Marching On Versailles Lyrics – Ad Infinitum
Marching On Versailles Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Melissa Bonny]
This was your final chance
A chance you didn't take
Like the lightning we will fall on your golden wealth
This was your final dance
Your final reverence
Now on the horizon you can see our torches burning
No turning back, our army will attack
Your dynasty ends tonight
[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles
[Post-Chorus: Melissa Bonny]
March!
The day has come
The unwanted are rising
March!
The day has come
And now the fates are changing
March!
The day has come
A new horizon shining
March!
The day has come
From your head the crown's falling
[Verse 2: Melissa Bonny]
Hear the symphony
Of our liberty
Hundreds of voices
Resounding through the night
Pushed in the shadows
Away from your halo
We've been kept outside of your perfect paradise
We step into the light, of the moon tonight
History chose its side
[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles
[Bridge: Melissa Bonny]
March!
Today is the day my friends
March!
We'll be free from our chains
March!
Have faith, justice will prevail
March!
Today, today we rewrite history
[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles
[Post-Chorus: Melissa Bonny]
March!
The day has come
The unwanted are rising
March!
The day has come
And now the fates are changing
March!
The day has come
A new horizon shining
March!
The day has come
From your head the crown is falling
