A country in turmoil
Abused by aristocracy
Enduring war
And burdened by the bourgeoisie
Rise of the Third Estate
Ascended to power
Voice of the lower class
Monarchy to overpower
End of the line
Public execution
Flash of the guillotine
Reign of Terror has begun
A city consumed by chaos
Public insurrection
They stormed the Bastille
With widespread disaffection
Violence towards nobility
Civil unrest
The end of feudalism
Revenge of the oppressed
End of the line
Public execution
Flash of the guillotine
Reign of Terror has begun
Revolts across the country
Beheading of the king
Thousands would soon follow
In the wake of the uprising
Erected tribunals
To please the growing masses
Extremist opposition
To long standing upper classes
End of the line
Public execution
Flash of the guillotine
Reign of Terror has now won
