| Pay The Piper |
| The sacrifical lamb comes crawling across the land As a thousand years of peace are shattered by a single man The hungry sky, it does belie the truth Blind eyes see what we want them to We follow like slaves driven to our graves Because of the lies in which we believe The tortured time, it does tick by so fast Every breath you breathe could be your last Who wants to live in a world that's run like a machine Ripping apart your goals and shattering your dreams When every wrong move is criticized, you must realize That you don't have to follow But you've already sold your soul for the time of day And a fate that's still unknown The clawed hand is reaching for you You closed the deal, but never asked the price And the time has come for you-- to Pay the Piper The ending of the day draws closer still As disbelieving eyes fall upon your window sill Looking down from your perch, ten stories high After all the sins you've sinned, you deserve to die. You huddle close, drawing the blankets closer Cuddling with your greed in the night Regretting what you've done, but prepared to do it again You know that when that phone rings, you'll have to Pay the Piper With your tears of blood The pain is too much for you to bear Pay the Piper When all is said and done You know the time has come To Pay the Piper Now you go back out into the cold, dead world The gears grinding you into submission You want to fight, but you already know That you lost everything when you sold your soul And now you've got to Pay the Piper With your tears of blood The pain is too much for you to bear Pay the Piper When all is said and done You know the time has come To Pay the Piper |
