Yeah, it's pretty brutal. The first verse and refrain of the French national anthem translated into English:

"Arise, children of the Fatherland Our day of glory has arrived Against us the bloody flag of tyranny is raised; the bloody flag is raised. Do you hear, in the countryside The roar of those ferocious soldiers? They’re coming right into your arms To cut the throats of your sons, your comrades!

To arms, citizens! Form your battalions Let’s march, let’s march That their impure blood Should water our fields."
