[Verse]
Am C G
Lord of the ages rode one night
Am
Out through the gateways of time
C G
Astride a great charger in a cloak of white samite
Am
He flew on the air like a storm
Dm Am
Dark was the night for he gathered the stars in his hand
To light a path through the sky
C G
While the hooves of his charger made comets of fire
Am
Bewitching all eyes beheld them
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Lord of the ages, nobody knows
C G Am
Whither he goes, nobody knows
[Verse]
Am C G
Below a dark forest in caves of black granite
Am
The children of darkness dwelt in oblivion
C G
Betraying one another in endless confusion
Am
but the lord of the dark had bewitched them
Dm Am
From time's first creation the wise men and prophets
C
And all workers of magic had warned of the reckoning
G Am
The wind and the fire and the plague of destruction
That follows the path of evil
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Lord of the ages, nobody knows
C G Am
Whither he goes, nobody knows
[Verse]
Am C G
Far above the wide ocean and thundering rivers
Am C
Through the sun and the rain the turn of the seasons rode the God of all knowing
G Am
While all around him celestial companions
Friends from the void before time was woven
Dm
Honour his crown with words of white fire
Am
And carry his robes of light
[Chorus]
C G Am
Whither he goes, nobody knows
[Verse]
Am C G
But in the peace of a valley a young child was born
Am
Filling the night with his crying
C G
And an old man gave thanks to the Lord of the ages
Am
Who's battle is not with innocence
Dm
But the birds of the air were silent
Am C
Knowing that time had come when time was forgotten
G Am
The waters were stilled, the mountains stood empty
And the cities were deaf, long, long ago
[Instrumental]
Am G D Am G D
Am G D Am G D Am
[Bridge]
Am
Enough cried a voice and the earth was awakened
Em G Am
Poor and the rich fell to ring of the fire
Em
Death and destruction rode out together
Am G Am
Turning the world to a funeral pyre
Am G Am
It was the Lord of the ages, gathering in the harvest
Am G Am
I said the Lord of the ages, gathering in the harvest
Oh Lord ...
G Am
Gathering in the harvest
*"Gathering in the harvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*
[Instrumental]
Am G D Am G D Am G D Am
Am G Am
Am G Am
Gathering in the harvest
*"Gathering in the harvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*
G Am
And from the blood and the thunder of men and their dying
G Am G Am
His eyes dark with sorrow, the Lord of the ages gathered in his harvest
Am G Am
*"Gathering in the harvest" (repeated by backing vocals)*

[Verse]
Am C G
But to the old and helpless, the weak and the humble,
Am C
to the children of light, His words of compassion breezed on them gently
G Am
Dissolving the darkness across the great valley
that rumbled with fire
Dm
And from the death and destruction
Am
The Lord of the ages carried the fruit to the harvest
C Am G Am
To freedom
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Lord of the ages, nobody knows
C G Am
Whither he goes, nobody knows
