ABC Café/Red and Black - Claude-Michel Schönberg

[00:13]At Notre Dame the sections are prepared!
[00:15.25]At rue de Bac they're straining at the leash!
[00:17.50]Students, workers, everyone
[00:19.50]There's a river on the run
[00:21.25]Like the flowing of the tide
[00:22.25]Paris coming to our side!
[00:25]The time is near
[00:27.50]So near it's stirring the blood in their veins!
[00:31.50]And yet beware
[00:34]Don't let the wine go to your brains!
[00:39.50]For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
[00:42.50]With the men and the arms that we never can match
[00:45.50]It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies
[00:48.50]But the national guard will be harder to catch.
[00:51.50]We need a sign
[00:55.75]To rally the people
[00:57]To call them to arms
[00:59]And to bring them in line!
[01:01.50]Marius, you're late.
[01:03]What's wrong today?
[01:04.50]You look as if you've seen a ghost.
[01:06.50]Some wine and say what's going on!
[01:09.50]A ghost you say... a ghost maybe
[01:12]She was just like a ghost to me
[01:15.50]One minute there, and she was gone!
[01:20]I am agog!
[01:21.50]I am aghast!
[01:23]Is Marius in love at last?
[01:26]I've never heard him `ooh' and `aah'
[01:30]You talk of battles to be won
[01:33.75]And here he comes like Don Ju-an
[01:36]It's better than an o-per-a!
[01:40]Thank you,gentlemen!
[01:51]It is time for us all
[01:53]To decide who we are
[01:56]Do we fight for the right
[01:58]To a night at the opera now?
[02:00.50]Have you asked of yourselves
[02:02.50]What's the price you might pay?
[02:05]Is it simply a game
[02:07]For rich young boys to play?
[02:09]The color of the world
[02:11.50]Is changing day by day...
[02:15.50]Red - the blood of angry men!
[02:19]Black - the dark of ages past!
[02:22.25]Red - a world about to dawn!
[02:26]Black - the night that ends at last!
[02:32]Had you been there tonight
[02:33]You might know how it feels
[02:36.50]To be struck to the bone
[02:38]In a moment of breathless delight!
[02:41]Had you been there tonight
[02:42]You might also have known
[02:46.25]How the world may be changed
[02:48.50]In just one burst of light!
[02:50]And what was right seems wrong
[02:52.50]And what was wrong seems right!
[02:55.50]Red...
[02:56.50]I feel my soul on fire!
[02:59]Black...
[03:00]My world if she's not there!
[03:03]Red...
[03:04]The color of desire!
[03:06.50]Black...
[03:07.50]The color of despair!
[03:11]Marius, you're no longer a child
[03:13]I do not doubt you mean it well
[03:16]But now there is a higher call.
[03:20]Who cares about your lonely soul?
[03:22]We strive toward a larger goal
[03:25.75]Our little lives don't count at all!
[03:29]Red - the blood of angry men!
[03:33.50]Black - the dark of ages past!
[03:36.75]Red - a world about to dawn!
[03:40]Black - the night that ends at last!
[03:56]Well, Courfeyrac, do we have all the guns?
[03:59]Feuilly, Combeferre, our time is running short.
[04:01]Grantaire, put the bottle down!
[04:03]Do we have the guns we need?
[04:04]Give me brandy on my breath
[04:06]And I'll breathe them all to death!
[04:07]Listen everybody!
[04:09.50]General Lamarque is dead!
[04:14.50] Lamarque is dead!
[04:20]Lamarque! His death is the hour of fate.
[04:24.50]The people's man.
[04:27]His death is the sign we await!
[04:33]On his funeral day they will honor his name.
[04:35]With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes
[04:38]From their candles of grief we will kindle our flame
[04:40.50]On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricades rise!
[04:43.50]The time is near!
[04:45.50]Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer
[04:49]Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts
[04:52]But a jubilant shout
[04:53]They will come one and all
[04:57]They will come when we call!
