Uneasy Lies the Head

歌詞

Liberte Egalite Fraternite Queeles belles idees La tyrannie du peuple He once fed the scaffold On revolution square But now the crowds cackle At his skull shaved bare At his shirt torn and bloody From the bullet in his jaw At his hands worn and muddy From years burying the law The reign of terror Will fade into lore With the king of errors Head on the floor Uneasy lies the head That wears the crown They called him "incorruptible" The prince of anarchy But all men grow tryannical At the reins of liberty The guillotine is power It's steel depicts rage Blood rains down in showers When democracy's a cage The reign of tower Will fade into lore With the king of errors Head on the floor Uneasy lies the head That wears the crown He tries to speak his final words But his mouth drips off its hinge The flesh, ravaged by the birds Makes even soldiers cringe On a plank his body's laid The wood dampened by his fear The lever's pulled, a falling blade And all the people cheered
