And when they went to the queen to tell her that the peasants have no bread
Do you know what she said
Let them eat cake
Echoes of a crumbling empire all around
This is where I lose my crown
Where the monarchies come crashing down
The Bastille has been stormed
I already know what's coming and what's next
I know what lays ahead and it's time to face the music
I'm already dead
Are you picking up what I'm putting down
Oh, I can't you hear you now
Under the guillotine, screams echo loud
The shadows no longer hide their discontent
Oh, time is running out
You can't run or hide
You must stand before the crowd
Don't tremble, don't break
Take it with grace and poise
You're standing trial now
The world is against you
Your allies turn their backs
But Marie Antoinette, don't worry
For you've always known that the world is cruel
You chose to defy it
And now you'll be remembered for this
