[Verse]
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
The rusted chains of prison moons
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
Are shattered by the sun
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
I walk a road, horizons change
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
The tournament's begun
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5
The purple piper plays his tune
Am6add9 Fmaj7-5
The choir softly sing
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the Em6court of the crimson Dking
[Bridge]

[Verse]
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
The keeper of the city keys
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
Puts shutters on the dreams
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
With insufficient schemes
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5
The black queen chants the funeral march
Am6add9 Fmaj7-5
The cracked brass bells will ring
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
To summon back the fire witch
To the Em6court of the crimson Dking
[Bridge]

[Verse]
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
The gardener plants an evergreen
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
Whilst trampling on a flower
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
I chase the wind of a prison ship
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
To taste the sweet and sour
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
Am6add9 Fmaj7-5
The orchestra begin
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the Em6court of the crimson Dking

[Verse]
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
On soft grey mornings widows cry
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
The wise men share a joke
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
I run to grasp divining signs
Em6add9 Cmaj7-5
To satisfy the hoax
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5
The yellow jester does not play
Am6add9 Fmaj7-5
But gently pulls the strings
Emadd9 Cmaj7-5
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the Em6court of the crimson Dking
