Lady in Black

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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 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 councelled me so wisely that
 I feared to walk alone again
 And asked if she would stay
 ♪
 "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"
 ♪
 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, hey
