- 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.
They don’t know real art/music. LZ is the very best

Idiot.
It's clearly indicative of a deep seeded mental handicap.
If the reason someone doesn't like Zeppelin because Stairway was overplayed...I emplore them to listen to the rest of the albums, especially this one.
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.
She sang the wonderful song - Who Knows Where Time Goes.
Thanks for sharing this! ❤
I have always loved Sandy Denny. 💕 Her albums are fantastic.
Robert Plant occasionally turns up unannounced at Fairport's festival; Cropredy. I've chatted over a glass with him a number of times. He's a really nice man!
Addendum: He sung this at Cropredy with Christina Donahue in 2008. They were excellent!
No drums..no electric guitars.. no bass…still one of the greatest rock anthems of all time. PERIOD!
this is a folk song
Go to Songfacts on this song. So much I didn't know. Blew my mind. Poor Sandy fell down stairs and died.
Wow, you're right! (No sarcasm)
It’s definitely next level!
This song reminds me of Leslie at Glassboro State who I didn't make that move too 😮 BIG regrets 😕
This song is so underrated. It's my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
Mine to ,but Led Zeppelin is one of those bands where your favorite song of theirs may change depending on your age through the years
@@josephhayes5618 right. For sometime now I am into "the other page of Led Zeppelin" . Tea for One, Tangerine, Boogie With Stu. Oh boy I'm getting old
Para mí también es mi canción favorita, la escucho una y otra vez...
@@valegamm What- I don't speak Spanish-
My favorites are this song, Achilles Last Stand, Tangerine, and a few others :P
This song is just simply magical.
"The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on." God Bless Tolkien for all he gave us..
theres quite a few references you missed my man.
@@not_cjalt You got that. The Rohirrim, Galadriel, Aragorn, Sauron himself, This is the Battle of Pellenor Fields, or a combo of Helms Deep and BPF. The drums shaking the castle walls is the wall of Minas Tirith. Queen of Light is Galadriel....on and on, but I do not need to tell you this cuz you know it already. Peace!!
You should listen to some early Tyrannosaurus rex.
@@gib59er56 Hell yeah
Tolkien was a genius
"The sky is filled with good and bad mortals never know..." Ain't that the truth!!!
The tyrants face is red
@@andrewcorbett5729 you mean blue.
“The pain of war connot exceed the woe of aftermath”
What more can be said?
My favorite lyric is " The pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath" .... simple, yet brilliant !!!!
That's the best lyric ever!
This is Led Zeppelin's best song!
@@LoneLee2022 It may well be!
It is true. If you have seen the elephant you will admit it is dirty, bloody loud and stinks of raw meat ,cooked meat and sewage overall. We do make jokes and laugh during combat , but it is to keep us sane.
@@gib59er56 Humor can relieve stress!
I do not understand people who have only one favorite Zeppelin.I have many favorites.
@@Maudit_Anglais they're all my favorites ✌️
this song connects me to a childhood that couldn't have possibly happened in the same reality I'm in here and now...
Holy crap that hit me hard
The lord of the rings inspired a lot of their songs but this one is my favorite.
Me too
So very well said.
Yes, yes. What I feel too
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.
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.
That is a wonderful experience. Your Van DJ is a music Angel ! Continuity is everything.
That’s beautiful. ❤
There's power in this song.
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written. And one of the best LZ songs ever written-If I had to pick a favorite this would be it...
My favorite Led Zeppelin song. Gives me goosebumps
Are you from the era? Not that it matters. I just see lots of the younger crowd listening to L Z and it’s pretty cool.
One of my favorites plus Ten Years Gone and I"m Gonna Crawl.
My favorite Zeppelin song. It's totally unique. I can't think of a song that sounds like it.
Gesus how is this possible to write like this
Cuz it has the lotr vibe
They have so MANY of my VERY FAVORITE ONES! :)
It is also the only Zeppelin song without percussion, and the only one with a guest vocalist. It shares the LOTR vibe with "Misty Mountain" on the same album.
@@larsedikno percussion on Going To California. Another masterpiece.
The late great Sandy Denny. Born 76 years ago today. 6th of January 1947
(d. 21st April 1978). Such a beautiful voice.
RIP Sandy
Amen to that ! She had a lovely voice
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.
Agreed
Yes they sure did ,didn’t they
JRR Tolkien. That is what this song and many others of theirs are based, of influenced by...Lord of the Rings......The drums will shake the castle walls( Gondor) the Ringwraiths ridin black.
well put, thx
And in this case also the Bible@@gib59er56
Timeless. Magic. Perfection.
I saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss last night in Pittsburgh and they performed this song. I wept. It was so beautiful.
How can there be any question in anyone's mind that the group Led Zeppelin, were collectively one of the greatest rock groups ever?
@Spermwhale1000 Probably the same people who vote democrat.
Way to bring our shit politics to something so beautiful
Their albums were the greatest thing to happen in rock, to be sure. But these guys couldn't play these songs live, which opens the door for dissent as to the greatest band.
Not one but thre most greatest band ever
They do??????????
To hear them play Live was just fantastic
This timeless masterpiece has no equal . 🕊️
This song seems to carry a message with the current situation we are all going through.
Very much so ☮️
My favorite song becuz it ties in with what I've learned by from my own sky study and pictures.
Yes indeed dee
It is always the current time.
Every generation of human kind had to deal with the light and darkness of humanity.
Great combination of Celtic folklore intertwining with multidimensional meaning in the passing of a storm.
As far as I know J Page is a living legend.
Dropped my first Tap of Acid to this deep inthe woods after midnight in the 70s.See the woodland creatures each and everyone of them.Shook hands with the Elfin Princess and King,then met the Dark Lord of the Forest,we spoke I awoke from my Dark Deepest Dreams to find him gone.Oh how I wish I could've spent more time with him,but I was in my youth and not experienced,and The Lord did know.🌃🌌
Straight out of Tolkien, Lord of the Rings. Anyone who's read them should see the genesis of this song.
@@bertzerker747 ppp
golden tickets
Don't forget Sandy Denny's beautiful vocal contribution!
Denny, not Danny, sorry. Stupid spell check.
I Love her. Sandy Denny is my favorite. May GOD rest her soul.
Going to look her up right now.
@@justinfree8726 Search the album unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny vocals brilliant and a great album. My favourite track A sailor's life.
Sandy Denny: born 76 years ago today. (6th January 1947- 21st April 1978).
One of the greatest songs of all time
BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN
Your pic is giving me the creeps
@Charles Yuditsky I sure as hell ain't one of em
It fits 2020😲
@@wesleywarren9776
Not really
WOW, this close. At the end of the day, almost anything by the mighty Zep is the best song ever! Soundtrack to my life
The first time I ever did acid in 1987, I listened to this song for about 15 hours straight... I am, to this day... convinced that I "SAW" the music coming from my Cerwin Vega 15" speakers...
I still have the old girls... CV15XLIB concert speakers, and they still sound great, and when listening to LZ, they 'show"the music...
Hey man, you’re the ones who’s outside the box of foisted reality... Congrats!
You did see it, it’s that magical.
Always loved this tune, got into LZ about30 years ago and knew nothing about lord of the rings! This song makes more sense to me now, I get the references. Magical vocals !
Synesthesia is not uncommon during such uncommon experiences. Welcome to the club.
Mythological Masterpiece of song.
One of my All Time Favorites by any band, and by Led Zeppelin
For sure!
Simply brilliant! I never quite put these Led Zeppelin songs and The Lord of the Rings together before these videos! Thankyou!
Amazing lyrics, amazing tune, amazing voices.....the perfect song exits....only made by Led Zeppelin.....that's all !!!
And yet Heart’s cover version was
Pretty radical! Great effort by the ladies!
@@timmytee5335key word- effort
This is a song for the ages! Nothing like it before or since!
Lord of the rings references love it!
They mentioned Gollum in Ramble On....
@@1dswylde Steirway to heaven even has the twist on the Aragorn stanza..All that is gold does not glitter To...All that glitters is gold. Plant was a huge Tolkien fan. He even mentioned him reading Tolkien in the airport. Yeah, Tolkien is all over his lyrics. Sorry I misspelled stairway
Legendary. Pure lyrical, vocal, and musical genius.
PRINCE OF PEACE, that's JESUS!!!
Love the Celtic influence.
True, yet in the context of the novels, I'm torn between Aragorn and Frodo.
This is the most beautiful song ever
These guys were in another dimension. The constant call backs to mythology and middle earth is so epic. Nobody else does that
Last night interspersed twixt the dreams were the words: "The ground is rich from tender care - but the Ring Wraiths ride in black!" On rising, pulled up this vid and played it over and over again. This really captures so much of what is going on with me and the world RIGHT NOW! It unfolds itself before me like a black flower. Mythic language is amazing and frightening stuff.
@Willian Lass "This peril belongs to all Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to end it."
It's the Queen of Light that keeps bringing me back. So much so that I named one of my characters in Everquest "Queenof LIght".
Thank you 😊🌺🌼☸️
Christ bless you and your family 🙏❤️
Michael
This should have been the soundtrack to Lord of the Rings. Wonderful.
When Thought went into the music... Painting pictures while telling the story... Just Incredible...
I love this picture of Rivendell
There are at least 50 elves you can't see in the frame (but they can see you).
@@RealBillyFanword Rivendell was a Rush song too
Pure magic
She walks in beauty like the night.....
I step thru the shadows of the moon and trees, searching in the fading light
The sun will return with the eastern glow
I wait with strength and courage to accept, all the wisdom I do not know
Change is near, it will not wait, the fear mongers will not hesitate
Open wide the mind and the lions gates to help rip their tide away
We can stand together in clarity, with PEACE in our hearts of solidarity if we choose the path of enlightenment. ....
Made in the great Creator's image a God in 3 persons, Father, Son & Spirit. ...thus so are we. Find the light the new path forward into the rising awareness in our minds of kundalini. 🌟 🌙 🌳 💡 ❤ 🔥 🙏 Namaste, amen, let it be so.
I don’t understand how someone can have the creativity to create the lyrics they do. Amazing
They are all based on Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings.
Mushrooms and acid.
Only Robert could read a book and make into a poetic lyric that is absolutely beautiful!
Роберт - прекрасный! Чудо... Песня волшебная.
still remember listening this song and the album when it first came out - passed on to my daughter who is now 46 wow where did the time go??
Don`t remind me Mike!!!!
Where indeed? For some reason, your comment gave me tears.
I can listen to a mandolin all day. John Paul Jones is the George Harrison of Led Zeppelin. Underrated.
It is Page playing mandolin here. Jones criminally underrated anyway, totally agree
It takes you to places staring at that picture and reading the lyrics..Love it ✌
I know this will be very unpopular comment but my favorite song on this very awesome album.
Read the Hobbit in 1964, and then the Lord of the Rings trilogy around 69 or 69; I was so ready for this song when it was released, what a pleasure to know there are others who experience and like the same things... brethren!
My Celtic Ancestors Dance, and Rejoice... 💕✌😎
This, plus Stairway To Heaven are my favorite Zep songs.
To h@ll with more cowbell . We need MORE mandolin !
Yes sire, right away sire
Jimmy Page killed it here!
Blazing steaks, scorch your fork.
This pokes and provokes, the needless charm of tranquility.
Not too keen on Michael Stipe but REM exploited it well, and Copperhead Road is a real feast...
Possibly my favourite Led Zepplin song of all time
I was 16 and this was my favorite from LZ.
One of the best duets in Rock
Quite likely the best piece of lyrical music ever written about fantasy in general and middle-earth in particular.
Such a lovely Led Zeppelin song. Love it.
The truth be told; This is Led Zeppelin's best song!
Along with being rock stars, Led Zeppelin were also gigantic Tolkien nerds.
They were the forst to question "Should men be singing like that?" In high notes as such! But they made it work ...I was reminded that there are other realms in this life to reiterate and it cannot be done in simple tongue...Hats off to Led Zeppelin.
The higher voice on this song belongs to the late, great Sandy Denny. Born 76 years ago today (6th of January 1947).
nice assist by Sandy Denny! only duet zep ever did.
Rip Sandy
I think she was in Fairport Convention at time of this recording.
@@brookinghouseof9457 1 Billion Percentage Agreed. W/O Sandy Denny, this song is just 'meh'
@@matthewsibley-jett6321 I loathe "Heart", but Ann Wilson did a decent cover.
Cheers man ... i didn't know that. I've always thought that Shannon Hoon would have been awesome in harmony with Robert.
"The Pain of War, Cannot exceed, the woe of aftermath"
Mystical. a rock and roll masterpiece
Saw Robert Plant and Alison Krause perform this last night. Incredible! Once in a lifetime event!
That music ...a torche for our souls,thank you led Zeppelin.
I listen to this every morning with coffee and CIG. Great morning song.
I listen to it in my morning boiling hot bath- the only way I can walk each day..nice pleasant way to start the day - listening to this song :)
@Spermwhale1000 or a glass of really cold water and a joint? Actually a onie in my case...only takes one hit w todays weed for me!
This, All of My Love, and Over the Hills and Far Away are my favorites of theirs.
Willie Gordon I love songs like Evermore, Going to California or Bron Yr Aur more too, but... Stairway is not overrated
Yeah stairway ain't over rated there's just a lot of others that are underrated
pizza with pineapple crust Exactly!
Going to California....a favorite too.
The created so much wonderful material that if pressed to cite my favorite track, I could not do so for fear of compromising the others.
brilliant song 2019 and still love it
My personal battle anthem 💗
Hace varias decadas que escucho esta obra(Amor Eterno)si!!!que existe.
Great song that. Full of drama and melody.
I love the all Zeppelin but the mystical tunes are awesome:
Battle of evermore
Four sticks
Achilles last stand
Ramble On
No Quarter
Misty Mountain Hop
Stairway to Heaven
Over the Hills and far, far away
Going to California...
They take you to another world
There was a a live version of Achilles, wow it’s immense ❤️
Great lord of the ring-esque back ground. very coorect
Mystical and Magical beyond. The perfect bridge between Rock n Roll & Stairway... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR- YES BRING IT BACK!
This song has so much power my dad used to sing me this and stair way to heaven
Lucky human😄
😮 this is the 1st LZ song I actually hunted down I heard it in a car on my way to a rave in 92.
Still blows my mind.
beautifully done video to do justice to one of the great songs of all time, well played
Led zeppelin spent a lot of time covering New World songs-this is one of their best because it connects with their own Old World ancestry of Britannia. Its in their blood.
And this is why I love Zepplin, they’re so epic!
2020?❤️❤️💕
This is poetry in motion.
A story in song. A lesson in basic grammar.
Who knew that the Zeppelin were teachers in their own right 😀
One of the great duets in rock history the voices blend perfectly together
I aree with all the statements that have been made. This is my favorite Zep song and it is truly magical. I play mandolin and this Mandolin parts are so beautiful and creative. I can't think of any other songs that capture the Mandolin's haunting beauty like this. For you theory people, this song is in A Dorian, plus it's not easy to play.
Favourite Led Zep track ever!
I just want to run shirtless through night forests and hills to this
Can't lie
LED-ZEPPELIN RULES!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!
They came from the stars to bring us music.
One day they will return...
Perfect. The Great Awakening!
Such an astonishing piece of music. Lord of the Rings meets King Arthur. And to think it got started when Jimmy asked to have a look at John Paul's mandolin.
Take me to heaven twice ❤️
It's songs like this that make you believe magic is REAL.
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....... Its straight forward in the most righteous of British ways
One of the songs as a teenager that has given me tinnitus today ....... worth it though
Effing amazing, bring back great memories!
Brings back great memories… best time for music… fabulously talented 🥰
Amazing trip down memory lane. I think I discovered Marijuana, Led Zeppelin, and Lord of The Rings all when I was in High School. ❤
How prophetic this song has become. Putin vs. the World. Spot on Zepp, spot on.
