lirik lagu changing of the guards – the gaslight anthem
sixteen years
sixteen banners united over the field
where 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
and she’s smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born
on a midsummer’s eve, near the tower
and 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
and they shaved her head
she was torn between jupiter and apollo
a messenger arrived with a black nightingale
and i seen her on the stairs, oh and i couldn’t help but follow
follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil
i stumbled to my feet
i rode past destruction in the ditches
with the st-tches still mending ‘neath her heart-shaped tattoo
and renegade priests and treacherous young witches
were handing out the flowers that i’d given to you
and 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
and 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 ready for elimination
or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards
