letra de oh, guillotine! - article 15

Loading...

the exalted arrive at the ball
on chariots of gold, upon the wings of the gods
their radiance lights up the halls
diamonds and jewels dressed in skins of the thralls
orchestras line up arranged
celebrations of wealth and the song of the day
wagers of blood would astound
privileged the few, the rest worship the crown

the party began then to play
the beautiful people swaggered and swayed
indulged in thе finest of ways
hors d’oeuvres and finе wines and fancy champagnes
when entered a madam so fair
her flair and her charm lit up the air
while outside of the palace estates
a terrible force soon began to shake

isolated are the rich as disparity grows
debutantes in their decadence dance in their robes
twirling and spinning as the cup overflows
they won’t even know when the knife’s at their throat

oh liberty…
….or guillotine!
they dance to an opulent tune
and toasted and cheered to the health of the few
a cadre of tyrant tycoons
some make the laws, the rest simply consume
but as the party reached fanciful heights
the ramshackle slums burned all through the night
starving and desperate for change
waves of plebeian rage crashes against the gates

isolated are the rich as disparity grows
debutantes in their decadence dance in their robes
twirling and spinning as the cup overflows
they won’t even know when the masses revolt

oh liberty…
….or guillotine!

and the guards at the palace were k!lled right on site
and the jackboot police ran away terrified
and the armies of war marched to the fight
but the people fought back with all of their might

they stood with their fists clenched, held to the sky
and the fires of rage ravaged the blight
and the beast that forever was kept in a cage
broke through her chains and devoured her prey
oh liberty…
….or guillotine!
