Hear the clamour of Paris filling the air See the distant reddish fire igniting the skies Now, ashes dance in the cold of the night See how centuries vanish forevermore When the world was lost in the night We turned our hearts to Notre Dame Now the sky is set on fire Your spire has fallen to the ground A witness of history, forsaken by your own god ♪ Hear the sound of my steps on your forecourt When I was young and danced to your bell's melodies I used to greet you each and every day In those hard times you were standing by my side When my heart was lost in the night I used to turn to Notre Dame Now the sky is set on fire Your spire has fallen to the ground Memories of centuries were swept away in a heartbeat ♪ Ave Maria Gratia plena O Maria Ora pro nobis- It sounds unreal for the non-believer I am To feel you in my heart while I deny your god But what was built upon the lives and faith of men Shan't be erased that way from the surface of the earth When my heart was lost in the night I used to turn to Notre Dame Now the sky is set on fire Your spire has fallen to the ground Hail Mary full of grace, you're still standing in our hearts When our hearts were lost in the night We used to turn to Notre Dame Now the sky is set on fire Your spire has fallen to the ground Hail Mary full of grace, you're still standing in our hearts
