I had a dream last night the piper is awake
a premonition he might be on his way
once frozen in the ashes of a hasty retreat
blood ran like water in the gutters of the street
he rises from his bed and climbs his faithful steed
he'll play the flute he won from his voodoo king
the piper's anxious as he nears the gates of hell
the trails growing cold and he can hear the yells
of condemned, supposed wicked, cast upon the flames
each and every one will suffer just the same
the kinds and queens are lined up, pipers's praises they will sing
dead peasants holding golden hearts don't seem to mean a thing
I had a dream last night the piper was awake
a premonition he might be on his way
the faithful get their hopes up
but they've heard all this before
and the pain of misconception leaves them wanting something more
I hate to be the one with wisdom for the wise
but I've seen the future and the piper's sad demise
watch the pretty blade fall
