Lyrics

[00:33.50] Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
[00:39.50] The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
[00:46.50] Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
[00:52.50] The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
[00:59.50] Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
[01:06.50] Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
[01:26.50] I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
[01:32.50] I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
[01:38.50] The apples of the valley hold, The seas of happiness,
[01:45.50] The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
[01:53.50] Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
[01:58.50] The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
[02:05.50] Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
[02:11.50] The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
[02:32.50] Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
[02:39.50] Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
[02:44.50] The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
[02:51.50] The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
[02:59.50] Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
[03:04.50] No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
[03:13.50] Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
[03:18.50] The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
[03:38.50] At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
[03:44.50] With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
