[Intro]
[Verse]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Verse]
I heard the mob before our turn
The angry screams and b***d-lust hate
My youth and s*x they would not mourn
Another sow for Madame’s gate
[Chorus]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Verse]
In ’72 I cried my first
Soon laughter filled my chateau’d halls
Sweet silk and pearls my daily thirst
A trembling heart for windswept balls
[Chorus]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Verse]
At twenty-one my womanhood
Filled heart and head with prospects fair
Now eyes and ears see only b***d
And Death commanding living air
[Chorus]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Verse]
My sudden weeping quenches scorn
Of a thousand unfed gargoyles
Above me looms the heavy form
The blade to end my breathing royals
[Chorus]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Chorus]
Tumbril and terror new to me
And Paris too before this day
My last it seems in ‘93
In soiléd sackcloth loathed to pray
[Outro]
