Lyrics The Battle of Evermore - Shel

The Queen of Light took her bow, and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace erased the gloom, and walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The Dark Lord rides in force? tonight, and time will tell us all
Oh, through down your plough in awe
???
Side by side, break the night 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
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red
Oh, war is a coming cry
Pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know

Oh well, the night is long
The beads of time pass slow
Tight eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the Eastern glow

The king of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake castle walls
And new raids riding back
Ride on
Oh, see in the range of all, shoot straighter than before

Comfort has the fire at night, it lights the face so cold
Dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
Magic??? of??? gold to bring the balance back
Bring it back

At last the sun is shining
Clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness,
Sunlight blinds his eyes

Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
Oh, dance in the dark of night

The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
