Unity - Dan Bull

An eagle soars as the streets all crawl

With people, stores and debris on the floor

We sweep up in awe at the cathedral walls

This city’s laws are in need of rehaul

Freedom calls

Soldiers amassing and stacking their ammunition

Deep in the courts

Stand in a Rank V, tattered banners and flags, enacting a massacre

The assassins see this and leap from the walls

Unsure what the August Decrees did at all

Are you sure the Bastille couldn’t fall?

We should rally morale and proceed with the war

Locks are chopped

The drawbridge drops

The raucus flock 'til they’re reaching

The courts ignoring the shots, meat

For the slaughter, bleed on the floor, just reeking of gore

Thanks a lot to the sans-culottes

For yanking off the breeches they wore

Breaching the walls and windows leap to the floor

And then smokescreen it

Before defeating the bourgeoisie with a claw

I’m sure we’ve seen this before

Better catch and dispatch him

Or that matchstick’ll blast this bastion to ashes

That sort of action’s a burning mistake

Chat to my back 'cause I’m turning away

The earliest grave is the turn of

Your fate, courtesy of the dear Third Estate

Je te plumerai la tête

Je te plumerai la tête

Et la tête

Et la tête

Je te plumerai la tête

The blade of the guillotine drops

I look at my watch then put in my pocket

And hurry, I’ve got to run in

And stop my unlucky target succumbing to harm

And crumbling under the chopping block

While onlookers watch in numbness and shock

Back to the backstreets and the cobble

No palace, these chaps dream of a hovel

Run around the action, gunpowder blastin'

Push past the crowds and leap up a shop wall

Two hops and I’m on the rooftop

Move to a new spot and then I soon drop

Assess the scene, eagle-eyed, who needs to bleed

Who needs to die, you need to read

Between the lines and move the bleating sheep aside

This is the reason why

I made the decision to leave Versailles

Grim Reaper, unsheathe my scythe then cleave

And leave deprived of the need to breathe

Or even be alive, at least

You see, I need to find Elise

'Cause she gives me a reason to be a lease on life as we unite
