《1956 (Millenovecentocinquantasei)》歌词

[00:04:41] Sixteen years,

[00:04:41] Sixteen banners united over the field

[00:04:41] Where the good shepherd grieves.

[00:04:41] Desperate men, desperate women divided,

[00:04:41] Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.

[00:04:41] Fortune calls.

[00:04:41] I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,

[00:04:41] Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.

[00:04:41] She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,

[00:04:41] On midsummer's eve, near the tower.

[00:04:41] The cold-blooded moon.

[00:04:41] The captain waits above the celebration

[00:04:41] Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid

[00:04:41] Whose ebony face is beyond communication.

[00:04:41] The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

[00:04:41] They shaved her head.

[00:04:41] She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.

[00:04:41] A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.

[00:04:41] I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,

[00:04:41] Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

[00:04:41] I stumbled to my feet.

[00:04:41] I rode past destruction in the ditches

[00:04:41] With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.

[00:04:41] Renegade priests and treacherous young witches

[00:04:41] Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

[00:04:41] The palace of mirrors

[00:04:41] Where dog soldiers are reflected,

[00:04:41] The endless road and the wailing of chimes,

[00:04:41] The empty rooms where her memory is protected,

[00:04:41] Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

[00:04:41] She wakes him up

[00:04:41] Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking

[00:04:41] Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.

[00:04:41] She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.

[00:04:41] He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.

[00:04:41] Gentlemen, he said,

[00:04:41] I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,

[00:04:41] I've moved your mountains and marked your cards

[00:04:41] But Eden is burning, either get ready for elimination

[00:04:41] Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

[00:04:41] Peace will come

[00:04:41] With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire

[00:04:41] But will offer no reward when her false idols fall

[00:04:41] And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating

[00:04:41] Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
