Changing Of The Guards
作詞：Bob Dylan
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
She's smelling sweet
Like the meadows where she was born
On midsummer's eve
Near the tower
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
They shaved her head
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo
A messenger arrived
With a black nightingale
I seen her on the stairs
And I could not 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 stitches still mending
'Neath a heart-shaped tattoo
Renegade priests

And treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers
That I'd given to you
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
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 now he will be taking
He's pulling her down and she's clutching
On to his long golden locks
‽Gentlemenâ€, 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 brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage
For the changing of the guards
Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor
On the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward
When her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders
With its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords
