Gallows Pole - Led Zeppelin

gallows pole

endless stairs
a guiding light
it seems to shine bright
but it's cold
wicked signs will mark our way
wicked signs will mark our way
mark our way
mark our way

call me messiah - i ** god
a true lord but alone
call me a liar - oh i won't deny
that i'm mad

** i evil ** i good
mad existance, faith and greed

the universe a gallows pole
extinction of the living soul

towards the sun we'll keep moving
fate i hold in hand
dancing 'til the end
i ** condemned
oh i bring all mankind's end
the end
oh i've seen
all life die

a shattered heart an empty soul
just one false move and it took its toll
the rising of an evil seed
i can't describe the pain i feel
outside it's dark inside it's cold
the sun still shines bright
but its time is short

endless stairs
a guiding light
that once was warm
but now it's bitter cold

it's freezing hearts
it's freezing souls
soon icy shades will cover all
it pretends to be alive
it pretends to be alive
be alive
be alive
be alive

collapse of the mother
all will die
the void it frightens me
i've faced the demon
and he dwells inside

and when i laugh it's tears i hide
and when i cry it's joy inside
a foul disease has stained the land
the bitter harvest of a dying bloom
and when i cry it's joy inside
a wicked smile for all the tears i hide
it hurts to hold all the pain i feel
the bitter harvest of a dying bloom

nothing is real
nothing but him
