She came to me one morningOne lonely Sunday morningHer long hair flowingIn the midwinter wind. I know not how she found meFor in darkness I was walkingAnd destruction lay around meFrom a fight I could not win Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah She asked me name my foe thenI said the need within some menTo fight and kill their brothersWithout thought of love or God And I begged her, give me horsesTo trample down my enemiesSo eager was my passionTo devour this waste of life Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah But she wouldn't think of battle thatReduces men to animalsSo easy to beginAnd yet impossible to end For she's the mother of all menWho counselled me so wisely thenI feared to walk alone againAnd asked if she would stay Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Oh, lady, lend your hand outrightAnd let me rest here at your side"Have faith and trust in peace", she saidAnd filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbersHave no such misconceptionBut when you need meBe assured, I won't be far away Ah, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Thus, having spoke, she turned awayAnd though I found no words to sayI stood and watched until I sawHer black coat disappear My labour is no easierBut now I know I'm not aloneI'll find new heart each timeI think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to youDrink deeply from her words so wiseTake courage from her as your prizeAnd say hello from me Ah, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ahAh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
