Liberty

(앨범: Ça Ira - 2005)

[Scene 5 "Liberty"]

[TROUBLEMAKER]
We want to get rid of the Guillotine
And abolish pain somehow
But to make a world free of tears
We build these scaffolds now

[OFFICER]
Come dry your tears and pray explain
How can we abolish pain?
If we don't build these scaffolds now
These instruments of injustice
These tools of execution

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
We've given to the Guillotine
More blood than you have ever seen
What end could justify these means?

[OFFICER]
We've given more of our blood

[MALE CHORUS]
We've given

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
We've given more of our blood

[MALE CHORUS]
We've given

[OFFICER]
We've given more of our blood

[MALE CHORUS]
More of our blood

[CHORUS]
We've given, we've given
More blood than we could turn to love

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & OFFICER]
Than we could ever hope to turn to

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
Love

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & OFFICER]
More blood, than we could
Ever hope could turn to love

[CHORUS]
We've given, we've given
More blood, than we could turn to love

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
Come angles of mercy
Come doves of peace
Shine a light on all these warring clubs and cliques

[OFFICER]
The jackal and hyena who prowl these city streets
Would turn in their own mother for a little extra meat

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
From the piles of dead the Republic comes to life
Her mutilated body reeling like a drunken fishwife
Gives birth to the future

[OFFICER]
Gives birth on the street

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST, OFFICER & CHORUS]
Impure and exultant she gives birth to the dream

[RINGMASTER & MARIE MARIANNE]
When the dream

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
When the dream

[RINGMASTER & MARIE MARIANNE]
Is understood

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
Is understood

[RINGMASTER, REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & MARIE MARIANNE]
That no man should live in chains
That the great and the small are equal after all
