Sixteen F#myears,
SixteenA banners uEnited over the F#mfields
While the Dgood shepherd Egrieves
Desperate F#mmen, despeArate women dEivided,
Spreading their F#mwings 'neath the DfalEling Aleaves.
Fortune F#mcalls.
I steppeAd forth from the Eshadows, to the marketF#mplace,
Merchants and Dthieves, hungry for Epower, my last deal gone F#mdown.
She's smellingA sweet like the Emeadows where she was F#mborn,
On midsummer's Deve, Enear the tAower.
The cold-blooded F#mmoon.
The captain Awaits above the celeEbration
Sending his F#mthoughts to a Dbeloved Emaid
Whose ebony F#mface is beyondA communiEcation.
The captain is F#mdown but still believing that his Dlove will Ebe repaiAd.
They shaved her F#mhead.
She was torn between AJupiter and ApolElo.
A messenger F#marrived with a Dblack nightinEgale.
I seen her on the F#mstairs and IA couldn't help but Efollow,
Follow her F#mdown past the fountain where they DlifEted her Aveil.
I stumbled to my F#mfeet.
I rode past Adestruction in the Editches
With the F#mstitches still mending 'neath a Dheart-shaped tatEtoo.
Renegade F#mpriests and Atreacherous young witEches
Were F#mhanding out the flowers that I'dD givEen to Ayou.
The palace of F#mmirrors
Where dog Asoldiers are reEflected,
The endless F#mroad and the Dwailing of Echimes,
The empty F#mrooms where her Amemory is proEtected,
Where the F#mangels' voices whisper to the Dsouls of Eprevious tAimes.
She wakes him F#mup
Forty-eight hours Alater, the sun is Ebreaking
Near broken F#mchains, mountain laDurel and rolling Erocks.
She's begging to F#mknow what measAures he now will be Etaking
He's pulling her F#mdown and she's clutching on to hiDs long Egolden Alocks.
Gentlemen, he F#msaid,
I don't Aneed your organiEzation, I've shined your F#mshoes,
I've moved your Dmountains and marked your Ecards
But Eden is burF#mning, either get bravAe for elimiEnation
Or else your hF#mearts must have the courage for the Dchanging Eof the gAuards.
Peace will F#mcome
With tranAquility and Esplendor on the wheels of F#mfire
But will Doffer no reEward when her false idols F#mfall
And Acruel death surErenders with its F#mpale ghost retreating
Between the DKing and the EQueen of SwoArds.
