[00:07.53]	Sixteen years,
[00:11.16]	Sixteen banners united over the field
[00:19.28]	Where the good shepherd grieves.
[00:23.28]	Desperate men, desperate women divided,
[00:31.39]	Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
[00:39.22]	Fortune calls.
[00:43.28]	I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
[00:51.09]	Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
[00:59.07]	She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
[01:06.66]	On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
[01:11.10]	The cold-blooded moon.
[01:15.03]	The captain waits above the celebration
[01:18.91]	Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
[01:26.97]	Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
[01:35.09]	The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
[01:51.28]	They shaved her head.
[01:54.91]	She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
[01:58.97]	A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
[02:06.85]	I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
[02:14.91]	Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
[02:22.98]	I stumbled to my feet.
[02:26.63]	I rode past destruction in the ditches
[02:31.50]	With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
[02:38.94]	Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
[02:47.76]	Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
[02:54.83]	The palace of mirrors
[02:58.77]	Where dog soldiers are reflected,
[03:03.02]	The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
[03:10.71]	The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
[03:19.46]	Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
[03:26.71]	She wakes him up
[03:30.45]	Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
[03:34.72]	Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
[03:42.73]	She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
[03:50.73]	He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
[04:06.91]	Gentlemen, he said,
[04:10.91]	I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
[04:18.61]	I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
[04:21.42]	But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
[04:28.92]	Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
[04:39.02]	Peace will come
[04:42.60]	With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
[04:48.80]	But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
[04:58.73]	And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
[05:06.30]	Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
