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 plough and hoe] 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 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 [Oh, 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 eye Bring it back - bring it back --
