[Bm]
[E]
[C]
[G]
[D] Halls of the stone tower [E] in the foothills
[C] Why should we hide from [G] anyone?
[D] Held you in my arms [E] for the first time that [Em] day
[C] Felt like God's anointed when [G] you didn't push me away
[A] [Bm] Gold light shining on [C] so many things
[G]
in [Bm] the age of kings
Gold light shining [E] on [C] so many things
[D] in [G]
[Bm] the age of kings
Lean on the concrete walls [E] in shadow
Why
[C] should we wait to throw [G] the switch?
[Bm] Felt your [E] name [D] burning
Like [E] a tattoo into my skin
[C] Rain on the clay tiles all night [G] your head nestled beneath my chin
[B] gold light shining on
[C] so many things
[G]
[C#] in the age of kings
[Bm] gold light shining on
[C] so many things
[D] [G]
[A] [F#] in the age of kings
in [A] the lost age
Where
[D] [A] the jewels hide and [G] sword sticks
In [D] the waiting stone [A] still one

Small chambers shrinking till [E] they vanish
[C] Wolves in the hallway gaining [G] ground

[C] Shadows and their sources now
[G] Stealing away with you
[Bm] gold light shining on
[C] so many things
in [G]
[Bm] the age of [F#m] kings
[Bm] [E] gold light [Bm] shining on
[C] so many things
[G]
[Bm] in the age of kings
