Alain Boublil - First Attack Lyrics

[VALJEAN, dressed as a soldier, climbs over the barricade.]

[JOLY]
Here comes a man in uniform
What brings you to this place?

[VALJEAN]
I come here as a volunteer

[JOLY]
That look upon your face

[PROUVAIRE]
You wear an army uniform

[VALJEAN]
That's why they let me through

[JOLY]
You've got some years behind you, sir

[VALJEAN]
There's much that I can do

[JOLY]
You see that prisoner over there?
[GRANTAIRE]
A volunteer like you!

[COMBEFERRE]
A spy who calls himself Javert

[GRANTAIRE]
He's gonna get it, too

[SENTRY #1]
They're getting ready to attack!

[ENJOLRAS gives the unarmed VALJEAN a gun.]

[ENJOLRAS]
Take this and use it well
But if you shoot us in the back
You'll never live to tell

[SENTRY #2, spoken]
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!

[SENTRY #1, spoken]
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
Fire!
[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, spoken]
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
This 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
