Martin Guerre movie - I Will Make You Proud lyrics

<br>

(Pierre Guerre tries to leave, but Guillaume stops him)<br>

Guillaume<br>

I was born a poor man, just like each of you<br>

Born to sweat and suffer as the poor must do<br>

Working like a cart-horse, slaving in your field<br>

Till my back is breaking I will never yield<br>

Bruised but never beaten<br>

Cursed but never cowed<br>

In the call of duty I will make you proud<br>

Baptiste, I knew your father<br>

Albert, I knew yours too<br>

Men who stood for decency just the same as you<br>

Sons, do not betray them<br>

Daughters do not fail<br>

In the face of peril goodness shall prevail<br>

Stand up and be counted, rise above the crowd<br>

Say this in their memory, I will make you proud<br>

Look around, can't you see what the world has become?<br>

It is time we were cleansed of this Protestant scum!<br>

By the blood of the martyrs, we will take up the sword<br>

We will root out this cancer in the name of the Lord!<br>

Everywhere is chaos, everywhere is doubt<br>

Everywhere is heretics, the time has come to burn them out!<br>

In your hour of danger, vow as I have vowed<br>

Shout it from the rooftops<br>

I will make you proud<br>

Here I stand before you, bloody and unbowed<br>

By the sword of Jesus<br>

I will make you proud!!<br>

(he begins to stomp and pulls out his knife)<br>
