Lady in Black-Ken Hensley

 

 

She came to me one morning   one lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter 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

 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
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh  ~~~~~

But she wouldn't 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   Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again   And asked if she would stay
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh  ~~~~~

 Oh lady lend your hand outright   And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in peace she said   And filled my heart with life
There's no strength in numbers   Have no such misconception
But when you need me   Be assured I won't be far away
 Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh  ~~~~~

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 labour is no easier   But now I know I'm not alone
I'll 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 from me
 Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh  ~~~~~
