They came like thieves in the night
carrying their tools of demise
Invaders powered by broken ideology,
they arrived at your doorstep
Scheming in the shadows
as they fastened suicide vests,
their assault failed before the first bombs exploded
Each cacophonous blast echoed in the hearts of us all
As shrapnel filled lovely spaces and laid claim to our brothers
the world united, lighting up the night
blue, white, and red
Stand tall as each nation waves your flag
“March on, march on, all hearts resolved”
We send prayers and promises
for today, we are one
Pour toujours dans nos coeurs, nous sommes à vos côtés
