Damned CD skipped on " Stairway to Heaven" part about forest fires!
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those
Who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it really makes me wonder

1. It is only about that in metaphor.

Although many may see it differently.

It is a great song, but heaven can not be bought, but that is a minor point in that song seen two ways. Hint, it is encoded, 'Words have two meanings'. If you 'do' to get to heaven, why do you do something?

I do believe his music made him a wonder.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzlv-Tlqa2s

There's a lady whose 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, 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 is a songbird who sings:
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres 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, 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,
Its just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
Theres still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.
Ooooooh

Your head is humming and it won't go,
In case you don't know:
The pipers 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 to you at last.
When all are one and one is all, yeah, to be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

3. If a Led Zep CD skips consider it a blessing.
Maybe the whole thing will end soon.

4. Is that the part that says "worship satan" when played backwards?
If so, that would be pretty darn scary in my book!

8. The sensible thing to do would be to dispose of that CD right away.
Don't keep it in the house for another minute.
