Marching On Versailles
Ad Infinitum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This was your final chance

A chance you didn’t take

Like the lightning we will fall on your golden world


This was your final dance

Your final reverence

Now on the horizon you can see our torches burning



No turning back, our army will attack

Your dynasty ends tonight



We are the army of silent cries

Marching on your denial

We are the justice for those who died

For the glory of Versailles



March!

The day has come

The unwanted are rising

March!

The day has come

And now the fates are changing

March!

The day has come

A new horizon shining

March!

The day has come

From your head the crown is falling



Hear the symphony

Of our liberty

Hundreds of voices resounding through the night



Pushed in the shadows

Away from your halo

We’ve been kept outside of your perfect paradise



We step into the light, of the moon tonight

History chose its side



March!

Today is the day my friends

March!

We’ll be free from our chains

March!

Have faith, justice we prevail

March!

Today, today we rewrite history



We are the army of silent cries

Marching on your your denial

We are the justice for those who died

For the glory of Versailles



March!

The day has come

The unwanted are rising

March!

The day has come

And now the fates are changing

March!

The day has come

A new horizon shining

March!

The day has come





From your head the crown is falling

People in plague masks singing about the French Revolution is probably the most 2020 music video of 2020.

@Statoil Bensin Tell me you don't know what you're talking about in the most long-winded way you can

Michele Laraia

Plague doctor, more about Venice. Poveglia Island, you know.

Vx Zarin

@Statoil Bensin а лучше с гримом на лицах? Посмотри к слову Пикник - в руках великана... Маски не сильно портят впечатление, это часть стиля.

Digital Mouse

Everyone’s talking about the singer, and rightly so she’s fantastic don’t get me wrong! The instrumentalists in the band have some serious chops too. I’m just listening to random songs that show up with ‘autoplay’ while at work. I had to rewind to actually watch the video too, then listen to it a few times.
Napalm is really building an impressive catalog of bands!

Mellissa is the composer as well produced by who else Sascha Paeith he does all Symphonic albums basically including Nightwish.

Jimmy Zarkis

well thats a given. If the music sucked behind her it would make her sound bad too. Guitar players are a dime a dozen. An attractive female singer that can scream....not so common.

Melissa selected them and is the founder of the band and left Rage of Light to do her own stuff. So naturally, she needed first rate musicians on her level.. She is the composer and songwriter. Oh, and she is a musician herself and is proficient on keyboards and guitar. Check out her solo acoustic stuff.
