The Liberty Tree Lyrics

	作词 : Traditional
	It was the year of ’93
	The French did plant an olive tree
	The symbol of great liberty
	And the people danced around it
	O wasn’t I telling you,
	The French declared courageously
	That Equality, Freedom and Fraternity
	Would be the cry of every nation
	In ’94 a new campaign
	The tools of darkness did maintain
	Gall’s brave sons they did form a league
	And their foes they were dumb-founded
	They gave to Flanders liberty
	And all its people they set free
	The Dutch and Austrians home did flee
	And the Dukes they were confounded
	Behold may all of human-kind
	Emancipated with the French combine
	May laurels green all on them shine
	And their sons and daughters long wear them
	May every tyrant shake with dread
	And tremble for their guilty head
	May the Fleur-de-Lis in dust be laid
	And they no longer wear them
	For Church and State in close embrace
	Is the burden of the Human Race
	And the people tell you to your face
	That you will long repent it
	For Kings in power and preaching drones
	Are the cause of all your heavy groans
	Down from your pulpits, down from your thrones
	You will tumble unlamented.
	O wasn’t I telling you,
	The French declared courageously
	That Equality, Freedom and Fraternity
	Would be the cry of every nation
