lyrics

A hapless young Parisian
By the Quay de Louvre came up from the Seine
She lay displayed with those who died
Never to be claimed or identified
Along with the priests and the necrophiles
Amongst the slain stood a man beguiled
This was a face that was meant to last
And so he rendered the girl in the wax and the plastercast

It is the death mask of the unknown lady of the Seine

"I will always be preserved
I will be forever smiling
Through my death I will bring life
And breathe again
Breathe forever more"

A million faces reproduced
And now her visage always smiles at you
And all of the German girls began
To imitate the charms of their lady of the Seine
A toymaker Norwegian
Said "I will make her breathe again"
La Inconnue de la Seine
"A million lips will resuscitate my Anne"

It is the death mask of the unknown lady of the Seine

"I will always be preserved
I will be forever smiling
Through my death I will bring life
And breathe again
Breathe forever more"
