First Attack Lyrics by Les Misérables: International Cast

Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording

0

[SENTRY #1, spoken]
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
[SENTRY #2, spoken]
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!
[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Fire!
[FEUILLY, spoken]
Sniper!
[VALJEAN shoots a sniper that is aiming for ENJOLRAS.]
[LESGLES]
See how they run away!
[GRANTAIRE]
By God, we've won the day!
[ENJOLRAS]
They will be back again
Make an attack again
[To VALJEAN.]
For your presence of mind
For the deed you have done
I will thank you, Monsieur
When our battle is won
[VALJEAN]
Give me no thanks, Monsieur
There's something you can do
[ENJOLRAS]
If it is in my power
[VALJEAN]
Give me the spy Javert
Let me take care of him!
[JAVERT]
The law is inside out
The world is upside down
[ENJOLRAS]
Do what you have to do
The man belongs to you
[To the others.]
[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
The enemy may be regrouping
Hold yourselves in readiness
Come on, my friends, back to your positions
[ENJOLRAS]
The night is falling fast
[VALJEAN]
We meet again
[JAVERT]
You've hungered for this all your life
Take your revenge
How right you should kill with a knife
[VALJEAN cuts JAVERT's bonds.]
[VALJEAN]
You talk too much
Your life is safe in my hands
[JAVERT]
Don't understand
[VALJEAN]
Get out of here
[JAVERT]
Valjean, take care
I'm warning you
[VALJEAN]
Clear out of here
[JAVERT]
Once a thief, forever a thief
What you want you always steal
You would trade your life for mine?
Yes, Valjean, you want a deal
Shoot me now for all I care!
If you let me go, beware
You'll still answer to Javert!
[VALJEAN]
You are wrong, and always have been wrong
I'm a man, no worse than any man
You are free, and there are no conditions
No bargains or petitions
There's nothing that I blame you for
You've done your duty, nothing more
If I come out of this alive, you'll find me
At number fifty-five Rue Plumet
No doubt our paths will cross again
[JAVERT leaves. VALJEAN fires his gun in the air.]
[ENJOLRAS]
Courfeyrac, you take the watch
They won't attack until it's light
Everybody stay awake
We must be ready for the fight
For the final fight
Let no one sleep tonight
