Test Xtreme, you're pretty arrogant to be so wrong. According to Mustaine, 1992: "Basically what this song is about is, you take a person - a typical stereotype numbskull - and you give him the old shit, shower, and shave, throw him in a monkey suit and he can run the country. I mean, they got a monkey up there right now. As he starts to become more this political puppet, things start to get worse." and "It's about the masses being led to their own destruction by a leader who's more or less a puppet of a phantom government. Just about every leader we've had that hasn't ended up with a bullet in his head is a political puppet." Thanks to Realms of Deth for the quotes

i agree that it has to do with political puppets and the LOVE of power, not power alone, leads to destruction, and how people with power can trick their lessers the chorus is an excellent example that tells about the pied piper who was held in esteem in the place he went for getting rid of the town's rats, however he also led the entire town into a river, killing all but one (a peaceful man stands tall)

I was able to relate this song back to Ancient China(I wanted to play a song during social studies and have my teacher okay with it). "You take a mortal man, And put him in control Watch him become a god, " This can be related to The Mandate of Heaven, where new emperors would claim the gods had given them the right to rule. "Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the Symphony... Of Destruction " This I said would have been told through Confucious's eyes because he believed that just following whatever they say would lead to our undoing in a form of orchestrated destruction. Also, I brought up the cycle of dynasties being orchestrated madness and undoing. They all start out really good, but just end up neglecting things in the end if they werent ment to be great. "The earth starts to rumble World powers fall A'warring for the heavens, A peaceful man stands tall Tall..." This I just related to confucious again saying how he was such a peaceful man who sort of brought some order and everything to certain dynasties.
