Lady in Black Songtext
von Uriah Heep

She came to me one morning, one rainy Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
And I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking
And destruction lie around me from a fight I could not win, come on

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, 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 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, come on

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah


But she would not think of battles that reduces men to animals
So easy to begin, yet impossible to end
For she′s the mother of all men did council me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay, come on

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (oh, yeah-yeah)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Oh lady, lend your hand out righ, 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 misconception
But when you need me be assured, I won't be far away"

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (just a little, just a little bit more)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Thus having spoke, she turned away, though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw that black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier, 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


Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (oh, yeah-yeah)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (yeah, yeah-yeah)

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (come on, boys, yeah)

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) come on
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) just a little, little more now
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) oh, yeah-yeah

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) ooh, yeah-yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (yeah)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Yeah-yeah, whoa-whoa
Yeah (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
