The Battle Of Evermore Lyrics

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 The dark lord rides in force tonight And time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe Side by side we wait the night 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
The apples turn to brown and black The tyrant's face is red
Oh, war is the common cry 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 ring wraiths ride in black
Sing as you raise your bow No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold
Oh, dance in the dark of night 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 ...
