Lyrics
1988.12.21 - Hoquiam, WA

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
Come from a place so close down to Hollywood
Where the heart sings
Of the gods
Oh god, wish for god
Oh my god
We are coming home

Threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh
They come from a place so take em back to Hollywood
Oh my god
Oh god, oh god, oh god
We are coming home

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust cannot win the day
It's just, ah, you're losing
Hey, hey, hey




The original as it was performed by Led Zeppelin

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods,
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde singing and crying:
'Valhalla I am coming!'

On we sweep,
With thrashing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war,
We are your overlords.

On we sweep,
With thrashing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing.
