| 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 |
