“The Piper” ABBA Lyrics
They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away
We’re all following a strange melody
We’re all summoned by a tune
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon…
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
Sub luna saltamus
They came from the south
From the west and the north and from the east
They waited for the man
Like a parish is waiting for the priest
Longed to hear him play
Play their minds away
We’re all following a strange melody
We’re all summoned by a tune
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon…
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
Sub luna saltamus
He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him play
Play their minds away
We’re all following a strange melody
We’re all summoned by a tune
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon…
We’re following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon

Lyrical Diary-
Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.
Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
