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
Just like the Pied Piper
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
Explodes, explodes
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
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A-warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
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
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a-roll
A-roll, a-roll
Just like the Pied Piper
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
Explodes, explodes
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
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A-warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
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

You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction
In the second verse talks about what happens when the general people tries to protest against this so called leaders...
Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes.
they starts to act like emoitonless robots and take heartless measures to stop their protest/movement..
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes.
Explodes...
they starts to put military laws and riot polices and tear gas and rubber bullets on those protesting people..
But in the last para megadesht seems to be optimistic by saying that those leaders dont last in the end..they fall..and they had to resign in the face of movement of the general people..
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
i had that political idea in my head but... you took a deeper look into the lyrics
Metallica is not very good....
Why haven't they inducted Dave Mustaine?
are you crazy? kirk is way better than dave. don't get me wrong, dave is good but kirk is better
has become one of the greastest band in history...
better than megadeth.........
