This is my very favorite Led Zeppelin song also of all of them. The music is fantastic, the lyrics wonderful. I will not deign to figure them out except in reading them it seems to be about war (things turn bad then good after the war is over) and all that real war ruins and destroys and once gone you cannot bring back those beautiful things back. Once war is over the skies are blue again and creation is restored. It is a very apropos song for Bush right now if things that are becoming nuclear continue under his vision and perceptions and deeds. He is a cowboy in a business suit who needs to go back to Texas and do some shit kicking there, not on a world that may not recover from his 8 year reign of showing how we are not a superpower after all, and that everyone needs to keep a gun (a nuke) in their house just in case.
