The Piper

The piper plays a tune, echoing louder
Parading acid dancers in the dark
The question that I spawn has got no answer
The maelstrom in the mirror breaks my heart
The piper plays a tune
And I betrayed the golden rule
I guess that when I hear that tune
The piper knows I’m a fool
If there’s a kingdom come
Right behind that cloud
Above the maddening crowd
If there’s a kingdom come
Let me die another day
I ain’t got the piper’s pay
And he’s standing in my way
My .44 was all about the glory
A shot in anger fired too late to trail
My soul will never heal in a wound that I conceal
A guilty man, I stalk the dragons tail
The piper played a tune
And I woke up in a duel
Trigger finger shakin'
I completely lost my cool
If there’s a kingdom come
Right behind that cloud
Above the maddening crowd
If there’s a kingdom come
Let me die another day
I ain’t got the piper’s pay
He’s standing in my way
Uh uh, uh uh uh
Uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh
If there’s a kingdom come
Right behind that cloud
Above the maddening crowd
If there’s a kingdom come
Let me die another day
I ain’t got the piper’s pay
He’s in my way
If there’s a kingdom come
Right behind that cloud
Above the maddening crowd
If there’s a kingdom come
Let me die another day
I ain’t got the piper’s pay
The pied piper’s in my way
He’s in my way
If there’s a kingdom come
If there’s a kingdom come
If there’s a kingdom come
