The Battle of Evermore

[Vocals: Robert Plant, Najma Akhtar, Both] 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 And side by side we wait the night The darkest of them all Oooohh oooooohhh 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 Oooohh oooooohhh The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red Oh the war is common cry The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know Oooohh oooooohhh 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 Oooohh oooooohhh Ahhhhhhhhh At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by With flames from the dragon of darkness The sunlight blinds his eyes Ahhhhhhh oooh ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhh Oooohhhh ooooohhhhh Ahhhhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhhhhh Ah ah ah ah Bring it back, bring it back Bring it back, bring it back Bring it back, bring it back Bring it back, bring it back Oohh Ahhhh Bring it back, bring it back Bring it back, bring it back Ohh Oohh, ahhhhh Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it Bring it, bring it Oh, yeah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah, ah ha hah Ah ha hah Ahhhhhhhhhh
