Claude-Michel Schonberg - Javert's Arrival lyrics

rate me

(Javert climbs over the barricade)

JAVERT

Listen my friends

I have done as I said

I have been to their lines

I have counted each man

I will tell what I can

Better be warned

They have armies to spare

And the danger is real

We will need all our cunning

To bring them to heel.

ENJOLRAS

Have faith

If you know what their movements are

We'll spoil their game

There are ways that a people can fight

We shall overcome their power

JAVERT

I have overheard their plans

There will be no attack tonight

They intend to starve us out

Before they start a proper fight

Concentrate their force

Hit us from the right.
