The First Attack

[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.

[Sentry]
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 going to get it too...

[Sentry]
They're getting ready to attack!

[Enjolras]
Take this and use it well
But if you shoot us in the back
You'll never live to tell.

[Student one]
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!

[Student two]
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

[Lesgles]
See how they run away!

[Grantaire]
By god we've won the day!

[Enjolras]
They will be back again
Make an attack again
(to valjean)
For your presence of mind
For the deed you have done
I will thank you m'sieur
When our battle is won.

[Valjean]
Give me no thanks m'sieur
There is something you can do.

[Enjolras]
If it is in my power.

[Valjean]
Give me the spy javert
Let me take care of him!

[Javert]
The law is inside out
The world is upside down

[Enjolras]
Do what you have to do
The man belongs to you.

The enemy may be regrouping. Hold yourself in readiness
Come my friends, back to your positions
The night is falling fast.
