Hundreds of years in the claw of the kings Monarchs and nobles aside An end to this all, at the tip of the blade The guillotine hungers for blood, vengeance! The guillotine hungers for blood 'Voici la Grande peur'! Reign of terror sweeps over the city streets To the new age of freedom for all Show no mercy, the overfed noble hearts Death or glory, here comes the great fear! Burn their homes, Of the gold stealing lords, the poverty breeding bastards To the gates of the luxury few, And make their nightmares come true, vengeance! The guillotine hungers for blood 'Voici la Grande peur'! Hundreds of years in the claw of the kings Monarchs and nobles aside An end to this all, at the tip of the blade The guillotine hungers for blood, vengeance! The guillotine hungers for blood 'Voici la Grande peur'!
