We all know the story of the Pied Piper

Who played his pipe and rid the town of rats

Who came back and rid the town of children

But what we all don't know

Is what really happened the day the children vanished

For the Pied Piper wasn't kidnapping them

He was saving them

The Pied Piper was a kid

And suffered under the hands of the adults

All he wanted was to be safe and to not get hurt

He wanted that for all the children

So he dressed up and in the night

Walked around and played his pipe

He walked the rats out of the town

To see if he actually could

The following night, he played for the children

He walked the children out of the town

And to a place where they would be safe

The adults became furious that their slaves disappeared

At the hands of the Pied Piper

So they crafted a fairytale of their innocence

And played the victim

To his supposed "evil" crimes
