You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a 'roll
A 'roll, a 'roll
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

the meaning to symphony of destruction is clear they are talking about the world ending with a lot of people rising up in anarchy. that is why they say " the earth starts to rumble, world powers fall, a warring for the heavens, a peaceful man stands tall." come on people, just read the lyrics and think on it. it's common sense. Anarchy is what it is.
