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

Ok it's a little bit iconic but very long and not as cute as mine and Nance's, and it's not even '80s at all.

 

 

Oh well, what do you expect from the Grammarnator.

a song that I usually can't stop listening to once starting playing it

Uriah Heep

Lady in Black

 

 

She came to me one morning

One lonely sunday morning

Her long hair flowing

In the midwinter 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 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

Ah ah ah ...

 

But she wouldn?t think of battle that

Reduces men to animals

So easy to begin

And yet impossible to end

For she?s the mother of our men

Who counselled me so wisely then

I feared to walk alone again

And asked if she would stay

Ah ah ah ...

 

Oh lady lend your hand outright

And let me rest here at your side

Have faith and trust

In peace 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 ...

 

Thus having spoke she turned away

And though I found no words to say

I stood and watched until I saw

Her black coat disappear

My labour 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 from me

Ah ah ah ...
