The Pied Piper of Agartha


 Foundation of the piece.


Do you sometimes wish to escape the hectic noise and low vibrational energy, in the world, today?


The Pied Piper of Agartha


(A lone voice sings within a whisper)


Would you willingly follow me 

Into the Green Hollow


If I pulled back the veil 

And showed you a way in 

To get swallowed 


To escape 

To a wild world of verbs and contradictions


With love and laughter 

Singing and whispering like loose


Chord progressions


As the old world recedes 

Into the distance 


To escape from your weary grotto of 


Penitentiary existence 

To unite in the Green Hollow


With others


Poets 

Singers

Writers and all good folk

As our last line of resistance 


From a world subjugated by darkness


As kindness

Compassion and Love 


Are no longer viewed 

As a pièce de résistance


So


Would you willingly follow me


Into the Green Hollow


If I pulled back the veil

And showed you a way in 


To get swallowed 

To escape 


To a wild world of verbs 

And contradictions


With love and laughter 

 Singing and whispering 


Like loose

Chord 

Progressions


As your old world 


Recedes 

Into the 

Distance 


To escape 

From your weary grotto 

Of penitentiary existence 


To unite in my Green Hollow


My Green Hollow 

As your life's


As your life's

Pièce de Résistance
