Lyrics

[00:46.67] The queen of light took her bow
[00:49.79] And then she turned to go
[00:52.97] The prince of peace embraced the gloom
[00:56.04] And walked the night alone
[01:00.53] Oh, dance in the dark of night
[01:05.32] The dark lord rides in force tonight
[01:08.14] And time will tell us all
[01:10.15] Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
[01:17.55] Side by side we wait the night
[01:20.18] The darkest of them all
[01:36.62] I hear the horses' thunder
[01:39.28] Down in the valley below
[01:42.70] I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
[01:45.52] Waiting for the eastern glow
[01:48.49] The apples of the valley hold
[01:51.48] The seas of happiness
[01:54.76] The ground is rich from tender care
[01:57.83] Repay, do not forget
[02:07.26] The apples turn to brown and black
[02:10.40] The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh
[02:14.64] Oh, war is the common cry
[02:19.97] The sky is filled with good and bad
[02:22.95] That mortals never know, ohhh
[02:39.13] Oh, well, the night is long
[02:41.75] The beads of time pass slow
[02:45.33] Tired eyes on the sunrise
[02:48.05] Waiting for the eastern glow
[02:51.33] The pain of war cannot exceed
[02:54.29] The woe of aftermath
[02:57.42] The drums will shake the castle wall
[03:00.55] The ring wraiths ride in black
[03:05.54] Sing as you raise your bow
[03:10.18] No comfort has the fire at night
[03:12.95] That lights the face so cold
[03:16.67] Oh, dance in the dark of night
[03:22.72] The magic runes are writ in gold
[03:25.69] To bring the balance back
[03:30.87] Bring it back
[03:42.29] At last the sun is shining
[03:45.01] The clouds of blue roll by
[03:48.49] With flames from the dragon of darkness
[03:51.37] The sunlight blinds his eyes
[04:40.26] Bring it back...
