A song to listen to with a great sun-downer in your hand and a warm heart next to yours, beating to the soul of the Universe... PS This classic piece is one of my all-time favourites from a superb band. There is no female singing in this piece, the voice is from the singer Glen Stuart. He sings in falsetto. He left the band in 1974-ish. Lyrics to Lord of the Ages Lord of the Ages rode one night Out through the gateways of time Astride a great charger In a cloack of white samite He flew on the air Like a storm Dark was the night For hed gathered the stars in his hand To light a path through the sky While the hoofs of his charger Made comets of fire Bewitching all eyes Behold them Lord of the Ages, nobody knows Wether 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 But the Lord of the Dark had bewitched them From times first creation The wise men and prophets And all workers of magic Had warned of the wreckoning The wind and the fire And the plague of destruction that follows the path Of evil Lord of the Ages, nobody knows Wether he goes, nobody knows 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 While all around him celestial companions Friends from the void before time was woven Honour his crown with words of white fire And carry his robes of light Wether 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 innosence But the birds of the air were silent Knowing the time had come When time is forgotten The waters were stilled The mountains stood empty But the cities were deaf Long long ago Enough, cried a voice and the earth was awaking Poor and the rich felt the brink of 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 I thank the lord of the ages Gathering in the harvest (repeats) Gathering in the harvest (repeats) 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 helpless The weak and the humble To the children of light His words of compassion Breathed on them gently Resolving 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 Wether he goes, nobody knows youtu.be/zJlI5HdSvUE?list=FLpIm57xT_YcwWFFFWQYgyJg
