Queen of Light took her bow, and then she turned to go               Am6  G  Am6  C
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone
  (Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light)        D(sus4,sus2)
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
  (Ohhhh)
...

  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
  (Oh 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, the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly)
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know
  (Ohhhh)
...

  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 ringwraiths 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

Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
  (Oh no oh no oh no oh, oh no oh no oh no)
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
  (Oh no oh no oh no oh, oh no oh no oh no)
