No Quarter

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

The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe

Side by side we wait the night
The darkest of them all

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

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 seas of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget

The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh

Oh, war is the common cry

The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know, ohhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

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

Sing as you raise your bow

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


Oh, dance in the dark of night

The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back
Bring it back

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes

Ohhh ohhh ohhhh, ahh ahh ahh ahh

Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Ohhhhhh
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Bring it back,
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Oh now,
Bring it,
Bring it,
Bring it,
Bring it,
Bring it,
Bring it,
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Huh huh huh (x28)

Rendest rachib, rhud rhip zelp
Borachs un fun dehl noach, shochen zoap

Oh ohhhhh, oh yeah
Ah ahhhhh, oh yeah

And your city will fall
And your corn won't grow
To the silence from the temple
Hear the truth explode
It is written in the dust
It is whispered in the wind
From the wisdom of the fathers
Where the word begins

Ah ahhhhh, oh yeah
Oh ohhhhh, oh yeah

In the kingdom of gold
And the stolen chance
You can join the celebration
See the children dance
And the bells will ring
And the crowds will roar
And the sand in the glass
Can pour no more

Yallah, yallah, yallah, yallah,
Yallah, yallah, yallah, yallah

Oh ohhhhh, oh yeah
Oh ohhhhh, oh yeah

The rivers will freeze
And the hosts descend
Thru the fires and the storms
To the bitter end
And the treasures and the gifts
And the words and truths
Will be cast to the heavens
With oomrah fruit

Ah ahhhhh, oh yeah
Oh ohhhhh, oh yeah

And your city will fall
And your corn won't grow
To the silence from the temple
Hear the truth explode
It is written in the dust
It is whispered in the wind
From the wisdom of the fathers
Where the word begins

I don't know how i'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how i'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend, the boy next door

I can't believe what people saying
Gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day lo-o-o-ong
You're in the darker side of town

And when i'm out i see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me
Could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me

That's the way
Oh, that's the way it ought to be, ahh-ohh, ohh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ohh-ohh, dont you know
Mama said, ohh, mama said
That's the way it ought to stay, ohh-hoh

And yesterday i saw you standing by the river
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Had they got you hypnotized

And yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so i say to you that nothing really matterrs
And all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it
When all your ears have turned away
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see, ohhh
Is that the way it ought to stay

That's the way
Ohh, that's the way it oughta be, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, no-no-no
Oh, dont you know now
Mama said, oh, mama said that's the way it's gonna stay, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, ohhh

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Ahhh ahhhhh

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where i have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
But, all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
Though, by a word i heard could i relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-hoh, whoa-oh, yeah

Yes, yes

Oooh, oh baby, baby, i been cryin'
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, there's no denyin', there's no denyin'
Oooh yes, baby baby, i've been flyin', oh yeah
Lord, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no denyin'
Here's another one to ya

All i see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As i scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find now, where i been, yeah

Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Who heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in june
When movin' through kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh, yeah
Whoa-hoh, whoa-hoh, ohh-oh-oh-hooooh

Well, when i want, baby, when i'm on my way, yeah
When i see, baby, when i see the way you stay, yeah

Well i'm down, when i'm near
Please, please, tell me where i've been
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Whooooooo, yeah-ee yeah
Whoo, yeah, i can take you there, take you there
Oh, my baby, ooh my baby, let me take you there, oh-oh
Ooh darlin', yeah, darlin', yeah

Black night, still there shining

"you gotta love, you ain't lonely"
Now she's gone and lefft me only
Lookin' for what i knew

The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy just'a oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ahhh

Without a friend, there's no denying
You're incomplete, there'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew

So throw it down, cleveland rain
The queen of love has flown again
To seek her daughter
Who must lie beside the thief
Whose golden tongue she will believe
Defies the order, ohhh

Ohh, that is why
Ohh, that is why

Shall we dance and never stop
Take my hand and stop the clock
From turning over
And spirit weave and spirit bend
In the move that has no end
That we must follow

Ohhhhhhh
Ohh, ohh

Show me your eyes
Oh, light of the son
Touch me with fire
My mind is undone
All life conspire
My freedom has come
I drift through desire
My wonderful one

When you do what you do
I can never, never, never
Let you go
When you feel the way you feel
You can never, never, never
Let it show

Show me your eyes
Oh, light of the son
Touch me with fire
My mind is undone
All life conspire
My freedom has come
I drift through desire
My wonderful one

Oh, hoh-hoh, ah ah-ah,
Mmm oh oh-oh, oh ohhh ohhh hohhh

So throw it down, cleveland rain
The queen of love has flown again
To seek her daughter
Who must lie beneath the thief
Whose golden tongue she will believe
Defies the order, oh yeah yeah yeah
