The Battle Of Evermore

Page and 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



Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh



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 seas 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, ohhhh



Oh, war is the common cry



The sky is filled with good and bad

That mortals never know, ohhh



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



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



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh



At last the sun is shining

The clouds of blue roll by

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes



Ohhh ohhh Ohhhh, ahh ahh ahh ahh



Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Ohhhhhh

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Bring it back,

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Oh now,

Bring it,

Bring it,
