The Battle Of Evermore

The Queen of Light took her bow

And then she turned to go

The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom

And walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night

Sing to the morning light

The dark Lord rides in force tonight

And time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe

Rest not to lock your homes

Side by side we wait the might

Of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness

The ground is rich from tender care

Repay, do not forget, no, no

Dance in the dark of night

Sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black

The tyrant's face is red

Oh war is the common cry

Pick up your swords and fly

The sky is filled with good and bad

That mortals never know

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow

Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath

The drums will shake the castle wall

The Ringwraiths ride in black, ride on

Sing as you raise your bow

(Ride on)

Shoot straighter than before

No comfort has the fire at night

That lights the face so cold

Oh dance in the dark of night

Sing to the morning light

The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back

Bring it back

At last the sun is shining

The clouds of blue roll by

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes

Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

Oh now oh now oh now oh, oh now oh now oh now

Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

Oh now oh now oh now oh, oh now oh now oh now

Bring it bring it bring it bring it

Bring it bring it bring it bring it

Bring it bring it bring it bring it
