Lyrics:

He walked into the silent town,
A smile carved deep, a borrowed glow,
His footsteps humming something low.

They hailed him for the rats he stole,
A tune that scraped the dusk in half,
A song too cold for mortal souls.

His pipe was shaped from hollow bone,
It whispered like a starving wind,
It called to all who dreamed within.

Play for us, O piper strange!
Your melody that shifts and chains.
A promise made, a debt unpaid.

The townsfolk weighed their silver thin,
Their gratitude a trembling lie,
Their fear the reason hope ran dry.

So once again his music rose
Not for the rats, but softer still,
A tune that warmed the children’s will.

They followed him like drifting leaves,
In steps too calm for wakeful hearts,
Their laughter thinning as they marched.

Play for us, O piper strange!
Your melody that shifts and chains.
A promise made, a debt unpaid.

The parents called but no one turned,
The hills swallowed their echo whole,
The dawn arrived without a soul.

The town now keeps its shutters shut,
For fear his shadow might return,
And take whatever’s left to learn.

Play for us, O piper strange!
Your melody that shifts and chains.
The children hear it far away…
And follow still. They always may.
