How about this one. Lord of the Ages by Magna Carta. (1973) Lord of the Ages rode one night,Out through the gateways of time Astride a great charger, in a cloak of white samite He flew on the air like a storm Dark was the night For he had gathered the stars in his hand to light a path through the sky Whilst the hooves of his charger struck comets of fire Bewitching all eyes that beheld them Lord of the Ages Nobody knows Whither he goes Nobody knows Below a dark forest, in caves of black granite The children of darkness dwelled in oblivion Betraying one another in endless confusion For the Lord of the dark Had bewitched them From time's first creation The wise men and prophets And all workers of magic had warned of the reckoning The wind and the fire And the plague of destruction That follows the paths of evil Far above the wide oceans and thundering rivers Through the sun and the rain and the turn of the seasons Rode the God of all knowing Whilst all about him, celestial companions Friends from the void before time was woven Honoured his crown with words of white fire And carried his robes of light Whither he goes Nobody knows But in the peace of a valley a young child was born Filling the night with his crying And an old man gave thanks to the Lord of the Ages Whose battle is not with innocence But the birds of the air were silent Knowing the time had come When time was forgotten The waters were stilled And the mountains stood empty For the cities were deaf Long, long ago 'Enough' cried a voice And the earth was awakened Poor and the rich felt the plague and the fire Death and destruction rode out together Turning the world to a funeral pyre It was the Lord of the Ages Gathering in the harvest The Lord of the Ages Gathering in the harvest And from the blood and the thunder Of men and their dying His eyes dark with sorrow The Lord of the Ages gathered in his harvest But to the old and the helpless The weak and the humble To the children of Light His words of compassion breathed on them gently Dissolving the darkness across the great valley That rumbled with fire And from the death and destruction The Lord of the Ages carried the fruit of the harvest To freedom Lord of the Ages Nobody knows Whither he goes Nobody knows jagwil2009-05-22 00:56:28
