Lady in Black (song)

"Lady in Black" is a song by the 1970s progressive rock band Uriah Heep. It is the fourth track of their 1970 album "Salisbury".

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.
