The Execution Of Louis Capet |
RINGMASTER In the spring of ninety-two The Austrians and the Prussians too Crossed the line The war had come The people went to see the King Reluctantly he let them in
RINGMASTER & CHORUS And over tea they said that He must choose one hat
RINGMASTER A crown in Koblenz with his friends Or if he chose to make amends He might adopt
CHORUS He might adopt
RINGMASTER & CHORUS Their scarlet bonnet
RINGMASTER Surprise, surprise, when left to choose Too late he chose "The Bonnet Rouge"

MARIE MARIANNE Adieu Louis for you it's over Too many carpenters and bookkeepers and gardeners Gave their ordinary lives to be free On the battlefields of the Tuileries
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST To be King is a sacred trust But you betrayed us Poor King Louis We must take your life Clean the slate, start anew Poor Louis, it's over for you
TROUBLEMAKER The time for grief is not yet here It’s to build a world without tears That we toll the funeral bell And shed our precious blood Poor Louis and your precious blood as well
CHILDREN'S CHORUS Poor King Louis, you'll soon be dead Poor King Louis, far from your bed
TROUBLEMAKER Far from your bed
CHILDREN'S CHORUS Life must always end to start anew
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Poor King Louis It's over for you!
QUEEN It's always the terror you can rely on To eat its way into your heart Like rust and there to spy on The blood, the blade, the speeches made That mingle in your very entrails
