The Piper's Call” adalah salah satu dari delapan lagu baru yang dibuat oleh David Gilmour untuk album terbarunya, Lucky and Strange. Lirik lagu ini ditulis oleh sang istri, Poly Samson, dengan kata-kata yang cukup misterius namun universal.
Lirik lagunya berkiash tentang godaan dan konsekuensi yang harus diterima bila tak sanggup menahannya. Dengan kedalaman lirik dan kehebatan musiknya, lagu ini adalah perpaduan metaforis yag pas banget untuk menyampaikan pesan-pesannya.

[Verse 1]
Take these binds everlasting
Can't undo the voodoo that you do
And the knots that we fasten
Will not work themselves loose
[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
Steer clear of the snakes
The road to hell is paved with gold, they'll tell you
All the things that you don't need, they'll sell you
[Verse 2]
Your conscience uncontrolled
And beauty to behold
The promise of eternal youth
The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude
[Verse 3]
The flamеs are high, the piper's call, contagious
A fixеr who will numb your pain, and strangeness
The wheels are hot, the hangover outrageous
This dealer, he will trade your soul for favours
[Chorus]
But you'll reap what you sow
As I found long ago
The promise of eternal youth
The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude
