Madame Guillotine

[Boulton/Marsh]

Running through the streets

The silence is haunting you

You know they prepare for attack

Can't walk around, I got to beware

Keep in the dark, out of sight

Got to keep running, time's running out

Beware of the knife in your back

Victim of hate, no one believes

Who cares what is wrong or what is right

[Bridge]

Screaming vengeance, I want to be free

Murder or treason, what's it to be

[Chorus]

Stand and stare so silently

Death awaits so patiently

Priest approach, the rites are read

Wait and see, the blade will fall

Running like hell and into the night

Wait 'til the time is just right

People are screaming out for revenge

The price is a life for a life

Fighting and screaming, bodies lie bleeding

Fires burn into the night

Years of restraint begin to decay

It's the law of the knife

[Repeat bridge]

[Repeat chorus]

The tide of power has turned

Now you are screaming don't let me die

Silently you fall down to your knees

Scream that charges are lies

[Solo]

It's too late now, the angel of death hangs over you

Tears fill my eyes, you hear the blade slide

You're going to die
