Night of Anguish
[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
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]
