The Piper Lyrics

They came from the hills 
And they came from the valleys and the plains 
They struggled in the cold 
In the heat and the snow and in the rain 
Came to hear him play 
Play their minds away 

We're all following a strange melody 
We're all summoned by a tune 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon for him 
And we dance beneath the moon 
Sub luna saltamus 

They came from the south 
From the west and the north and from the east 
They waited for the man 
Like a parish is waiting for the priest 
Longed to hear him play 
Play their minds away 

We're all following a strange melody 
We're all summoned by a tune 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon for him 
And we dance beneath the moon 
Sub luna saltamus 

He gave them a dream 
He seduced everybody in the land 
The fire in his eyes 
And the fear was a weapon in his hand 
So they let him play 
Play their minds away 

We're all following a strange melody 
We're all summoned by a tune 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon 
We're following the piper 
And we dance beneath the moon for him 
And we dance beneath the moon
