Symphony of Destruction is the second song on the thrash metal band Megadeths 5th studio album, Countdown to Extinction. The song is one of the heaviest songs written by the band. While it isnt known for its speed, its definately famed for its heaviness. The songs lyrical meaning depicts giving someone power and watching them grow. You take a mortal man, And put him in control Watch him become a god, Watch peoples heads aroll Aroll... Just like the pied piper Lead rats through the streets We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the symphony... Of destruction Acting like a robot, Its metal brain corrodes. You try to take its pulse, Before the head explodes. Explodes... Just like the pied piper Lead rats through the streets We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the symphony... Of destruction The earth starts to rumble World powers fall Awarring for the heavens, A peaceful man stands tall Tall... Just like the pied piper Lead rats through the streets We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the symphony... Of destruction
