(ŠLed Zeppelin 1971)</p>

The Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,<br>
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.</p>

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.<br>
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.<br>
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.<br>
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.</p>

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,<br>
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.</p>

The apples of the valley hold, The seas of happiness,<br>
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.</p>

Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.</p>

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.<br>
Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.<br>
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.<br>
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,<br>
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.<br>
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,<br>
The drums will shake the castle wall, the <b>Ringwraiths</b> ride in black,<br>
Ride on.</p>

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.<br>
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.</p>

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.<br>
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.</p>

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,<br>
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.</p>
