Happy Bastille Day

[Regit]

I know that Storm2k is viewed worldwide so I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish anyone in France or originally from France a Happy Bastille Day.

Bastille day is the ultimate party. I have been lucky enough to be in France for a few of them and as you would expect fromthe French...the wine starts flowing early and never really stops.

I love that song Bastille Day by Rush (Caress of Steel) ... great tune!

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys
