LED ZEPPELIN - The Battle Of Evermore lyrics

rate me

Queen of light took her bow<br>And then she turned to go,<br>The prince of peace embraced the gloom<br>And walked the night alone.<br>Oh, dance in the dark of night,<br>Sing to the morn - ing light.<br>The dark lord rides in force tonight<br>And time will tell us all.<br>Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,<br>Rest not to lock your homes.<br>Side by side we wait the might<br>Of the darkest of them all.<br>I hear the horses' thunder<br>Down in the valley blow,<br>I'm waiting for the angels of avalon,<br>Waiting for the eastern glow.<br>The apples of the valley hold,<br>The seas of happiness,<br>The ground is rich from tender care,<br>Repay, do not forget, no, no.<br>Oh,-------dance in the dark of night,<br>Sing to the morning light.<br>The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red.<br>Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.<br>The sky is filled with good and bad<br>That mortals never know.<br>Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,<br>Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.<br>The pain of war cannot exceed<br>The woe of aftermath,<br>The drums will shake the castle wall,<br>The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.<br>Sing as you raise your bow,<br>Shoot straighter than before.<br>No comfort has the fire at night<br>That lights the face so cold.<br>Oh dance in the dark of night,<br>Sing to the mornin' light.<br>The magic runes are writ in gold<br>To bring the balance back, bring it back.<br>At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,<br>With flames from the dragon of darkness<br>The sunlight blinds his eyes.
