[Verse]
AmLord of the Cages rode one nightG
Out through the gateways of Amtime
Astride a great Ccharger in a cloak of white sGamite
He fAmlew on the air like a storm
DmDark was the night for he gathered the stars in his Amhand
To light a path through the sky
While the Chooves of his charger made comets of fGire
Bewitching all eyes bAmeheld them
[Chorus]
DmLord of the ages, Amnobody knows
CWhither he gGoes, nobody Amknows
[Verse]
AmBelow a dark fCorest in caves of black gGranite
The children of dAmarkness dwelt in oblivion
BetCraying one another in endless confGusion
but the lord of the Amdark had bewitched them
DmFrom time's first creation the wise men and Amprophets
And all workers of magic had warCned of the reckoning
The wGind and the fire and the Amplague of destruction
That follows the path of evil
[Chorus]
DmLord of the ages, Amnobody knows
CWhither he gGoes, nobody Amknows
[Verse]
AmFar above the wide Cocean and thundering riversG
Through the sAmun and the rain the turn of the seasons rode the God of all knowingC
While all around him cGelestial companionsAm
Friends from the void before time was woven
DmHonour his crown with words of white fire
And Amcarry his robes of light
[Chorus]
CWhither he gGoes, nobody Amknows
[Verse]
AmBut in the peace of a vaClley a young child was born G
AmFilling the night with his crying
And an Cold man gave thanks to the GLord of the ages
Who's Ambattle is not with innocence
But the Dmbirds of the air were silent
Knowing that Amtime had come when time was forgotten C
The waters were sGtilled, the mAmountains stood empty
And the cities were deaf, long, long ago

[Bridge]
AmEnough cried a voice and the earth was awakened
PEmoor and the rich fell to rGing of the fAmire
Death and destruction Emrode out together
AmTurning the world to a Gfuneral Ampyre
It was the Lord of the ages, Amgathering Gin the Amharvest
I said the Lord of the ages, Amgathering Gin the Amharvest
Oh Lord ...
Gathering Gin the Amharvest
*"Gathering in the harvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*

*"Gathering in the harvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*
And from the Gblood and the Amthunder of men and their dying
His Geyes dark with Amsorrow, the Lord of the Gages gathered in hisAm harvest
*"GAmathering Gin the Amharvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*

AmBut to the Cold and helpless, the wGeak and the humble,
to the cAmhildren of light, His words of compassion breezed on them genCtly
GDissolving the darkness across the great Amvalley
that rumbled with fire
And from the dDmeath and destruction
The Lord of the ages Amcarried the fruit to the harvest
To freedoCm Am G Am
