    My boyfriend taught me this song in 1979, before I'd ever heard it on an album or radio. He needed me to sing the harmony for him when he performed it on stage. I sang what I thought sounded best with it. Later, when I heard the original, I was amazed! I had nailed the harmony vocals right on the money! Pretty cool.

    He was the wizard of a thousand kings
    And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
    He told me tales, and he drank my wine
    Me and my magic man kinda feelin' fine
    He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
    And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire
    To free the world from it's fear and pain
    And help the people to feel free again
    Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts
    'Cause then I know we'd find that we're not so far apart

    One of my favourite songs. These were the great days when music was music. Music in those days had an aura. I was so proud to be from that era - Uriah Heep, one of all my all time favourite bands. Like the muso's of those days - everyone looked so cool. No tattoo's or stupid hairstyles. Very sad the early passing's of David Byron and Gary Thain. They left us too early.

    Also if ya dig this song by Uriah Heep on youtube you may enjoy Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RUclips. 😀

    That voice! Never to be matched again in Rock. I first heard Byron sing this song when I was very young and I was mesmerised from the first note. I learnt to sing rock by listening to Byron's vocals. I admire Hensley's incredible songwriting - numbers that were scaled for a big Rock sound and that mean something. Today I am old and the memories of covering some of their songs are pure gold. This is the greatest rock band of all time.

    Волшебник
    У многих тысяч королей он чародеем слыл,
    Случайно встретившись в ночи, меня он поразил.
    Рассказывал мне столько притч и пил моё вино.
    И было магу, как и мне, безмерно хорошо.
    На нём из золота был плащ, горел огонь в глазах,
    Словами он меня зажёг, я думал - боль и страх
    Должны покинуть этот мир, и я смогу помочь
    Свободу людям обрести и беды превозмочь.
    «Ну почему нам не слышны слова сердец порой?
    Тогда бы поняли, что все равны мы меж собой…
    Достоин счастья каждый раб, он петь сумеет вновь.
    Ведь нам понятна радость дней, даёт покой любовь.»
    Так говорил мой чародей, пришедший с дивных гор,
    Не будем одиноки мы, и с этих самых пор
    Мечтать о ночи волшебства я стану в свете дня,
    А нить от серебристых звёзд к ней поведёт меня.

He uses science fiction writers for a number of their lyrics.

    Miał płaszcz za złota i oczy pełne żaru
    A gdy przemawiał czułem głębokie pragnienie

    I ulżyć ludziom by znów poczuli wolność

    I am so glad my youth was in the sixties and seventies when the music was better than anything produced today (with a few exceptions).

    My entire childhood was restricted from music. Upon graduation I discovered Uriah Heep among others. What a revelation. I continue on "a journey of a thousand years."

      I can relate. My mom tossed my Kiss Records, and a few others. (one of the reasons that I'm, ah, "traumatized" by organized religions. - I did have some Uriah Heep tapes in my inventory at one time.

      ***** I think most of us did things like that. Funny thing was, I could still listen to the radio, and tape things off of it, if I had wanted to, or make tapes, without really any name attached to the tape.

      ***** Yea, if you knew what was playing on an Album Hour, you could grab a great record on the cheap.
