[MALE CHORUS]
Vive la Commune De Paris
For the love of God
IN the name of freedom
For the crippled and the poor

[RINGMASTER]
The bells ring out the tambourine beats
The rise and fall of voices
The sound of marching feet

The King and Queen have only men
From Switzerland to defend the Tuileries
Remorseless as a rising tide
The san culottes prepare to die
Vive la Commune de Paris
