The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morn-ing light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
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, no, no.
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 the war is common cry
Pick up you 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
Tired 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.
Sing as you raise your bow
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the mornin' light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
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.
Oh, bring it back, bring it back...
