Intro: 

B, E, C, G 


B                              E 
halls of the stone tower in the foothills 
C                         G 

why should we hide from anyone 
B                  E 
held you in my arms for the first time that day 
C                                G 
felt like god's anointed when you didn't push me away 

Bm                    C             G     Bm 
gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 
gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

lean on the concrete walls in shadow 
why should we wait to throw the switch 
felt your name burning like a tattoo into my skin 
rain on the clay tiles all night, your head nestled beneath my chin 

gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 
gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

       A                  E 
in the lost age where the jewels hide 
        G                   D                    
and the sword sticks in the waiting stone 
      A   
still warm 

Bm, Gm, C, Bm 

Bm, Gm, C, Bm 

small chambers shrinking till they vanish 
wolves in the hallway gaining ground 
reach down to the moment when I should have said something true 
shadows and their sources now stealing away with you 

gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 
gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings
