The Piper

They came from the hills

And they came from the valleys and the plains

They struggled in the cold

In the heat and the snow and in the rain

Came to hear him play

Play their minds away

We're all following a strange melody

We're all summoned by a tune

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon for him

And we dance beneath the moon

(Sub luna saltamus)

They came from the south

From the west and the north and from the east

They waited for the man

Like a parish is waiting for the priest

Longed to hear him play

Play their minds away

We're all following a strange melody

We're all summoned by a tune

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon for him

And we dance beneath the moon

(Sub luna saltamus)

He gave them a dream

He seduced everybody in the land

The fire in his eyes

And the fear was a weapon in his hand

So they let him play

Play their minds away

We're all following a strange melody

We're all summoned by a tune

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon

We're following the piper

And we dance beneath the moon for him

And we dance beneath the moon

And we dance beneath the moon
