The Piper - Steve Walsh

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
