English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the Broadway musical. This song is not used in all Takarazuka versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
The blade is sliding down (the blade)
Madame Guillotine
She hungers for blood
She hungers for blood
She hungers for blood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musumeyaku Solo:<\/strong>
I can\u2019t bear to see any more blood!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otokoyaku Solo:<\/strong>
When will the Terror end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musumeyaku Solo:<\/strong>
We killed the Aristos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otokoyaku Solo:<\/strong>
But our lives haven\u2019t improved<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otokoyaku Solo:<\/strong>
Instead of the Aristos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musumeyaku Solo:<\/strong>
Robespierre is our dictator (Dictator!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
Has Paris died?
The glory of the Revolution has vanished
Ssh! It\u2019s the sound
Of France being slain
Paris is the city of Death
Madame Guillotine has gone too far<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Dialogue Break]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robespierre:<\/strong>
What were you doing in London?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
\u201cWell\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robespierre:<\/strong>
You didn\u2019t even figure out the identity of the Pimpernel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
\u201cI have no excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robespierre:<\/strong>
My power is wavering
I must do something now or I am in danger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Dialogue Break]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
I can\u2019t bear to see any more blood!
When will the Terror end?
Our lives aren\u2019t getting better
Has Paris died?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ssh! It\u2019s the sound
Of France being slain
Paris is the city of Death
Madame Guillotine has gone too far<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin (over chorus):<\/strong>
Only the strong can survive
To be strong is to be just
In this deep darkness I sharpen my claws
I will swoop down on my prey like a falcon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
