[Cm] _ _ Lord [Eb] of the ages rode one night [Bb] out [Gm] through the gateways of [Cm] time. _
_ _ Astride [D] a great [Eb] charger in a cloak [Bb] of white samite, [Cm] he flew on the air like a storm.
_ [Fm] _ _ _
Dark was the night, for he'd gathered [Cm] the stars in his hand to light a path through the sky,
[Eb] _
while the hooves of his charger made comets [Cm] of fire, _ bewitching all [Bb] eyes he [C] held.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm]
Lord of the _ ages, _
[Cm] nobody _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] knew him.
Below a [Eb] dark forest in caves of [Bb] black granite, the children [C] of darkness dwelled in oblivion,
_ betraying [D] one another [Eb] in endless confusion [Bb] _ [Gm] with the Lord of the [C] dark _ [D]
refuge.
_ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] From [Ab] time's first creation, [G] the wise men and [D] prophets and [Cm] all workers of [C] magic
were [Eb] warned of the reckoning, [Bb] of the wind and the fire, [C] and the plague of destruction that follows the path [Bb] _ _ [C] of evil.
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Lord of the _ _ [Cm] ages, nobody _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] knew him.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Far _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ above [Eb] the wide ocean and [Bb] thundering rivers, through the [Cm] sun and the rain, the turn of the seasons,
rode the God of all knowing.
[Eb] _
_ While all [Bb] around him celestial companions, [Cm] _
friends from the void before time was woven,
[Fm] _
honored his crown with [Ab] words of white fire, [Cm] _
and carried his robes of light.

_ But in the peace [Eb] of a valley, [Bb] a young child was born, [Cm] filling the night with his crying,
_ _ [Eb] and an old man gave thanks to the [Bb] Lord of the ages, _ [C] whose battle is [Cm] not to be missed.
_ But _ [Fm] _ the birds of the air were silent, [G] _ [Cm] knowing that time had come when time was forgotten.
_ [Eb] _ The [Bb] waters were still, _ [Cm] the mountains stood empty, _ but the cities were dead, _ _ long.

They held a cry, a voice, and the earth was awakened.
_ Born in a niche by the grain of the palm, death, needless strife, is your goal now.
It is done, the [C] work is done, the [Cm] work is _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ done.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The moon [Bb] and the [Cm] harvest,
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Gm] _ have [Bb] been in [Cm] the harvest,
_ for a long [Bb] time in the [G] harvest.

harvest,

_ _ for [Bb] a long time in the [Cm]
harvest.

_ _ _ [Gm] And from the blood and the [Cm] thunder of men and their dying,
_ [Gm] His eyes [Cm] darkened with sorrow,
_ The [Gm] Lord of the [Cm] ages gathered in His harvest.
[Gm] Gathered in [C] the harvest, [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] gathered in [Cm] the harvest.
And _ _ [Gm] _ [Cm] from _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Cm] the [Bb] blood and the thunder of [Cm]
men and their dying,
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] His eyes darkened with sorrow,

[Cm] Carried the fruit of the harvest _ to [Eb] freedom.
