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 he'd gathered the stars in his hand

To light a path through the sky

While the hoofs of his charger 

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 

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 

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 (repeated)



Gathering in the harvest (repeated)

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 

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
