Journey to the Guillotine
Lyrics: Viola

Little tin soldiers aligned in the snow
Little girl's army maligned with the foe
Little boys' toys preparing to march
Little doe's coiled assembling the arch

Little echo of the distant rumble
Little silence on the off-set tumbrel
Little whispers from the guillotine
Little vespers from the virgin queen

Little shadows and little cries
Little entrails and little sighs
Little enlightenment on this journey
Little sojourns on this gurney

Little temptation in a little rain
Little cascades of bewildering pain
Little trembles on this cart of souls
Little embers amidst hearts of coals

Little forgiveness and God fearing havens
Little escape from inevitable ravens
Little insight to crowds that surround
Little sunlight in deafening sound

Little peace and the torture commences
Little relief as we're robbed of our senses
Little children pelting their fruit
Little garrisons welting the mute

Little derangement as the barrow emerges
Little eruption as the audience surges
