[00:13.75]At Notre Dame the sections are prepared
[00:15.51]At rue de Bac they're straining at the leash
[00:18.37]Students, workers, everyone
[00:20.11]There's a river on the run
[00:21.06]Like the flowing of the tide
[00:22.88]Paris coming to our side
[00:25.59]The time is near
[00:29.27]So near it's stirring the blood in their veins
[00:34.60]And yet beware
[00:38.44]Don't let the wine go to your brains
[00:43.91]For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
[00:46.61]With the men and the arms that we never can match
[00:49.38]Oh it's easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies
[00:52.90]But the national guard will be harder to catch
[00:55.75]We need a sign to rally the people
[01:00.25]To call them to arms
[01:01.15]To bring them in line
[01:05.75]Marius, you're late
[01:06.68]What's wrong today?
[01:08.42]You look as if you've seen a ghost
[01:11.12]Some wine and say what's going on
[01:15.73]A ghost you say, a ghost maybe
[01:19.38]She was just like a ghost to me
[01:22.93]One minute there and she was gone
[01:29.30]I am agog
[01:31.12]I am aghast
[01:32.93]Is Marius in love at last?
[01:35.68]I have never heard him ooh and aah
[01:42.97]You talk of battles to be won
[01:46.55]But here he comes like Don Ju-an
[01:49.39]It's better than an opera
[02:07.43]It is time for all of us
[02:09.27]To decide who we are
[02:13.86]Do we fight for the right
[02:14.76]To a night at the opera now
[02:19.23]Have you asked of yourselves
[02:22.95]What's the price you might pay
[02:25.64]Is it simply a game
[02:27.40]For rich, young boys to play
[02:30.17]The colors of the world are changing
[02:34.77]Day by day
[02:37.41]Red the blood of angry men
[02:41.99]Black the dark of ages past
[02:46.55]Red a world about to dawn
[02:51.01]Black the night that ends at last
[02:58.33]Had you been there tonight
[03:00.21]You might know how it feels
[03:04.77]To be struck to the bone
[03:06.59]In a moment of breathless delight
[03:11.19]Had you been there tonight
[03:12.09]You might also have known
[03:17.42]How the world may be changed
[03:19.23]In just one burst of light
[03:21.18]And what was right seems wrong
[03:23.85]And what was wrong seems right
[03:28.34]Red I feel my soul on fire
[03:32.90]Black my world if she's not there
[03:37.49]Red the color of desire
[03:41.92]Black the color of despair
[03:49.28]Marius, you're no longer a child
[03:51.95]I do not doubt you mean it well
[03:54.62]But now there is a higher call
[03:58.31]Who cares about your lonely soul
[04:01.02]We strive toward a larger goal
[04:03.79]Our little lives don't count at all
[04:07.47]Red the blood of angry men
[04:11.95]Black the dark of ages past
[04:16.54]Red a world about to dawn
[04:21.01]Black the night that ends at last
