Bastille Day Lyrics - Different Stages (live) - Rush

Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake 

There's no end to what they'll take 

Flaunt the fruits of noble birth 

Wash the salt into the earth 

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 

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

And we're marching to Bastille Day 

La guillotine will claim her bloody prize 

Sing, o choirs of cacophony 

The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise 

Lessons taught, but never learned 

All around us, anger burns 

Guide the future by the past 

Long ago, the mould was cast 

Photos 

For they marched up to Bastille Day 

La guillotine claimed her bloody prize 

Hear the echoes of the centuries 

Power isn't all that money buys, whoa
