Lyrics

Symphony Of Destruction - Demo

[Verse 1]

You take a mortal man

And put him in control

Watch him become a god

Watch people's heads a'roll

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

Actin' like a robot

Its metal brain corrodes

You try to take its pulse

Before the head explodes

[Pre-Chorus]

Explodes, explodes...

[Chorus]

Just like the Pied Piper

Led rats through the streets

We dance like marionettes

Swaying to the symphony of destruction

[Verse 3]

The Earth starts to rumble

World powers fall

A'warring for the heavens

A peaceful man stands tall

[Pre-Chorus]

A'tall, a'tall...

[Chorus]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

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
