16 [F] years, _ _ _ _ [E] 16 [Ab] _ years, Banners [Eb] united _ over [Fm] the fields, _ _ _ _
[F] where [Db] the good shepherd [Eb] breeds desperate [Fm] men,
_ _ desperate _
[A] _ [Ab] _ _ women, [Eb] divided, spreading [F] their wings, _ _ _ _ [Am] need [Db] their [Ab] farms. _ _ _
[F] Fortune calls, _ I step [G] [Ab] forth, _ from [Eb] the shadows to the [Fm] marketplace, _ _ _ _ _
merchants [Db] and thieves, hungry [Eb] for power, my last year [F] gone down.
_ _ She is [Ab] smelly and sweet like [Eb] the meadows where she [Fm] was born,
_ _ _ on [Db] midsummers [Eb] evening in [Ab] the tower, _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [E] the [F] cold flooded moon,
_ _ the [G] captain [Ab] waits above the [Eb] celebration, sending [Fm] his thoughts,
_ _ _ to [Db] a _ beloved [Eb] maid whose [Fm] heavenly face _ _ _ is [Ab] beyond _ _ [Eb] communication,
the captain [Fm] is down but still believing that [Db] his love will be [Ab] repaid, the [F] shaper head.
_ _ She was [E] torn [Ab] between Jupiter [Eb] and Apollo, a [Fm] messenger arrived, _ _ _
[Am] with [Db] their black and [Eb] nightingale, I sing [Fm] down the stairs,
_ _ and [Am] [Ab] I couldn't help but [Eb] follow, follow [Fm] her down,
past the fountain where [Db] they [Eb] left at her [Ab] veil.
I _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
stumbled [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] to my feet, _ _ I walked [G] past [Ab] the structure,
in [Eb] the _ ditches, with [Fm] the stitches, still beneath [Db] the harsh [Eb] tattoo, _ _
[Fm] renegade priests, _ _ a [Am] _ [Ab] _ _ treacherous [Eb] young witch is,
[Fm] handing out the flowers [C] that [Db] I had [Eb] given [Ab] to you,
the palace [F] of mirrors, _ where [E] dark [Ab] soldiers,
are [Eb] reflected, begin to [Fm] stroll, _ _ _ _ [D] and [Db] the wailing of [Eb] chimes, the [Fm] empty rooms,
_ _ where _ [Ab] her memory [Eb] is protected, where [F] the angels voices whisper,
to the [Db] souls of [Ab] tedious times. _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ She wakes [F] him up, _ _ 48 [G] hours [Ab] later, the sun is [Eb] breaking,
nipple can [Fm] _ change, _ _ a [Am] mountain [Db] laurel and rolling [Eb] rocks,
she's begging to [Fm] know, _ _ what measures,
[Ab] _ now will [Eb] be taken, he's pulled her [Fm] down, and she is clutching,
punching [E] [Db] him, long rolling [Ab] rocks,
[Gb] gentlemen, [F] he said, _ _ _ I [G] don't [Ab] need, your [Eb] organization, I've [Fm] shined your shoes,
_ _ _ I've [C] moved your [Db] mountains, and marked your [Eb] cards,
but [F] Eden is burning, _ _ _ look at [C] the [Ab] air,
for [Eb] elimination, or else your [Fm] hearts, must have,
courage, before [A] the [Db] changing [Eb] _ [Ab] of the gods, _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _
[Ab] a _ _ _ _ _ peace [F] will _ come, _ with [Ab] tranquility,
and [Eb] splendor, from the wheels [Fm] of fire,
the wheels of fire,
but [Db] we'll offer no _ [Eb] reward,
in the false [F] idol's call,
_ _ _ _ and who dare,
surrender,
[Eb] _ _ will this, [Fm] pale ghost retreat,
to the [C] tree, the [Db] _ [Eb] canopy, [Ab] the doors,
