[Originally from the album "Countdown to Extinction"]
You take a mortal man, and put him in control
Watch him become a
god, watch people's heads a-roll
Heads a-roll, a-roll
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance
like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
Acting like a robot, its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its
pulse, before the head explodes
Head explodes, explodes
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance
like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
The earth starts to rumble, world powers fall
A-warring for the heavens, a peaceful man
stands tall
A-tall, a-tall
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to
the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the
Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
