The Battle of Evermore
Barbary Coast Guitar Duo Lyrics

The queen of light took her bow
The powerful, glorious woman has finished her task and is ready to depart

And then she turned to go
Leaving the task behind and moving towards another one

The prince of peace embraced the gloom
The peaceful leader has taken on the darkness and suffering of the people

And walked the night alone
The leader is willing to face the challenges and dangers alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night
Celebrate and enjoy life even in the midst of darkness and fear

The dark lord rides in force tonight
Evil and danger are coming in full strength

And time will tell us all
The future holds the answers to our questions and concerns

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Forget about work and the mundane, there are more important things at hand

Side by side we wait the night
We stand together, united, and face the darkness head-on

The darkest of them all
This is the most trying and challenging time we have faced

Ah
Expression of emotion, could represent fear, excitement, anticipation, etc.

Oh
Expression of emotion, could represent surprise, wonder, etc.

I hear the horses' thunder
The sound of danger and war is approaching

Down in the valley below
The enemy is nearby, approaching or attacking from below

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Hopeful and waiting for divine intervention or assistance

Waiting for the eastern glow
Anticipating a new day, hope for a brighter future

The apples of the valley hold
The fruit of the earth contains happiness and good things

The seas of happiness
The source of true joy and contentment

The ground is rich from tender care
The land is fertile and abundant because of the loving attention it receives

Repay, do not forget
Gratefulness and remembrance of the work that has gone into creating this abundance

The apples turn to brown and black
All good things must come to an end and eventually turn bitter or rotten

The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh
The oppressive ruler is angry and heated

Oh, war is the common cry
The people are calling for conflict and battle

The sky is filled with good and bad
The world is balanced between both positive and negative forces

That mortals never know, ohhh
Human beings can never fully comprehend the grand scheme of things

Ohh
Expression of emotion, could represent empathy, concern, etc.

Oh, well, the night is long
The period of trial and struggle is lengthy and difficult

The beads of time pass slow
Time feels like it is moving too slowly, making the struggle seem even more challenging and eternal

Tired eyes on the sunrise
Exhausted and worn-out, yet still waking up and facing the new day

Waiting for the eastern glow
Looking forward to a new beginning, hopeful for a positive change

The pain of war cannot exceed
The agony and hardship of fighting and conflict is unbearable

The woe of aftermath
The difficult and heart-wrenching consequences of the conflict and struggle

The drums will shake the castle wall
The battle cry and preparation is both intimidating and powerful

The ring wraiths ride in black
The dark, scary, and deadly creatures of the opposing force are approaching

Sing as you raise your bow
Even amidst battle, keep singing and fighting with everything you have

No comfort has the fire at night
Even with warmth and light, the struggle and danger still loom large

That lights the face so cold
The light reveals the brave, yet frightened expressions of the fighters

The magic runes are writ in gold
The mystical messages and symbols are written in a precious metal, symbolizing their great value

To bring the balance back
The purpose of the battle and struggle is to restore harmony and order to the world

Bring it back
Reinforce and emphasize the importance of restoring balance

At last the sun is shining
Finally, after a long period of hardship and darkness, the light and goodness is returning once again

The clouds of blue roll by
The obstacles, challenges, and trials of the past are now fading away

With flames from the dragon of darkness
Even in the midst of victory, there is still a sense of danger and darkness lurking

The sunlight blinds his eyes
The light and goodness revealed in the victory is almost too much to take in and process

Huh huh huh [Repeat: x 28]
Nonsensical sounds meant to emphasize the emotion and intensity of the song
