comments: i’m going to go ahead and state right now that there’s really no irony to speak of here. the original is awesome, and the cover more so. the end.
first song is cover, second is original.

led zeppelin – immigrant song
trent reznor and atticus ross with karen oh – immigrant song
lyrics: we come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
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
threshing 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
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
can win the day
despite of all your losing
