blindly the lemmings did follow
questioning their leader not
for his word alone they'd swallow
none awake to the piper's plot

questioning their leader not
he'd corralled them with nonsense*
none awake to the piper's plot
they'd be downed at his expense

he'd corralled them with nonsense
a Jim Jones kind of dingbat
they'd be downed at his expense
as he called in a weird ****

a Jim Jones kind of dingbat
proffering the edge's cliff-face
as he called in a weird ****
all drowned pursuing his trace

proffering the edge's cliff-face
the testament of a madman
all drowning pursuing his trace
their eyes were closed like a fan

the testament of a madman
none awake to the piper's plot
their eyes were closed like a fan
*questioning their leader not
