  She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning 

  Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter 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

  S2:
  She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men 

  To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men 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

  S3:
  But she would not think of battle that, reduces men to animals 

  So easy to begin and yet impossible to end 

  For she the mother of all men, had counciled me so wisely that 

  I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay

  S4:
  Oh, lady, lend your hand, I cried, oh, 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, I've no such misconceptions 

  But when you need me be assured, I won't be far away

  S5:
  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
