Lady In Black Lyrics - Very Best Of Uriah Heep - Uriah Heep

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, ah, ah 

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 

Ah, ah, 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, ah, 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, ah, ah
