The Final Battle Lyrics

The Final Battle lyrics

Army Officer [from beyond the barricade]

 You at the barricade listen to this

 The people of Paris sleep in their beds

 You have no chance

 No chance at all

 Why throw your lives away?

 

 Enjolras

 Let us die facing our foes

 Make them bleed while we can

 

 Combeferre

 Make 'em pay through the nose

 

 Courfeyrac

 Make 'em pay for every man!

 

 Enjolras

 Let others rise

 To take our place

 Until the earth is free!

 [Amidst increasingly heavy gunfire, Marius is shot. Enjolras is killed at the
summit of the barricade. All at the barricade are killed, except Marius, who is
wounded and unconscious, and Valjean. Valjean discovers that Marius is still
alive and carries him down into the sewers to escape. Javert climbs over the
barricade looking for Valjean's body. Not finding it, he realizes that Valjean
must be in the sewers, so he goes off to where he must emerge.]
