Battle of evermore
Lovemongers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The darkest night, a force tonight, and time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, rest not till you're going home
Side by side we walk the might, 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, which they do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red
Oh, sing if you can't cry, pick up your soul and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad, and mortals never know
Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Our 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 Ringwraiths ride in black (ride on)
War is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly
No comfort here, the violent night, that night face so cold
Oh dance in the dark of night, sing to the mornin' light
The the hay, the light, the face of night 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 eyes
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh, oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh, oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it

The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red
The fruit of joy and abundance has decayed, and the oppressive ruler is angry
Oh, sing if you can't cry, pick up your soul and fly
When we cannot express our pain, we can still choose to transcend it
The sky is filled with good and bad, and mortals never know
Life contains both light and dark, and we cannot predict what will happen

Violence may seem like the only answer, but we can still choose a different path
No comfort here, the violent night, that night face so cold
There is no solace in the darkness of violence; its face is harsh and unfeeling
Oh dance in the dark of night, sing to the mornin' light
Embrace the challenges of the night and look forward to a new day
The hay, the light, the face of night to bring the balance back, bring it back
Nature and light work together to bring equilibrium
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
Finally, the light begins to shine again after a difficult time
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes
When the forces of evil are vanquished, the light is all the more stunning
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Restore what has been lost
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh, oh now, oh now, oh now
An urgent call to action
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Keep fighting, keep pushing forward
