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 diedThe Unknown Prince
Promised to a future of blood
He lived through the French storm
And saw the lily slainAlone, surrounded by darkness
Abused by the guards
Victim of his parents' mistakes
And having lost everythingHe ceased to exist
A shadow in the wind
A dying rose
Forgotten by allHer tears were falling
He thought of happy memories
And regretted that his life
Was stolen by warLouis, the martyr
Of the French revolution
Had 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 landscapeA fearless general
A great conqueror
A lion leading his army
Towards the next victoryThey called him “Hero”
His name was Napoleon
He ended the Revolution
And conquered the ContinentHe was the Throne
And the arms of France
Conqueror of his enemies
Help from the Austerlitz sunHe sacrificed his life
Leaving us a future of light
Erasing our minds
And opening our eyesIV) - Freedom
The Revolution full of ideas
Napoleon is exiled
They have been tamed
The Restoration is bornRomantics full of pain
Want better days
Government problems
Show the dying monarchyThe 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.
