Lyrics for Song: Carouselambra
Lyrics for Album: Definitive Collection Of Mini - Lp Replicas [2008]
Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
Await their place within the ring of calm;
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
Await the call they know may never come.
In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course, upset the run;
And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty overrun.
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
Unending dances shadowed on the day.
Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
But no one seemed to question in anyway.
How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.
Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.
I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.
I couldn't stand it another day, another day,
Another day, another day.
Touched by the timely coming,
Roused from the keeper's sleep,
Release the grip, throw down the key.
Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the peace.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
They had to stay!
Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

About Carouselambra
Led Zeppelin's "Carouselambra" stands as a rare and haunting song in the band's extensive discography, characterized by its atmospheric blend of blues and psychedelic rock. Unlike their more famous hard-rock anthems, this track features a distinctive, almost theatrical vocal delivery that sets it apart within their catalog. While often associated with the band's broader legacy of reimagining folk and blues traditions, "Carouselambra" reflects a specific moment in their creative output where they explored darker, more introspective sonic textures. Its inclusion on various compilations highlights its status as a significant, though less frequently performed, piece of their recorded history. The song remains a testament to Led Zeppelin's versatility, showcasing their ability to craft memorable melodies that transcend their typical heavy sound. |
