Ubisoft - Assa**in's Creed Unity Presents: Rob Zombie's French Revolution lyrics

[Narrator/Executioner: Feodore Atkine] A desperate people no nothing of mercy For years we the people have suffered the cruelty of men too fit to starve Too rested to care But no more We have endured years of war and failed military campaigns, a play for power By kings who cared more for their legacy than their people With a nation deeply in debt the nobility carried on with their lavish lifestyles Ignoring our struggles and levying taxes on us to show their load for La France We starved in the streets Tossed aside like rats No longer would we be left to die We formed a national a**embly for the third estate Our first step in the fight for independence Yet we could have never known the dangers that lie waiting The national a**embly vowed for life We were willing to do what was needed violently if necessary We surged, unstoppable The taste of freedom and liberty fell on each of our lips When Le Bastille fell we grew hungrier Not for bread or for grain but for justice Even his highness wasn't safe from our reach For too long did he dismiss our threats Let him try to ignore us now After ordering the d**h of the king One man thirsted for control He claimed to represent the people against the monarchy But was far more dangerous than any king Maximilian Robespierre The slightest suspicion of counter-revolution was met with d**h Mere rumors and speculation many of us meet our end Families torn apart by Robespierre's reign A reign of terror Hundreds of thousands dead Streets run red with blood But the reign of terror would not last Robespierre knew he was to meet the end that he put on so many While fighting his arrest he tried to make his escape But he was unsuccessful A bullet to the jaw to remind him of his failure A desperate people know nothing of mercy (Something in French) This is the history you know Behind the bloodshed and ??? a different secret revolution awaited It's story burning to be told
