Lyrics
[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]
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
[Verse 2]
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes
Explodes
[Chorus]
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
[Chorus]
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]
Solo: Friedman
[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]
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
[Chorus]
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
