Song of Jean Moulin Lyrics

Flame of the Resistance

[Verse 1]
Small shadows move through heavy rain
The railway tracks hum low
France breathes behind a frozen pane
Where quiet dangers grow
Unseen spirits in the night
Watching from the cellar light

[Pre-Chorus]
Under the gray iron sky
Waiting for the morning signal
Duty calls we must defy
Waiting for the sun to rise

[Chorus]
Jean Moulin
Jean Moulin
Light the fire across the plain
End the sorrow end the pain
Unite the brave unite the small
A single name to lead them all
Leader of the hidden heart
Bringing every ghost together
Unity from Every part

[Verse 2]
Codes and wires and sudden sound
He carried courage in his sleeve
Silence built on solid ground
To give the nation room to breathe
Across the sea a General calls
Strength before the shadow falls

[Pre-Chorus]
Under the gray iron sky
Waiting for the morning signal
Duty calls we must defy
Waiting for the sun to rise

[Chorus]
Jean Moulin
Jean Moulin
Light the fire across the plain
End the sorrow end the pain
Unite the brave unite the small
A single name to lead them all
Leader of the hidden heart
Bringing every ghost together
Unity from Every part

[Bridge]
Sacrifice is made in cold rooms
Recognition never found
Bravery in hidden tombs
Freedom from the frozen ground

[Chorus]
Jean Moulin
Jean Moulin
Light the fire across the plain
End the sorrow end the pain
Unite the brave unite the small
A single name to lead them all
Leader of the hidden heart
Bringing every ghost together
Unity from Every part
