lady in black

yazar aslında kendisi başka bir üniversite sözlüğünde.

dark tranquillity tarzına cuk oturmuş bir şarkı olup ortaya melodik death sevgisi aşılayan bir iş çıkmıştır.

nasıl oluyor da iki akorluk bir şarkı bir insanı bu denli vurabiliyor anlamış değilim.şarkının her bi haltını çıkarıp sadece aah aah kısmını bıraksak bile çok etkili olabiliyor. ne diyelim uriah heep iyi ki zamanında yapmış bu şarkıyı.


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 enemy
so eager was my passion
to devour this waste of life
ah ah ah ...

but she would not think of battle that
reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and then impossible to end
for she, the mother of all men
had 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 i cried
and let me rest here at your side
have faith and trust
in me 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 cloak disappear
my labor 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 for me
ah ah ah ...

1979 yılında franz lambert tarafından enstrümantal olarak yorumlanan parça.

ayni zamanda sailor moon adli animede chibi-usa’nin buyuyup donustugu karakterin adi.

on a magical misty morning
i was standing in the autumn rain
suddenly the birds fell silent
would i ever hear them sing again
hear them sing again
without a word of warning
i saw a shadow in the autumn rain
just like in my nightly dreams
the lady in black had come again
the lady had come again
begging me to follow her
into the misty rain
begging me to follow her
into the no more pain
her eyes were hypnotizing
burning deep inside my brain
the lady in black was here now
she was here to take me far away
take me far away
follow me to the other side
through the tunnel of light
we travel, fading away
through the tunnel of light
we travel
we’re fading away
through the light that’s shinning bright
we’re fading away
through the light that’s shinning bright
we’re fading away
