Upon These Stones - At The Barricade Lyrics

[The barricade is now complete.] StudentsNow we pledge ourselves to hold this barricadeLet them come in their legionsAnd they will be metHave faith in yourselvesAnd don't be afraidLet's give 'em a screwingThat they'll never forget!This is where it begins!And if I should die in the fight to be freeWhere the fighting is hardest There will I beLet them come if they dareWe'll be there! Army Officer [Offstage]You at the barricade listen to thisNo one is coming to help you to fightYou're on your ownYou have no friendsGive up your guns - or die! EnjolrasDamn their warnings, damn their liesThey will see the people rise! StudentsDamn their warnings, damn their liesThey will see the people rise! [Javert climbs over the barricade.] JavertListen my friendsI have done as I saidI have been to their linesI have counted each manI will tell what I canBetter be warnedThey have armies to spareAnd the danger is realWe will need all our cunningTo bring them to heel. EnjolrasHave faithIf you know what their movements areWe'll spoil their gameThere are ways that a people can fightWe shall overcome their power JavertI have overheard their plansThere will be no attack tonightThey intend to starve us outBefore they start a proper fightConcentrate their forceHit us from the right.
