Apr\u00e8s la pluie, le beau temps.
\n Translation: After troubles, calm comes back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These streets have seen blood before
\nTerror too, and have survived
\nThe Commune, the Revolution, the Nazis and more
\nBuried its dead, moved on, remembered and thrived.<\/p>\n

The enemy now is not a state
\nOr a standing army or a rebel mob off men
\nBut a shadow that disappears to return anew
\nUnseen till too late, they attack again.<\/p>\n

Those who attack do so in the names of the wronged
\nBut wronged or not wronged they would attack still
\nFor the hate the West for who and what we are
\nThey seek to oppress the different, to rule, to kill.<\/p>\n

They call on Gods name, as his name they know
\nDeclare Him the greatest, as did Crusaders before them
\nSpill blood, taking His name in vain
\nWho on their deaths, shall judge and deny them.<\/p>\n

These streets have seen blood before
\nThough seldom in these times of peace
\nAfter the trouble, like the storm, the calm returns
\nIn time, these troubled times will cease.<\/p>\n
