|
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 blow, |
|
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, |
|
Waiting for the eastern glow. |
|
The apples of the valley hold, |
|
The seas 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 ring wraiths 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. |
