Transposer:

Sixteen years Sixteen banners united over the fields While the good shepherd grieves Desperate men desperate women divided Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves. Fortune calls. I stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplace 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. (Instrumental) The cold-blooded moon. The captain waits above the celebration Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid Whose ebony face is beyond communication. The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid. They shaved her head. She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo. A messenger arrived with a black nightingale. I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil. (Instrumental) I stumbled to my feet. I rode past destruction in the ditches With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo. Renegade priests and treacherous young witches Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you. The palace of mirrors Where dog soldiers are reflected The endless road and the wailing of chimes The empty rooms where her memory is protected Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times. (Instrumental) She wakes him up Forty-eight hours later the sun is breaking Near broken chains mountain laurel and rolling rocks. 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 I don't need your organization I've shined your shoes I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning either get brave for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. (Instrumental) Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will offer no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

La chanson évoque une atmosphère de tension et de changement, décrivant une lutte entre des forces opposées. On y trouve des personnages en quête de pouvoir, des amours impossibles et des souvenirs d’un temps révolu. Les images de la nature, comme les feuilles tombantes et les champs, contrastent avec l'aridité des relations humaines. Les protagonistes sont confrontés à des choix difficiles et à des dilemmes moraux, alors que le monde autour d’eux est en pleine transformation et se prépare à un "changement de gardes". Le contexte semble imprégné d’une certaine mélancolie et d’une réflexion sur le pouvoir et la loyauté. Les références mythologiques et historiques enrichissent la narration, suggérant une lutte intemporelle entre le bien et le mal. Les thèmes de l'amour, de la perte et de la condition humaine se mélangent, témoignant d’une quête de sens au milieu du chaos.
