Night of Anguish lyrics

[ENJOLRAS]
She is the first to fall
The first of us to fall upon this barricade

[MARIUS]
Her name was Éponine
Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid

[COMBEFERRE]
We fight here in her name

[PROUVAIRE]
She will not die in vain

[LESGLES]
She will not be betrayed

[ÉPONINE's body is carried away. 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]
Approach and show 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, spoken]
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
