Lyrics Act 1: Scene 4: France in Disarray - Roger Waters
The
winger
of
eight-eight
and
nine
Was
aching
cold,
it
chilled
the
very
soul
They
came
from
the
country
in
twos
and
threes
A
trickle,
a
river,
a
torrent,
a
sea,
Driven
by
hunger,
driven
by
pain
Company...
Halt!
A
hundred
thousand
reached
the
barricade
Present...
Fire!
Three
hundred
dead,
shot
down
like
rats
Three
hundred
lives,
snuffed
out
like
that
Have
a
care
if
you
treat
your
people
like
vermin
You
could
end
up
with
bloodstained
ermine
But
soft
As
ever
in
the
ebb
and
flow
Sweet
reason,
deft
and
incorrupt
Adoring
of
the
human
kind
illuminates
man′s
plight
Should
be
embrace
The
brute
and
base
Tilt
blindly
at
the
carousel
Or
note,
at
least,
the
other
voice
And
entertain
the
choice
Between
the
darkness
and
the
light?
