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.
|
Oooh dance in the dark of night,
|
Sing to the morning light.
|
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight
|
And time will tell us all.
|
Ohhh throw down your plow and hoe,
|
Rest not to lock your homes.
|
As side by side we wait the might
|
Of the darkest of them all.
|
Ohhh
|
|
I hear the horses thunder
|
Down in the valley below.
|
I'm waitin' for the Angels of Avalon,
|
Waitin' 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.
|
Ohhh No, no! Dance in the dark of night,
|
Sing to the morning light.
|
The apples turn to brown and black,
|
The tyrant's face is red.
|
Oooh Hohh now! War is the common cry,
|
Pick up your swords and fly.
|
The sky is filled with good and bad
|
That mortals never know.
|
Ohhh. Now.
|
|
Oh well, the night is long,
|
The beads of time pass slow.
|
Tired eyes on the sunrise,
|
Waitin' 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.
|
Ohhh Sing as you raise your bow, Ride on.
|
Shoot straighter than before
|
No comfort has the fire that night
|
That lights the face so cold.
|
Ohhh dance in the dark of night,
|
Sing to the morning light.
|
The magic runes are writ in gold
|
To bring the balance back. Bring it back.
|
|
At last the sun is shinin',
|
The clouds of blue roll by.
|
A-with flames from the dragon of darkness,
|
The sunlight blinds his eyes. Eyes.
|
|
Ah-ah-oh. Oooh-ooh-ooh.
|
Ahhh. Oooh.
|
|
Bring it back. Bring it back.
|
A-bring it back. Bring it back.
|
Bring it back. Bring it back.
|
Bring it back. Bring it back.
|
|
Oh now, oh now, oh now ahh.
|
Oh now, oh now, oh now.
|
Bring it back. Bring it back.
|
Bring it back. A-bring it back.
|
|
Whoah now, oh now, oh now ohh.
|
Whoah now, oh now, oh now.
|
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it,
|
Bring it, bring it, bring it,
|
Bring it, bring it, bring it,
|
Bring it, bring - ahhh.
