A mountainous pile high in the sky
Tall against the setting sun
That streaks red for you and I
After the long battle is done

Even from the towers of Notre Dame
You can see this wondrous sight
The winds will blow just the same
As they do any other night

But tonight I see a soft glow
Of a lantern burning bright
And the faces of those who know
Of another attack tonight

Oh feel the coldness in the air
And see where the wounded lay
The Barricade yes it is where
The revolutionist died today

The red flag of freedom high it soars
Above the mighty barricade
The barricade that we adore
And in the darkness fades.
