Dawn breaks over Paris streets
As whispers turn to battle beats
Royal troops surround the gates
While hunger fuels our burning hate
Thirty thousand muskets strong
But powder's locked where we belong
Behind those walls of stone and steel
Today the crown's grip we'll unseal
Storm the walls of tyranny
Let the flames of change run free
Seven gates will fall today
As old chains melt away
Watch the fortress burning bright
Freedom's torch in Paris night
Rise up now and hear the call
Watch the ancient prison fall
De Launay holds the powder stores
Two hundred fifty barrels more
From tower tops the cannons gleam
But we'll destroy the old regime
Through the outer court we pour
Blood stains every iron door
French Guard joins our swelling tide
No mercy left for those inside
Storm the walls of tyranny
Let the flames of change run free
Seven gates will fall today
As old chains melt away
Watch the fortress burning bright
Freedom's torch in Paris night
Rise up now and hear the call
Watch the ancient prison fall
Three hours of thunder
Stone walls torn asunder
Governor's last command
Dies in blood-soaked sand
Hear the drawbridge falling
History is calling
Freedom's price we pay
On this July day
Seven prisoners we find
Ancient walls left far behind
Not the number, but the deed
Plants revolution's burning seed
Governor's head upon a pike
Warning all what freedom's like
Paris streets run red with rage
As we turn to history's page
Storm the walls of tyranny
Let the flames of change run free
Seven gates will fall today
As old chains melt away
Watch the fortress burning bright
