Lyrics:
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] You take a mortal man And put him in control Watch him become a god Watch people's heads a'roll A'roll, a'roll... [Chorus 1] Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony of destruction [Verse 2] Actin' like a robot Its metal brain corrodes You try to take its pulse Before the head explodes Explodes, explodes... [Chorus 2] Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] The Earth starts to rumble World powers fall A'warring for the heavens A peaceful man stands tall A'tall, a'tall... [Chorus 3] Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction
