Unity

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 (rah!)
Freedom calls, soldiers amassing
And stacking their ammunition deep in the courts
Standing in a rank v. tattered banners and flags
Inacting 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 the 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

The blade of the guillotine drops
I look at my watch then put it 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 blasting
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'll 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
