Pied Piper - The Senate

Well, there’s a wolf among the sheep

He’s been talking in his sleep

He’s denying every word he’s ever said

The path is short, the bricks are red

Pilgrim bowed and cracked his head

On the cobblestones of conscience where the cowards dare to tread

And if I don’t mean what I say

Don’t take me for a liar

I’m the Pied Piper, the rebel town crier

Follow me down to the sea

And follow where you will

Follow me to madness, or let the water stand still

He’s been taught to turn his cheek

Telling lies since he could speak

He’s been blinded by the light since he could see

Says, «Lord have mercy, glory be!

But tell me what you mean to me

If your most beloved angel won’t be reconciled to thee!»

And if I don’t mean what I say

Don’t take me for a liar

I’m the Pied Piper, the rebel town crier

Follow me down to the sea

And follow where you will

Follow me to madness, or let the water stand still

Now the wolf has had his fill

Left me here atop the hill

With a secret that I’m not prepared to keep

But when I’m gone, my lips are sealed

Take me to an open field?

Won’t you break the earth at sunset?

Won’t you leave me buried deep?

And if I don’t mean what I say

Don’t take me for a liar

I’m the Pied Piper, the rebel town crier

Follow me down to the sea

And follow where you will

Follow me to madness, or let the water stand still
