when the call comes

Can you feel it happening?
Does it make you feel, feel all alone?
Does it echo down in your soul?

Did you see it coming your way?
Do you think you'll do what you should?
Would you stop it if only you could?

Nothing more to say
No other song to play
When the call comes
There's always a piper to pay

Can you see the tangled thread?
Can you unravel it in your hand?
Can you make it easy to understand?

Does it seem too esoteric?
Do you think you're one of a kind?
Does it feel like you're losing your mind?

Nothing more to say
No other song to play
When the call comes
There's always a piper to pay

Let go, let it fly if you can
Let it fill your mind like a rushing wind
Let it keep you safe through the very end

Nothing you can say
No other song to play
The call is gonna come
And the piper's already paid
