If I had words like a hammer
If I had powers unreal Then I would tear down Megiddo And I would bring you songs of love And every child of tomorrow Safely in his bed could lie And hate would die of starvation Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today I’ll find an old man lonely In the autumn of his years I’ll find a young girl hoping To lose herself in love And to both I’d give a rainbow For neither side can make it on their own Young and old come together Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today I’ll find some magic morning I’ll take a boat out on the sea Maybe run before the west wind To bring you songs of love And every fear for tomorrow In my head could surely lie And you and I, we’d be together Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today |

Two old friends of mine
I saw them only yesterday They where there But I got the feeling They had gone away And I was alone Killing time A stranger in the silence of their company Two old friends of mine Is this all life has left of you? Who took the laughter? Who took the times We said what we were going to do? When we were grown Grown and ready To take on the world, with a song And now the tune is one You dont remember Who lost the reason For being together? Who says the money wont go round? For once it was love And well live on a shoestring But they dont give no mortgage On a castle in the air Two old friends of mine A dripping tap And a broken old chair And if I read between the lines Someones lonely Someone doesnt care If its all gone by tomorrow For tomorrows been and gone Just like a bird That has no home |

Lord of the ages rode one night
Out through the gateways of time Astride a great charger In a cloak of white samite He flew on the air Like a storm Dark was the night For he gathered the stars in his hand To light a path through the sky While the hooves of his charger Made comets of fire Bewitching all eyes Beheld them Lord of the ages, nobody knows Whether he goes, nobody knows Below a dark forest in caves of black granite The children of darkness dwelt in oblivion Betraying one another in endless confusion But the lord of the dark Had bewitched them From time's first creation The wise men and prophets And all workers of magic Had warned of the reckoning The wind and the fire And the plague of destruction that follows the path Of evil Lord of the ages, nobody knows Whether he goes, nobody knows Far above the wide ocean and thundering rivers Through the sun and the rain 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 Whither 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 Who's battle is not with innocence But the birds of the air were silent Knowing that time had come when time was forgotten The waters were stilled The mountains stood empty And the cities were deaf Long, long ago Enough Cried a voice And the earth was awakened Poor and the rich fell to ring 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 said the lord of the ages Gathering in the harvest Oh, lord Gathering in the harvest Gathering in the harvest (repeated by backing vocals) 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 Gathering in the harvest (repeated by backing vocals) But to the old and helpless The weak and the humble To the children of light His words of compassion breezed on them gently Dissolving the darkness across the great valley that rumbled with fire And from the death and destruction The lord of the ages Carried the fruit to the harvest To freedom Lord of the ages, nobody knows Whither he goes, nobody knows |

Were I the morning star
I could never shine so fair Lady in your sequin gown Riding on a milk with palfrey Popinjay and minstrel gaily Riding down a forest road Knights and ladies come ye well To be at Falkland Grene To be at Falkland Grene Sand your coat of steel my lord You could have a winesome favour Ride you fair and speak you well Maybe know a ladys pleasure Stuart lord in gold and crimson Hunt the boar and fleetfoot deer Poet if your lines be true Then come to Falkland Grene Come to Falkland Grene Blow cold the winter wind Whistle you a mournful song Jesters words they pealed like bells Down below the rims of Lomond Flew the hawk and waltzed the courtier In the gardens were they seen In days of wine and madrigal Down at Falkland Grene Down at Falkland Grene |
