Sixteen years (sixteen years)
Sixteen banners united over the fields (over the fields)
Where the good shepherd grieves
Desperate men (desperate men) desperate women divided
Spreading their wings ’neath the falling leaves

Fortune calls (fortune calls)
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace (marketplace)
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down (last deal gone down)
She’s smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born (where she was born)
On midsummer’s eve, near the tower

The cold-blooded moon (cold blooded moon)
The captain waiting above the celebration
Sending his thoughts (sending his thoughts) to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face (ebony face) is beyond communication
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid

They shaved her head (shaved her head)
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo
A messenger arrived (messenger arrived) with a black nightingale
I seen her on the stairs (seen her on the stairs) and I couldn't help but follow
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil

I stumbled to my feet (stumbled to my feet)
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending ’neath a heart-shaped tattoo
Renegade priests (renegade priests) and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I’d given to you

The palace of mirrors (palace of mirrors)
Where dog soldiers are reflected
The endless road (endless road) and the wailing of chimes
The empty rooms (empty rooms) where her memory is protected
Where the angels’ voices whisper to the souls of previous times

She wakes him up (wakes him up)
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains (broken chains) mountain laurel and rolling rocks
She’s begging to know (begging to know) what measures he now will be taking
He’s pulling her down and she’s clutching on to his long golden locks

Gentlemen, he said (gentlemen he said) 
I don’t need your organization, I've shined your shoes (shined your shoes)
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning (Eden is burning) either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards

Peace will come (peace will come)
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire (wheels of fire)
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall (false idols fall)
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I’m someone I've never met.
You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill un-found from a pretty mouth.

Everybody gets there and everybody gets their, and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I’m the only one to blame.

Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.
I feel the same, I’m on my way, and I say.
Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.

I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows,
I want to go where everyone feels the same.
I never said I’d leave the city,
I never said I’d leave this town.
A falling out we won’t tiptoe about.

Everybody gets there and everybody gets their, and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I’m the only one to blame.

Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say.
Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.
I feel the same, and I say.
Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.
Well things have changed for me, come on everybody let's dance and sing
I feel the same, and I say
I'm singing it all night long, come on everybody and join along, I'm singing
Things have changed for me, and that's okay
Well things have changed for me, come on everyone let's dance and sing
I feel the same, and I say
I'm singing it all night long, come on everybody let's sing along
Things have changed for me, and that's okay,
I'm on my way, and I say.....
Things have changed for me.

Every time I want to change, there is someone at my door, 
when I'm back to rearrange you just want more
keep the score
And now it makes me wonder, but now ..

When the changes come will you run and hide?
I know you will, you will forget your pride.. 
Will you stand your ground? 
Will you run and hide?
