This song is about the dangerous consequences of giving one person too much power. The protagonist sings about how a mortal man can become like a god and cause destruction, similar to the Pied Piper leading rats through the streets. The lyrics describe the people being controlled like puppets, swaying to the symphony of destruction, until eventually, even world powers fall and a peaceful man stands tall.
