[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]

There's a gent, see, he's sure all that glitters's been sold

And he's buying a Stairwell to Hell

When he gets there, he knows, if The Doors are all closed

With a word, he can get what he came for

Ooh, and he's buying a Stairwell to Hell

[Verse 2]

There's writing on the wall, but he wants to be reassured

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by a brook, there's a raven who mocks

Sometimes all of our thoughts are mistaken

[Refrain]

Ooh, it makes me ponder

Ooh, makes me ponder

[Verse 3]

There's a feeling of unease when I look to the east

And my soul, oh, is crying about Eden

In my thoughts, I have seen fiery smoke beyond the trees

And the murmurs of those who stand looking

[Refrain]

Ooh, it makes me ponder

Ooh, really makes me ponder

Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" (1971)

[Verse 4]

Martin van Maele's La Sorcière

And it's whispered that soon if this piper calls the tune

Then our stringer will lead us to seasons

And a Golden day will Dawn for those who stand long

And this forest will echo with laughter

[Interlude]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ho

[Verse 5]

If there's a hustle in your head, yo, don't be cunning, no

A spring clean's a must for Jack in the Green

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There may be no time to change the road you're on

Robert Plant on feud with Jimmy Page: Led Zep will never reunite

Lucifer az urral szemben (Madach)

[Refrain]

And it makes me ponder

Ohh, oh-oh

[Verse 6]

Your head is humming and it won't slow, in case you don't know

The Real Piper's calling you to join Him

Dear gent, see? Can you hear me?

The wind blows, and did you know --

Your stairwell rides on a hissing wind? Oh

 

[Guitar solo]

Hans Memling "Hell"

[Bridge]

And as we sidewind down the road

Our shadows stronger than our souls

There slides a gent, see? The One we all know

Who shines bright light and wants to show

How everything we can turn to gold

And if we hum it very fast

The tune will come to us at last

When we are one with the One in Hell, yeah

To roll the rock and still have to roll

[Outro]

And he's bought us a stairwell to Hell
