- This recording is both a cover and a medley - the Uriah Heep classic, Lady In Black, as well as a traditional Irish folk tune, "Riding on a Load of Hay". "Lady in Black" is a song by the rock band Uriah Heep. It is the fourth track of their 1971 album Salisbury (later re-recorded and released by Ken Hensley on "The Wizards Diary"). The song is credited to Ken Hensley. It tells the story of a man wandering through war-torn darkness and encountering a goddess-like entity who consoles him. It is often praised, by fans and critics alike, as Hensley's most poetic work to date. I originally recorded this song in mid-2015, and uploaded it to RUclips a few months later. I was going to add it to my second release, "Made In My Bedroom II", but I wasn't happy with my mix or my mastering, so I decided to redo it, and hopefully I will release it on my fifth album. That's my sister providing the vocal harmony.
Lyrics:
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
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 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
Ah, ah, ah
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 counseled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah, ah, ah
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
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 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
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Originally from the Uriah Heep album Salisbury

I'm a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Hamilton, New Zealand. My videos are a mix of music, and hiking the outdoors. Ceolskog is my folk metal / heavy metal / country rock (and some other genres) band. It is also the name given to this hiking and nature-themed RUclips channel. Ceol means music in Irish, and skog means forest Norwegian and Swedish. I don't have a Patreon, but if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way, you can find my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Amazon, and RUclips too (of course).

Thank you very much! Glad you liked the song and the name. I'm sorry, I don't have an Instagram, but thank you! :)
I just woke up I live in Los Angeles I haven't finished my work yet, I will in a few hours. I am doing a few images I am doing for Nicky Minaj. I am just curious why you don't have Instagram. Most artist even if they have just a few things have an account, I personally had nothing to do with setting up INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK. Someone I Thought my former bf did so I found them on my phone already installed with a few images after a month I opened them. It was because of FACEBOOK it kept notifying me people were trying to be "FRIENDS". I went on said they were probably looking for someone else then posted an image so they would stop I let about 10 in so they would tell others. I think in about 5 days maybe 4 I was getting sick of it, because I had never had FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM. I thought in about 3 years I WOULD go PUBLIC and 1st learn about them then install the 4 main ones. FACEOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, AND RUclips officially.I have been on them since October 2017 so 4 months. My friends don't use them, and I still make some big mistakes. I didn't know FACEBOOK had a limit to "FRIENDS" so I decided to give whoever set these accounts up a hard time because it seemed SUCH a hastle letting people in. I reached the max in that time 5,000 people. INSTAGRAM I have have been a bit more careful with which is better. A lot of stuff is just on my INSTAGRAM. IT has been a way I have been able to connect directly with some artist that I really like directly, and has been inspirational. There is a way to know when it is them on RUclips it is a good thing they installed the new 🎵 mark to know it is their official page. On INSTAGRAM there is a blue dot that signifies public figure certified if they chose to be. In my little experience I have found that most public figures have several accounts and there is an option to have a private account which only people like on FACEBOOK there are a few options. I am happy I did decide to see what would happen if I did do something with these accounts mostly INSTAGRAM. I will let you know more if you are interested, if not I won't go into more. There is a group I found by destiny on FACEBOOK they are called "THE PLAGUE" they have a RUclips account. I liked a lot of there stuff and decided to see if I could assist in a little way, so I made a particular Playlist for them. If you listen from the way I set there PLAYLIST up it goes from their POP and transcends into their metal. IF YOU GO from the last then it goes from metal to pop. Some of my PLAYLISTS are not on my RUclips I HAVE to look them up. 1st check my CHANNEL here the playlist is just called THE PLAGUE. if you don't see it listed search MIA CULPA PLAYLIST THE PLAGUE. I wrote a little about how I found them. They are now I think going on tour or doing a good venue. Let me know if you decide to go on my FACEBOOK or if you install INSTAGRAM. I am much more careful about who I let in. Since I have hacking issues sometimes my posts do not show up or someone has tried to say they were me on both accounts. I am doing what I can to resolve it along with the other stuff I do. I really don't want to spend much time on social media however I don't want to be misrepresented either.🖤
