While it isnt known for its speed, its definately famed for its heaviness. The songs lyrical meaning depicts giving someone power and watching them grow.
You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads aroll
Aroll...
Just like the pied piper
Lead 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...
Just like the pied piper
Lead rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the symphony...
Of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Awarring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
Just like the pied piper
Lead rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the symphony...
Of destruction
