Abc Cafe Lyrics - Les Miserables Live - Les Miserables

COMBEFERRE 

At Notre Dame the sections are prepared! 

 

FEUILLY 

At rue de Bac they're straining at the leash! 

 

COURFEYRAC 

Students, workers, everyone 

There's a river on the run 

Like the flowing of the tide 

Paris coming to our side! 

 

ENJORAS 

The time is near 

So near it's stirring the blood in their veins! 

And yet beware 

Don't let the wine go to your brains! 

For the army we fight is a dangerous foe 

With the men and the arms that we never can match 

It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies 

But the national guard will be harder to catch. 

We need a sign 

To rally the people 

To call them to arms 

To bring them in line! 

 

(Marius enters) 

 

Marius, you're late. 

 

JOLY 

And what's wrong today? 

You look as if you've seen a ghost. 

 

GRANTAIRE 

Some wine and say what's going on! 

 

MARIUS 

A ghost you say... a ghost maybe 

She was just like a ghost to me 

One minute there, then she was gone! 

 

GRANTAIRE 

I am agog! 

I am aghast! 

Is Marius in love at last? 

I've never heard him `ooh' and `aah' 

You talk of battles to be won 

And here he comes like Don Ju-an 

It's better than an o-per-a! 

 

ENJOLRAS 

It is time for us all 

To decide who we are 

Do we fight for the right 

To a night at the opera now? 

Have you asked of yourselves 

What's the price you might pay? 

Is it simply a game 

For rich young boys to play? 

The color of the world 

Is changing day by day... 

 

Red - the blood of angry men! 

Black - the dark of ages past! 

Red - a world about to dawn! 

Black - the night that ends at last! 

 

MARIUS 

Had you been there today 

You might know how it feels 

To be struck to the bone 

In a moment of breathless delight! 

Had you been there today 

You might also have known 

How the world may be changed 

In just one burst of light! 

And what was right seems wrong 

And what was wrong seems right! 

 

GRANTAIRE 

Red... 

 

MARIUS 

I feel my soul on fire! 

 

GRANTAIRE 

Black... 

 

MARIUS 

My world if she's not there! 

 

ALL 

Red... 

 

MARIUS 

The color of desire! 

 

ALL 

Black... 

 

MARIUS 

The color of despair! 

 

ENJOLRAS 

Marius, you're no longer a child 

I do not doubt you mean it well 

But now there is a higher call. 

Who cares about your lonely soul? 

We strive toward a larger goal 

Our little lives don't count at all! 

 

ALL 

Red - the blood of angry men! 

Black - the dark of ages past! 

Red - a world about to dawn! 

Black - the night that ends at last! 

 

ENJOLRAS 

Well, Courfeyrac, do we have all the guns? 

Feuilly, Combeferre, our time is running short. 

Grantaire, put the bottle down! 

Do we have the guns we need? 

 

GRANTAIRE 

Give me brandy on my breath 

And I'll breathe them all to death! 

 

COURFEYRAC 

In St. Antoine they're with us to a man! 

 

COMBEFERRE 

In Notre Dame they're tearing up the stones! 

 

FEUILLY 

Twenty rifles good as new! 

 

(Gavroche rushes in shouting) 

 

GAVROCHE 

Listen! 

 

JOLY 

Twenty rounds for every man! 

 

GAVROCHE 

Listen to me! 

 

JEAN PROUVAIRE 

Double that in Port St. Cloud! 

 

GAVROCHE 

Listen everybody! 

 

LESGLES 

Seven guns in St. Martin! 

 

GAVROCHE 

General Lamarque is dead! 

 

ENJOLRAS 

Lamarque is dead. 

Lamarque! His death is the hour of fate. 

The people's man. 

His death is the sign we await! 

 

On his funeral day they will honor his name. 

Light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes 

In the candles of weak we will kindle our flame 

To the tune of our march shall our barricade rise. 

The time is here! 

Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer 

Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts 

With jubilant shout 

They will come one and all 

They will come when we call!
