Light the torches and let it begin
In this battle only good can win
State your name and shout it loud
Your words will have you kneeling on the ground
And the last thing that you will see
Is the nightmare that has brought you to the guillotine

Saddle the horses, tonight we ride
There's no chance of making it alive
Robespierre, is at your door
His knocking that you can't ignore
Don't try to ignore it

Guillotine, guillotine
The breaking wheel is long since seen
Guillotine, guillotine
Now the punishment is quick and clean
Guillotine, guillotine
The madame, she calls your name
Guillotine, guillotine
The national razor has the final say

You better watch out now
The terror's coming down
And there'll be hell to pay
There's no getaway
