In 1804 when Napoleon
Upset Beethoven, turning power mad
Crowning himself emperor in Notre Dame
Once more we saw corruption, though some said
It was for the best after years of bad
Governance by the Revolutionaries
Beneficent dictatorship's a good
Thing if the leader only focuses
On the good of his people, but this was
Not so, despite the Code Napoleon
A better legal system than they'd had
He was a military man, bound to seize
Not just power but land with a loud cannon
Where few could stop him drench that land in blood
