LED ZEPPELIN's LYRICS


The Battle of Evermore
Stairway to Heaven


The Battle of Evermore

Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
An walked the night alone

Ooh!, dance in the dark light
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all

Ooh!, 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
Ooh!, dance in the dark light
sing to the morning light

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

Ooh! the war is common cry,
Pick up you swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know

Ooh!, 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 rings 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

Ooh! dance in the dark light
Sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance black
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



 Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh!, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh! it makes me wonder
Ooh! it really makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh! it makes me wonder
Ooh! it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
