Lady in Black Lyrics

von Uriah Heep

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Song 'Lady in Black' von Uriah Heep erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der in einer aussichtslosen und zerstöreris...

She cames to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the mid winterwind
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.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

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 enemy
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

But she wouldn't think of battle that reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For shes the mother of all men who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

Oh, Lady lend your hand I cried or let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in peace 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

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

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 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

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
