letra de the burghers of calais - locktender
to the streets with the ropes around their necks. keys in hand, sacrifice, trudging on. a year has p-ssed and calais is lost. starvation, famine, capitulation, a faustian offer displayed: send forth six of their richest. adorn them in rags and nooses. their fate is undeniable. the rest will spare. with all the strength left that he could gather, their mayor, st-pierre, volunteers. five brave men step forward, with apprehension, to follow his lead
