From revolutions to revolutions

I) - The Bastille (1789)

The time has come

The crowd advances

Holding weapons

Ready to sacrifice

Paris is on fire

Covered in blood

The wrath of everything

The sans-culottes

The king is lost

It’s the Revolution

Destroying everything

On his way

Going successfully

Seeking victory

Guided by their ambitions

They destroyed the Bastille

They kill the Throne

Lily flower

Wanting a new world

Made of democracy

Their feat is eternal

Place de la Bastille

Is the vestige

Of this monarchy

II) - Louis 17: the temple prison (1792-1795)

It is raining
At the temple tower
The prison of grief
Where Louis died

The Unknown Prince
Promised to a future of blood
He lived through the French storm
And saw the lily slain

Alone, surrounded by darkness
Abused by the guards
Victim of his parents' mistakes
And having lost everything

He ceased to exist
A shadow in the wind
A dying rose
Forgotten by all

Her tears were falling
He thought of happy memories
And regretted that his life
Was stolen by war

Louis, the martyr
Of the French revolution
Had to die
'Cause he was innocent

Louis, the martyrOf the French revolutionHad to die'Cause he was innocent

III) - Napoleon (1795-1815):

A man riding a horse
Galloping across the plains
Steering wheel with wings
He observes the landscape

A fearless general
A great conqueror
A lion leading his army
Towards the next victory

They called him “Hero”
His name was Napoleon
He ended the Revolution
And conquered the Continent

He was the Throne
And the arms of France
Conqueror of his enemies
Help from the Austerlitz sun

He sacrificed his life
Leaving us a future of light
Erasing our minds
And opening our eyes

He sacrificed his lifeLeaving us a future of lightErasing our mindsAnd opening our eyes

IV) - Freedom

The Revolution full of ideas
Napoleon is exiled
They have been tamed
The Restoration is born

Romantics full of pain
Want better days
Government problems
Show the dying monarchy

The alleys of Paris are in ruins. The city is fighting with fire and blood, covered with a cloud of thick black smoke. The buildings are in flames. The people run, shout, protest: He is ready to die. Bodies cover the streets, and the dead never end. A clamor rises:

"Until the blood we will fight
Because our freedoms we want
Fierce soldiers let's go
Freedom we save "

Perched on a barricade, a light guides the people in battle. She bursts like a star is Marianne, our freedom. At his side, a little boy, worthy of Napoleon, encourages them. He's a little big soul. Gun in hand, the people are ready for anything.

They will fight to the blood for their freedom.

They will fight to the blood for their freedom
