Lux Occulta - Pied Piper lyrics

rate me

Beautiful and wealthy is our town of Hamelin

Neighbors are green with envy, proud my fellow citizens

Our stomach's are full, our dreams are calm

We can either kill or buy all that comes our way

Please your honors – said he – I'm able

By means of a secret charm, to draw

All creatures living beneath the sun

That creep or swim or fly or run

After me so as you never saw!

And I chiefly use my charm

On creatures that do people harm

The mole and toad and newt and viper

And people call me the pied piper

But there's this small embarrassing thing

Filthy, disgusting, stinking rats

They don't belong here

They don't match

Did almighty lord create the scum?

You can have your perfect world

But you will have to pay the price

‘Cause there's the small, embarrassing thing

Filthy, disgusting, stinking us

We don't belong here

We don't match

Your father in heavens didn't create us

Pay your bills fellow citizens

Or we will take your children with us

It's not about hatred, we're not your enemies

But you see, we have to feed the rats

And you will never learn

Who's the hunter and who's prey in this game

And you will never learn

Who is Pied Piper and who's rat in the end

And you will never learn

Who is the leader and who's been lead
