Led Zeppelin - Battle of Evermore (Cover)

Thought I'd give this one a try...Not a faithful cover if that's what you're looking for... I'm trying to do both the highs and lows at the same time, this is a tough one for me to do on my own ! ...also makes me want to learn the mandolin :)

2 live webcam captures blended together :
1 track = guitar + vocals (low and high)
1 track=vocals (low and high) singing along to add depth
Nothing fancy, this is straight up :)

Lyrics :

"The Battle Of Evermore"

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 blow,
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 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 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.

Nice to see you back:) You did this song justice. It's a hard one without the mandolin and the Sandy Denny part. My regards.-Louie
