Robert Plant Lyrics

"The Battle Of Evermore" lyrics



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 plough and hoe]
Side by side we wait the might of 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
[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

At last the sun is shining - the clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness - the sunlight blinds his eye
