Lyrics for The Battle Of Evermore as interpreted by kevin

The Battle Of Evermore Lyrics
Robert Plant:
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

Sandy Denny:
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light

Robert Plant:
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all

Sandy Denny:
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes

Robert Plant:
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

Sandy Denny:
Dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light

Robert Plant:
The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red

Sandy Denny:
Oh, war is the common cry
Pick up you swords and fly

Robert Plant:
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

Sandy Denny:
Sing as you raise your bow
Shoot straighter than before

Robert Plant:
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold

Sandy Denny:
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light

Robert Plant:
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 (repeat to fade)

deffinitly lord of the rings. zeppelin knew who was better at telling a story than them. not many, but tolkien was a better story teller with deeper meanings and plant knew that, so they idolized and acknowledged him in a lot of their songs, and devoted a few songs to him as well. in the beginning of the song they mention avalon, the mystic island in the tale of king arthur, not in lotr, just thought id point that out.

you're a wanker, bite_me. If you had the mental capacity to appreciate the books, you might agree with Tolkien fans. Its great stuff.

actually, this song makes quite a bit of sense...
you guys are correct, except...
the queen of light is galadriel. "queen of light took her bow, then she turned to go" passing the last test of the ring, galadriel knows that now that she hasnt taken the ring for her own power, all elves' time in numenor is coming to and end and the last stronghold of elves in middle-earth, lothlorien, must decay and move back to the gray havens (not a bad place to live;]) ... anyway, arwen is a princess if anything, being the daughter of elrond. her part in the movie was augmented greatly. but damn liv tyler was hot in the part... phew... shrug

you are right, it is about the final battle in the third book. the queen of light is Arwen, the prince of peace is Aragorn. the magic runes is either a reference to the ring or to Sam's sword, both of which have runes on them, and both are pivotal in that final battle.

From what I understand this song is about Lord of The Rings. The song is very cryptic though, Led Zeppelin apparently were big fans of the books. Any other meanings?
