There's no end to what they'll take. Flaunt the fruits of noble birth. Wash the salt into the earth. [Riff 2] x2 w/ lyrics: But they're marching to Bastille Day. La guillotine will claim her bloody prize. Free the dungeons of the innocent. The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise. [Riff 1] x2 [Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics: Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace. Naked fear on every face. See them bow their heads to die As we would bow as they rode by. [Riff 2] x2 w/ lyrics: And we're marching to Bastille Day. La guillotine will claim her bloody prize. Sing oh choirs of cacophony. The king has kneeled to let his kindgom rise.
