The Battle of Evermore
Page Plant Lyrics

The queen of light took her bow
The goddess of light finished her task

And then she turned to go
She left for the night

The prince of peace embraced the gloom
The deity of peace faced the negativity with open arms

And walked the night alone
He confronted the darkness by himself

Oh, dance in the dark of night
Let loose in the obscurity

The dark lord rides in force tonight
Evil is overwhelming tonight

And time will tell us all
The future will reveal everything

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Stop whatever you're doing now

Side by side we wait the night
Together, we face the darkness

The darkest of them all
The most sinister time

Ah
N/A

Oh
N/A

I hear the horses' thunder
The sounds of war approach

Down in the valley below
Coming from the valley

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
I hope for assistance from the divine

Waiting for the eastern glow
Expecting daybreak in the east

The apples of the valley hold
This place bears fruitfulness

The seas of happiness
The joy is bountiful

The ground is rich from tender care
The earth is cultivated and nurtured

Repay, do not forget
Don't forget to repay what was given

The apples turn to brown and black
The fruit starts to rot

The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh
The ruler's face is wrathful

Oh, war is the common cry
The usual rallying cry is of war

The sky is filled with good and bad
The sky holds the yin and yang

That mortals never know, ohhh
That humans can't comprehend

Ohh
N/A

Oh, well, the night is long
The darkness lasts forever

The beads of time pass slow
Time drags on

Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the sun after long hours

Waiting for the eastern glow
Expecting daybreak in the east

The pain of war cannot exceed
The aftermath of war is worse

The woe of aftermath
The sorrow afterward is hard to bear

The drums will shake the castle wall
The sounds of war are intense

The ring wraiths ride in black
The menacing ghosts on horseback

Sing as you raise your bow
Sing while you aim your bow

No comfort has the fire at night
The fire at night brings no reassurance

That lights the face so cold
Icy faces are lit by it

Oh, dance in the dark of night
Get lost in the obscurity

The magic runes are writ in gold
The powerful texts are written in gold

To bring the balance back
To bring back harmony

Bring it back
Restore balance

Oh
N/A

At last the sun is shining
Finally, the sun rises

The clouds of blue roll by
The blue clouds move by

With flames from the dragon of darkness
With the destructive power of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes
It blinds the creature’s eyes

Oh oh Oh, ah ah ah ah
N/A

Bring it back,
Restore balance

Oh now,
N/A

Bring it,
Restore balance

Oh
N/A

Oh now,
N/A

Bring it,
Restore balance

Huh huh huh [Repeat: x 28]
N/A
