An Ancient Old Tale Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Gm][C][Gm]
Good evening.
[Em]Sit down [G]by the fire,
I'll tell you a spell.
An ancient [C]old tale,
of travels [Gm]through hell,
Every [Em]past winter is [C]only one storm,
The spring's just a promise
still searching [G]its form.
[F#m]We'll [F]learn far too little and
leave still unwise,
Just [G]jesters in tears when
the stone walls [F]arise.
[C]We're lost in the dark, which
we know like a friend,
[D]A lonely road [F#m]to the in
[G]evitable end.
[C]This is a story [F]of how we [C]may fight,
One soul's last stands [D]in the
name of the [C]night.
This is a story since ever unheard,
With [C]glimpses of life
and the death of a bird.
[Em]Look to

[Verse 2]
the marshes.
Can you hear that faint sound?
Owl [G]lies dying [C]flat on the ground.
[Eb]The morning still lingers,
[C]the whole world lies pale
[G]And the stars watch in silence,
they gave their [C]last hale.
Owl tries to stand but
her strength is long gone.
There the true queen of dusk
meets her first dawn.
With wings without strength and
[D]eyes almost blind.
[C]Deep cuts to remind her
of the world [F]left behind.
[C]The emerald towers took all that she had.
[F]Time forgets noone,
[Gm]takes both [C]joyful and sad.
We [D]learn and remember,
and then [C]we forget.
But right before sleep come lots of
[C]regrets...[F]
[Gm][C]
[G]Owl dreams with eyes

[Verse 3]
open and she sees
[F#m]her own throne.
Between clouds [Em]and green mountains,
[C]she ruled [Eb]there alone,
[Em]With fiery [D]blood raging and longing to fly,
She still held the power: the keys
to the sky.
Now her body is broken and her limbs
have gone numb.
She fears the last silence, twitch,
[Eb]almost succumb,
With her words almost
written and everything said,
She gives her last lamentation
before she is dead.
