the piper came today

the dance is over now

as the melody just echoes in the night

of the love song that i sang

out of tune

to a drummer

out of time

i tripped the light fantastic

and never hearing harmonies were lost

and now i sit alone

in the silence

looking at the cost

cause the piper came today

and he was hell to pay

cause he took my world away

when the piper came today

in the shadows of the dim light

as the piper plays

the cheaters hide

never giving thought

to the cost

of the never-ending lies

and the sweater played his music

the more is added to the bitter price

for the dance is over now

and the melody just echoes in the night

cause the piper came today

and he was hell to pay

cause he took my world away

when the piper came today

cause he took my world away

when the piper came today
