The Battle Of Evermore Lyrics - Page & Plant

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 

...
