The year 1789's the year
That's remembered for historic events
There certainly was something in the air
Back then in revolutionary France
The English had already tried these things
But felt they'd gone too far and then backtracked
The French upheavel, more like the Soviets
Sought a brave new world, old order hijacked
And ground to dust to the sound of heads cracked
Centuries of oppression breeding fear
Among the oppressors of violence
Calendars restarted, clocks once more ticked
Then blood-red dawns fade into light more clear
If greyer, where we once more start the dance
Fri 29 July
