[QUOTE="Bloodstone Press, post: 2150792, member: 12468"] I just skimmed the thread, but I didn't see anyone mention one of the greatest: Led Zeppelin: 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 morn - ing 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 seas of happiness, The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no. Oh,-------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 the war is 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 mornin’ 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. Beware the Dragon of Darkenss, baby :cool: I based a whole campaign on that back in 2e with an advanced shadow dragon playing the part of the "Dragon of Darkness." Black Sabbath's Supertzar, although an instrumental, has also inspired many games I wrote. It just sounds like the theme music for an army of demons. [/QUOTE]
