Time to stand, time to change Turn around, break free Like a wave from the darkest sea A thunder rolling down Through the stormiest night It's a word of power, source of light Revolution! Logic conclusion A whole world to rearrange Didn't they see the signs? Why were they surprised The day they finally realized? We're all the same: same blood Same bones, same rotten guts Crowns and shields, where are your holy rights? Revolution! Revolution! No preclusion Right conclusion My dear Jean-Jacques Francois-Marie

Holds you emperor the same crown Kings used to wear Headless bodies, soldiers everywhere Revolution Last illusion For a world that cannot change Revolution! Revolution! Last illusion Cold October snow Egalite Fraternite Then Liberte "Nevermore", said the crow Revolution! Revolution! Last illusion For a broken soul Egalite Fraternite Then Liberte Words and nothing more
