Marie Antoinette, your name's a legend in this land |
|
Treasure for your pleasure, bestowed on favoured gen- |
|
tlemen |
|
The people are in arms, marching on the town |
|
They rise |
|
chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!" |
|
Marie Antoinette, your shadow's falling along the land |
|
Anger born of hunger poisons the hearts of your loyal |
|
men |
|
Fire in their eyes, steel in their hands |
|
They rise |
|
chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!" |
|
Clamouring in the square, the rabble have gone insane |
|
They're over the balustrades, defying the cannon fire |
|
They're into the garrison, they murder the noblemen |
|
Marie Antoinette, Marie Antoinette |
|
"We are the people of France we demand that the |
|
Elegant blue-blooded leeches that bleed us |
|
Are taught what it means to grow fat and not feed us! |
|
We are the people of France, you must heed us!" |
|
Already at the Bastille, the prisoners all run free |
|
They're hammering on the door, Marie Antoinette |
|
They've taken the guillotine, they're coming to take the |
|
Queen |
|
Marie Antoinette, the King and the guards have fled |
|
Marie Antoinette, your shadow's falling along the land |
|
Anger born of hunger, poisoned your men |
|
They rise chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!" |
