The Final Battle

Lyrics

[ARMY OFFICER, with loud-hailer as before] 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 them pay through the nose [COURFEYRAC] Make them pay for every man [ENJOLRAS] Let others rise to take our place Until the earth is free! [The final battle commences. All on the barricade are killed except VALJEAN and MARIUS, who is wounded and unconscious. VALJEAN discovers that MARIUS is still alive and carries him down a manhole into the sewers.]
