Mareway to Heaven (S7: "Once Upon a Zeppelin"

There's a stallion who spent all his glittering gold
And he's buying a mareway to Heaven
When he gets there he knows, that his Princess is close
With a word he can see what he came for
Ooh, ooh, and he's buying the mareway to Heaven
Yes he waited in line, cause he wants to be sure
He gets to see purple wings
In a tree by the mountain, that's where she was born
So the minotaur's saying

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

There's a feeling he gets when he look to the west
Where the sun sets, cause Twilight's her name
In his thoughts he sees visions of tall crystal trees
Where the mare of his dreams is now living

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon if we all pay the fee
Iron Will gives us access
To the princess and her family, right here on board
And the top deck will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle on the airship, don't be alarmed now
It's just a rush to see the princess
Yes, there are two mares you can ogle, but in the long run
There's still time to buy merchandise
And it makes me wonder
Her head is spinning and she won't go, in case you don't know
The minotaur's calling her to join him
Dear princess, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your family signed a dumb contract

And as we fly on through the skies
Through clouds taller than our souls
There walks a princess we all know
Who shines purple light and wants to show
How friendship is better than gold
And if you listen very hard
Her song will come to you at last
This two-for-one is a free-for-all
And the minotaur's outcast

Yes he's jumped off the mareway to Heaven...

You saw this coming and you know it...

Never having actually HEARD Stairway to Heaven, and being oblivious to reference half the time, I didn't.

[Marwile]

I have no idea why the melody of "Highway to Hell" played in my head while reading this... It's the literal opposite...

[SuperSonicHeroes]

Wish I could say I saw this coming like you said but I honestly didn’t.

You're not the only one. The moment I read the title I immediately thought about the song. Though I'm not sure if it's the right reference here.

[FanOfMostEverything]

I honestly didn't, but I do like what you did with the idea.

Psst, the reference is "Stairway to Heaven". You know, by Led Zeppelin?

[superfun]

I didn't see it coming, but I don't really listen to music all that much

[EchoWing]

In hindsight, the reference makes sense.

[Lunar Walker]

Great choice of song.
wish the melody sank up better at the end.

[Noc]

TIL some people have never heard “Stairway to Heaven”.

Good lyrics, btw.

[namar13766]

The fact there’s a stairway to heaven and a highway to Hell says something about their expected traffic.

[NocturnalLillith]

Try reading it backwards!

Not a fan of this chapter, as much as I like Led Zeppelin.

It feels really forced, a chapter of just song lyrics isn't especially interesting (it's also borderline with respect to site rules), and "mareway" is just dumb.
