The Battle of Evermore
Led Zeppelin (Definitive Collection Mini-LP Replica) Lyrics

Queen of Light took her bow
The female ruler who embodies goodness and positive energy has completed her performance and is leaving the stage.

And then she turned to go
She looked back briefly before departing.

The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
The figure known for bringing peace and harmony embraced the darkness.

And walked the night alone.
He navigated the darkness all by himself.

Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Celebrate in the darkness.

Sing to the morning light.
Sing to welcome the sun as it rises.

The dark Lord rides in force tonight
The embodiment of evil and negativity is riding with great power tonight.

And time will tell us all.
Only time will provide us with the full picture of what is happening.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Stop working and focus on what is coming.

Rest not to lock your homes.
Don't bother locking your doors, as it won't provide any protection.

Side by side we wait the might
We stand together and wait for the strength that will oppose the darkness.

Of the darkest of them all.
The most negative force imaginable.

I hear the horses' thunder
I hear the sound of galloping horses.

Down in the valley blow,
The sound is coming from down in the valley.

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
I'm waiting for the magical beings that reside in Avalon to come and help.

Waiting for the eastern glow.
Waiting for the sun to rise from the east.

The apples of the valley hold,
The valley is abundant with fresh fruit.

The seas of happiness,
There is vast happiness nearby.

The ground is rich from tender care,
The land is fertile because it has been handled with care.

Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Remember to give back, don't forget that you have received.

The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red.
The fruit is rotting and decaying, and the face of the oppressive ruler is flushed with anger and evil.

Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
We must unite and fight, so grab your weapons and charge forward.

The sky is filled with good and bad
There are both positive and negative things happening all around us.

That mortals never know.
These things are mysteries that only a higher power can comprehend.

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
The night feels endless, and time seems to be moving slowly.

Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
Our eyes are strained and we're waiting eagerly for the sun to rise.

The pain of war cannot exceed
The agony and distress caused during a war could be nothing compared to

The woe of aftermath,
The grief and hardships experienced after the war.

The drums will shake the castle wall,
The force of war will shake to its core the walls of even the strongest fortresses.

The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
The beings of darkness and negativity ride in the shadows.

Sing as you raise your bow,
Sing while you get ready to shoot your arrow.

Shoot straighter than before.
Take aim and shoot more accurately than ever before.

No comfort has the fire at night
There is no solace in the fire that burns at night.

That lights the face so cold.
Even if the fire burns brightly, it cannot warm a cold heart.

Oh dance in the dark of night,
Celebrate in the darkness.

Sing to the mornin' light.
Sing to welcome the sun as it rises.

The magic runes are writ in gold
A message of hope was inscribed using powerful symbolism.

To bring the balance back, bring it back.
To restore harmony and balance to the world.

At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
Finally, the sun comes out and the previously overcast sky becomes a bright blue.

With flames from the dragon of darkness
With the fiery power of evil itself.

The sunlight blinds his eyes.
Even the power of negativity is no match for the strength and light of the sun.
