  • Verse 1
    Sixteen 
    years 

    Sixteen 
    banners 
    united 

    over 
    the field 

    Where 
    the 
    good 
    shepherd 
    grieves 

    Desperate 
    men, 

    desperate 
    women 
    di
    vided 

    Spreading 
    their 
    wings 
    'neath 

    falling 
    leaves. 

    Verse 2
    Fortune 
    calls 

    stepped 
    forth 
    from 
    the shadows 

    to 
    the market
    place 

    Merchants 
    and 
    thieves, 
    hungry 
    for 
    power

    my 
    last 
    deal 
    gone 
    down 

    She's 
    smelling 
    sweet 
    like 

    the meadows 
    where 
    she 
    was 
    born 

    On 
    midsummer's 
    eve 
    near 
    the 
    tower. 

    The 
    cold- 
    blooded 
    moon 
    Verse 3

    The captain 
    waits 
    above 

    the celebra
    tion 

    Sending 
    his 
    thoughts 
    to 

    beloved 
    maid

    Whose 
    ebony 
    face 
    is 
    bey

    ond 
    communic
    ation 

    The 
    captain 
    is 
    down 
    but 
    still 
    believing 
    that 
    his 

    love 
    will 
    be 
    re
    paid. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    They shaved 
    her 
    head 

    She 
    was 
    torn 
    between 
    Jupiter 

    and 
    Apol
    lo 

    A messenger 
    ar
    rived 
    with 

    black 
    nightin
    gale 

    I seen 
    her 
    on 
    the stairs 
    and 

    could
    n't 
    help 
    but 
    follow 

    Follow 
    her 
    down 
    past 
    the fountain 
    where 

    they 
    lifted 
    her 
    veil. 

    Verse 5
    I stumbled 
    to 
    my feet 

    rode 
    past 
    de
    struction 
    in 
    the ditches 

    With 
    the stitches 
    still 
    mending 
    beneath 

    heart- 
    shaped 
    tat
    too 

    Renegade 
    priests 
    and 

    treacherous 
    young 
    witches 

    Were 
    handing 
    out 
    the 
    flowers 

    that 
    I'd 
    given 
    to 
    you. 

    Verse 6
    The 
    palace 
    of 
    mirrors 

    Where 
    dog 
    soldiers 
    are 
    re
    flected 

    The 
    endless 
    road 
    and 
    the 

    wailing 
    of 
    chimes 

    The 
    empty 
    rooms 
    where 
    her 

    memory 
    is 
    pro
    tected 

    Where 
    the 
    angel's 
    voices 
    whisper 

    to 
    the 
    souls 
    of 
    previous 
    times. 

    Verse 7
    She 
    wakes 
    him 
    up 

    Forty- 
    eight 
    hours 
    later 
    the sun 

    is 
    breaking 

    Near broken 
    chains, 

    mountain 
    laurel 
    and 
    rolling 
    rock

    She's 
    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 
    don't 
    need 
    your 
    organiza
    tion, 

    I've 
    shined 
    your 
    shoes 

    I've 
    moved 
    your 
    moun
    tains 

    and 
    marked 
    your 
    card

    But 
    Eden 
    is 
    burn
    ing 
    either 
    brace 

    yourself 
    for elimina
    tion 

    Or else 
    your 
    hearts 
    must 
    have 
    the 
    courage 

    for 
    the chan
    ging 
    of 
    the 
    guard
    s. 

    Peace 
    will 
    come 
    Verse 8

    With 
    tran
    quillity 
    and 
    splendor 

    on 
    the wheels 
    of 
    fire 

    But 
    will 
    bring 
    us 
    no 
    re
    ward 

    when 
    her 
    false 
    idols 
    fall 

    And 
    cruel 
    death 
    sur
    renders 
    with 

    its 
    pale 
    ghost 
    retreating 

    Between 
    the 
    King 
    and 
    the Queen 
    of Sword
    s.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
