He wields his flute with an expert hand 
And then, all too soon 
The dancing stops and the children stand 
The piper calls the tune. 
 
He holds their future in his palm 
An old and powerful man 
With missiles poised and bombs at hand 
They wait for his command. 
 
With songs of fear and bigotry 
A cruel, hypnotic sound 
He plays his last tune greedily 
And strikes the children down.
