C
Oh how sad they sound the songs the queen must sing of dying
Am F Am/E Dm G
A prisoner upon her throne of melancholy sighing
Dm Em
If she could see her mirror now
Dm Em
She would be free of those who bow and
F
Scrape the ground beneath her feet
C
Silently she walks among her dying midnight roses
Am F Am/E Dm G
Watches as each moment goes that never really know us
Dm Em
And so it seems she doesn't care
Dm Em
If she has dreams of no one there
F
Within the shadows of her room
C Am
But all my frozen words agree, and say it's time to
Em F
Call back, all the birds i sent to
G
Fly behind her castle walls, and i'm
C F
Weary of the nights i've seen
G C
Inside these empty halls
Interlude:
|C |Am |Fmaj7 |G |
|C |Am |Fmaj7 |G |
C

Am F Am/E Dm G
And wave within the hours past and other empty pockets

F

C Am
But all my frozen words agree, and say it's time to
Em F
Call back, all the birds i sent to
G
Fly behind her castle walls, and i'm
C F
Weary of the nights i've seen
G C
Inside these empty halls
