Led Zeppelin- The Battle of Evermore (Lyrics)

The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin lyrics. Thanks for watching.

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 morning 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.

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 war is the common cry,
Pick up your 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 morning 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.

When I hear someone say they don't like Led Zeppelin I cry for them.

Sandy Denny is the female singer on this song. She was a folk singer for Fairport Convention in the late 60's before her duet with Robert Plant. She's the only person to have sung on a Led Zep song besides the band.

No drums..no electric guitars.. no bass…still one of the greatest rock anthems of all time. PERIOD!

[dcyng.tth]

This song is so underrated. It's my favorite Led Zeppelin song.

"The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on." God Bless Tolkien for all he gave us.. <3

[gritsandgrace]

"The sky is filled with good and bad mortals never know..." Ain't that the truth!!!

[domc]

These guys were in another dimension. The constant call backs to mythology and middle earth is so epic. Nobody else does that

[theydisintegrate]

this song connects me to a childhood that couldn't have possibly happened in the same reality I'm in here and now...

[michaelpatton]

My favorite lyric is " The pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath" .... simple, yet brilliant !!!!

I remember being 13 and 14 going through the Growing Pains of junior high and High School. Zeppelin was always right there with me, "The Battle of Evermore" we we're so blessed to have the rock n roll when music was fresh and not harmoginized like so much is sound engineers cutting the tape on the floor compared to 50+ yrs ago, crisp, analog. The best.

[Maudit_Anglais]

I do not understand people who have only one favorite Zeppelin.I have many favorites.

[ForgottenMan]

First time I heard this I was the passenger in a rather quick mini van being driven fast down narrow country lanes in a sunny late august evening.
It was sort of an other worldly experience with this extrodinary song at full chat while wizzing down the lanes at full chat!
It always reminds me of that day.

[riboflavinz]

My favorite Zeppelin song. It's totally unique. I can't think of a song that sounds like it.

[sthun]

Great combination of Celtic folklore intertwining with multidimensional meaning in the passing of a storm.

[yoBradyO]

There is such a deeper vibration and meaning to all of their music. The stars aligned for a group of men to meet. Then relay messages so many of us have not received or fully understood.

[chrisbaker]

How can there be any question in anyone's mind that the group Led Zeppelin, were collectively one of the greatest rock groups ever?

[jonathan]

“The pain of war connot exceed the woe of aftermath”
What more can be said?

[JanetPerry-exuq]

I saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss last night in Pittsburgh and they performed this song. I wept. It was so beautiful.

[hambonemcgee]

This song seems to carry a message with the current situation we are all going through.

[portcullis]

The late great Sandy Denny. Born 76 years ago today. 6th of January 1947
(d. 21st April 1978). Such a beautiful voice.
