Current song lyrics
Sixteen years,<br />Sixteen banners united over the field<br />Where the good shepherd grieves.<br />Desperate men, desperate women divided,<br />Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.<br /><br />Fortune calls. I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,<br />Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.<br />She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,<br />On midsummer's eve, near the tower.<br /><br />The cold-blooded moon.<br />The captain waits above the celebration<br />Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid<br />Whose ebony face is beyond communication.<br />The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.<br /><br />They shaved her head.<br />She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.<br />A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.<br />I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,<br />Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.<br /><br />I stumbled to my feet.<br />I rode past destruction in the ditches<br />With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.<br />Renegade priests and treacherous young witches<br />Who were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.<br /><br />The palace of mirrors<br />Where dog soldiers are reflected,<br />The endless road and the wailing of chimes,<br />The empty rooms where her memory is protected,<br />Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.<br /><br />She wakes him up<br />Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking<br />Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.<br />She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.<br />He's pulling her down and she's clutching onto his long golden locks.<br /><br />Gentlemen, he said,<br />I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,<br />I've moved your mountains and marked your cards<br />But Eden is burning, either get ready for elimination<br />Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.<br /><br />Peace will come with tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire<br />But will offer no reward when her false idols fall<br />And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating<br />Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
