Lady in Black

e - D

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 ...

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 her give me horses to trample down my enemies

So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life

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, had counciled me so wisely that

I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay

Ah ...

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

Ah ...
