[00:08.22]Sixteen years,
[00:11.92]Sixteen banners united over the field
[00:19.92]Where the good shepherd grieves
[00:23.77]Desperate men, desperate women divided
[00:31.69]Spreading their wings neath the falling leaves
[00:39.00]
[00:39.52]Fortune calls
[00:43.17]I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace
[00:51.10]Merchants and thieves
[00:52.67]hungry for power, my last deal gone down
[00:58.65]She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born
[01:06.36]On midsummers eve, near the tower
[01:10.06]
[01:26.02]The cold-blooded moon
[01:29.62]The captain waits above the celebration
[01:33.96]Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
[01:41.49]Whose ebony face is beyond communication
[01:49.00]The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid
[01:56.00]
[01:56.64]They shaved her head
[02:00.43]She was torn between jupiter and apollo
[02:04.59]A messenger arrived with a black nightingale
[02:12.25]I seen her on the stairs and I couldnt help but follow
[02:20.02]Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil
[02:27.01]
[02:43.24]I stumbled to my feet
[02:46.78]I rode past destruction in the ditches
[02:51.40]With the stitches still mending neath a heart-shaped tattoo
[02:58.85]Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
[03:07.12]Were handing out the flowers that i'd given to you
[03:13.01]
[03:14.09]The palace of mirrors
[03:17.69]Where dog soldiers are reflected
[03:21.66]The endless road and the wailing of chimes
[03:29.45]The empty rooms where her memory is protected
[03:36.95]Where the angels voices whisper to the souls of previous times
[03:44.00]
[04:00.21]She wakes him up
[04:03.61]Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
[04:07.73]Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks
[04:15.52]Shes begging to know what measures he now will be taking
[04:23.33]he's pulling her down and shes clutching on to his long golden locks
[04:31.07]
[04:31.18]Gentlemen, he said
[04:34.80]I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes
[04:42.40]I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
[04:45.86]But eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
[04:53.84]Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards
[05:01.55]
[05:17.10]Peace will come
[05:20.64]With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
[05:28.70]But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
[05:36.02]And cruel death surrenders with it's pale ghost retreating
[05:43.78]Between the king and the queen of swords
