Lyrics
[Mustaine]
You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads 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
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...
[Chorus]
[Solo - Marty]
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
[Chorus]
