This day in music history.

July 14, 1789, French Revolution begins with the fall of Bastille.
Bastille Days by RUSH
Theres no bread, let them eat cake
Theres no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to bastille day
la guillotine will claim
Her bloody prize
free the dungeons of the innocent
the king
Will kneel,
and let his kingdom rise
Blood
stained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by
And were marching to bastille day
la guillotine will claim
Her bloody prize
sing, o choirs of cacophony
the king has
Kneeled, to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast
For they marched up to bastille day
la guillotine -- claimed
Her bloody prize
hear the echoes of the centuries
power isn't
All that money buys
