The First Head

The Citizens of Paris:

Let's take up arms, let's defend ourselves
All of Paris must take up arms
Let's die gloriously
At the gates of the Bastille
We will march on
Let the first head fall

The Beast:

The poison is widespread
The insurrection is on
They call for their dead
These words are
On everyone's lips
As we ride

So show them, my children
Show them how we kill
Rifles are at the Invalides
And gunpowder at the Bastille

Let death reign, take it all
The first head, make it fall

The Citizens of Paris:

Let's take up arms, let's defend ourselves
All of Paris must take up arms
Let's die gloriously
At the gates of the Bastille
We will march on
Let the first head fall

The Beast:

Now they call for freedom
Say they no longer want to be slaves
Fury took their souls
They will dig their own graves

That's the taste of blood
The elixir of long life
Drink my little ones
Drink up my darlings and strike

Quench your thirst, drink your fill

The Citizens of Paris:

Let's take up arms, let's defend ourselves
All of Paris must take up arms
Let's die gloriously
At the gates of the Bastille
We will march on
Let the first head fall

The Beast:

Cut the throats and guts, slit, slice
Slaughter, shred, cut off the first head

The Citizens of Paris:

Let's take up arms, let's defend ourselves
All of Paris must take up arms
Let's die gloriously
At the gates of the Bastille
We will march on
Let the first head fall

Take up arms, let's defend ourselves
All of Paris must take up arms
Let's die gloriously
At the gates of the Bastille
We will march on
Let the first head fall
