Hark! Hark! the people bid you rise! Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary Behold their tears and hear their cries! Behold their tears and hear their cries! Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, With hireling hosts a ruffian band Affright and desolate the land While peace and liberty lie bleeding? To arms, to arms, ye brave! Th'avenging sword unsheathe! March on, march on, all hearts resolved On liberty or death. Oh liberty can man resign thee, Once having felt thy gen'rous flame? Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine the? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Too long the world has wept bewailing That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield; But freedom is our sword and shield And all their arts are unavailing. To arms, to arms, ye brave! Th'avenging sword unsheathe! March on, march on, all hearts resolved On liberty or death. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Written by Rouget de Lisle, a young officer in the French army stationed in Strasbourg in 1792. It was played at a patriotic banquet at Marseilles, and printed copies were given to the revolutionary forces then marching on Paris. They entered Paris singing this song, and to it they marched to the Tuileries on August 10th. Ironically, Rouget de Lisle was himself a royalist and refused to take the oath of allegiance to the new constitution. He was imprisoned and barely escaped the guillotine. @French @patriotic @war filename[ LAMARSEI DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Lady Mary, Lady Mary Sails, Lady Of Carlisle, Lady Of Pleasure, Laird O Cockpen, Laird O Linne, Laird O Logie, Laird Of The Dainty Doonby, Lakes Of Ponchartrain, Lambs On The Green Hills, Lament Of The Reservist, Lamkin, Lamoille River, Lancashire Lass, Land Of Libertie, Landlady Of France, Landladys Daughter, Landlords Daughter, Landlords Lullaby, Lani, Lanigans Ball, Lark In The Morning, Lass Amonst The Heather, Lass From The Low Country, Lass Of Loch Royale Lord Gregory, Lassie Gathering Nuts, Lassie Wi The Yellow Coatie, Last Bouquet, Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, Last Trip In The Fall, Lavender Cowboy, Lazarus, Lazy Lout, Leaboys Lassie, Leather Bottel, Leatherheaded Songsters, Leatherwing Bat, Leave Her Johnny, Leaving Liverpool, Leaving Of Liverpool New Version, Leaving On A Jet Plane, Leftright, Leg I Left Behind, Legion Of The Rearguard, Lemon Tree, Lesotho Anthem Text, Lesotho Native Anthem Text, Let Him Go Let Him Tarry, Let It Be, Let It Snow, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
