The time it takes
Never delayed,
Wretched fakes
Are now displayed.
Time has come
Meeting soon. . .
Pretty thing to
Dance by the moon.

The Piper of a thousand souls,
Isn't it that way?
Always dreaming, dwelling,
Screaming. . .
Life has gone astray.

Frolic in the shadows deep
Careless forests far,
The soul piper consoles them so
Settled spirits are.
Fear it not
Deny it no,
Where will now
The spirits go?

The Piper of a thousand souls
Isn't it that way?
Always dreaming, dwelling
Screaming
Life has gone astray.

It's always that way
It seems.
How the children disarray.

Holding up a hundred dreams
It seems,
Letting them delay
Or
Giving them away.

The Piper of a thousand souls
Isn't it that way?
Always dreaming, dwelling
Screaming--
Life has gone astray.
Life has left my day.
