RED AND BLACK
STUDENTS
At Notre Dame the sections are prepared!
At rue du Bac they're straining at the leash!
Students, workers, everyone,
There's a river on the run
Like the flowing of the tide
Paris coming to our side!
ENJOLRAS
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 mean 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
And to bring them in line.
STUDENTS
Marius, what's wrong with you today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost
Some wine, and say waht'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 have never heard him 'ooh' and 'aaah'
We 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 colour 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 tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there tonight
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!
Red - I feel my soul on fire!
Black - my world if she's not there!
Red - the colour of desire!
Black - the colour 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 towards a larger goal.
Our little lives don't count at 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!
