She came to me one morning, |
| [00:30.47] |
one lonely Sunday morning, |
| [00:33.60] |
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind. |
| [00:38.68] |
I know not how she found me |
| [00:42.04] |
for in darkness I was walking, |
| [00:44.88] |
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win. |
| [00:50.23] |
Ah ah ah ... |
| [01:01.44] |
She asked me name my foe then. |
| [01:04.67] |
I said the need within some men |
| [01:07.51] |
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or god. |
| [01:12.84] |
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, |
| [01:18.57] |
so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. |
| [01:27.63] |
Ah ah ah ... |
| [01:45.15] |
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, |
| [01:51.15] |
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end. |
| [01:56.22] |
For she the mother of all men who counciled me so wisely then |
| [02:01.40] |
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. |
| [02:06.08] |
Ah ah ah ... |
| [02:15.79] |
\"Oh lady lend your hand,\" I cried, |
| [02:18.68] |
\"Oh let me rest here at your side.\" |
| [02:21.01] |
\"Have faith and trust in me,\" |
| [02:23.25] |
she said and filled my heart with life. |
| [02:25.75] |
There is no strength in numbers. |
| [02:27.94] |
I've no such misconception. |
| [02:30.63] |
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away. |
| [02:35.01] |
Ah ah ah ... |
| [02:44.81] |
Thus having spoke she turned away |
| [02:47.75] |
and though I found no words to say |
| [02:50.09] |
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear. |
| [02:54.77] |
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone. |
| [02:59.79] |
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day. |
| [03:04.68] |
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise. |
| [03:09.57] |
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me. |
| [03:14.49] |
Ah ah ah ... |
