Symphony Of Destruction Lyrics
Arch Enemy
Lyrics
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll, A'roooooooollll
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, exploooodes
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
-Solo-
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, taaaaaaalll
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
Of Destruction
