J. Shifflett (docarcana@) featuring TwinLoopz (twinloops@) I have been a huge Uriah Heep fan my whole life since I first heard the album Salisbury on vinyl when I was a little kid. After Ken Hensley passed away in 2020 I decided I wanted to produce a cover of Lady in Black. So thankful to have such a great team of creatives to help me realize the vision of this video. I hope you think this song and video honors the mystique and lore around the original. And if one day she comes to you… say hello for me! -j Lyrics 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, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, 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, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, 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 all men Who counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, 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, a-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, 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 labor is no easier But now I know I'm not alone I'll 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, a-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah, a-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Songwriters: Ken Hensley Follow Uriah Heep: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: Website:
