Lady In Black

Gregorian

6

She came to me one morning

One lonely sunday morning

Her long hair flowingIn 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.

Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa

She asked me name, my foe then

I said the need within some men

To fight and kill their brothers

Without thought of men or god.

And I begged her give me horses

To trample down my enemies

So eager was my passion

To devour this waste of life.

Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa

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

Had counciled me so wisely that

I feared to walk alone again

And asked if she would stay.

Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa

"Oh Lady, lend your hand," I cried

"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.

I′ve no such misconceptions.

But when you need me be assured

I won't be far away.

Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa

Thus having 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 new heart 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.

Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa (repeat until fade)
