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
