Am G Am G Am G Am G Dm E Bb Dm E Bb Am G The soldiers standing on the shore take up their golden shields Am G You watch them from your room high on the city walls Am G In the distance on the shifting sea, a thousand coloured sails Am Is this the moment you made? Is this the way that you planned? G You know it won't be long now Dm E Bb The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things - they never tempted you Dm E Bb C G So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on as they burned for you? Dm E Bb The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes painted in Trojan blue Am G You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl Am G Nothing really mattered then, you can remember so well Am G How you used to hold your head so high, those days will never return Dm E Bb The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things - they never tempted you Dm E Bb C G So as you stood in the ruins, how could you ever have known as they burned for you? Dm E Bb The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes painted in Trojan blue Am G Dust is drifting in the evening air across the field below Am G The silver mirror you hold will never tell; you turn your face away Dm E Bb The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things - they never tempted you Dm E Bb C G So as you stood in the ruins, how could you ever have known as they burned for you? Dm E Bb The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes painted in Trojan blue Dm E Bb The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes painted in Trojan blue
