Lady In Black
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me, from a fight I could not win
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
She asked me, "Name my foe then"
I said, "The need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God"
And I begged, "Give me horses to trample down my enemies"
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she, the mother of all men did council me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Oh, lady, lend your hand out right
Oh, let me rest here at your side
"Have faith and trust in me", she said, and filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconception
But when you need me, be assured, I won't be far away
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Thus, havin' spoke, she turned away, and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone
I find it hard each time I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize and say "hello" for me
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me, from a fight I could not win
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
