[Bridge 2]
Em          Bm             Em                  Bm
Actuals and counterclaims; drugged, reborn, resigned.

The castle stands, the girl remains, and if she'll spin, it's packed with eyes

Em               Bm        Em                  Bm
Out there in the corridor, caught there in the mirror maze,

F#m               G            G#         A         
From her last and loving glance... a waltz...a dance...

...whose time...not here...but gone… was time!

        Em          D       Em           D           Em   D    Em   D    Em
For the powers that be, the girl and her dreams, the girl that love made blind.

And that's the last dream we had upon that night...

    A     E     F#m E   D    E         A       E
The party of astrologers—the Christmas of my life.
