Gregorian - Lady In Black lyrics

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. Aaaaaaaaa, Aaaaaaaaa She asked me name, my foe then, I said the need within some men To fight and k** their brothers Without thought of love or God. And I begged her give me horses To trample down my enemies, So eager was my pa**ion 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's the mother of all men Had counseled 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. Have no such misconceptions. But when you need me be a**ured 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
