I passed you on a stairway Somewhere back in time, I just had to make you mine! You tried to take me your way Up where the skies are blue, I had other plans for you… You wanted to go towards the light, I dragged you down into the night Through depths of dark despair. Welcome home to the devil’s lair. I pushed and you fell Down the stairway to hell…

Stairway to Hell
I passed you on a stairway Somewhere back in time, I just had to make you mine! You tried to take me your way Up where the skies are blue, I had other plans for you… You wanted to go towards the light, I dragged you down into the night Through depths of dark despair. Welcome home to the devil’s lair. I pushed and you fell Down the stairway to hell…
