[00:01.960] t's you, Javert!
[00:03.189] I knew you wouldn't wait too long
[00:04.880] The faithful servant at his post once more!
[00:07.569] This man's done no wrong,
[00:09.260] And he needs a doctor's care.
[00:11.860]
[00:13.550] I warned you I would not give in
[00:16.500] I won't be swayed
[00:17.170] Another hour yet
[00:18.610] And then I'm yours
[00:20.300] And all our debts are paid.
[00:22.830]
[00:24.890] The man of mercy comes again
[00:27.210]
[00:27.840] And talks of justice
[00:29.600] Come, time is running short
[00:31.440] Look down, Javert
[00:34.509] He's standing in his grave
[00:37.679] Give way, Javert
[00:40.489] There is a life to save.
[00:43.149] I will be waiting
[00:44.909] 24601.
[00:49.609]
[01:01.689] Who is this man?
[01:02.559] What devil sort of is he?
[01:03.969] To have me caught in a trap
[01:05.160] And choose to let me go free?
[01:06.539] It was his hour at last
[01:07.859] To put a seal on my fate
[01:08.919]
[01:09.449] Wipe out the past
[01:10.449] And wash me clean off the slate!
[01:12.700] All it would take
[01:12.949] Was a flick of his knife
[01:14.639] Vengeance was his
[01:15.549] And he gave me back my life!
[01:18.600]
[01:20.390] Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
[01:21.479]
[01:22.460] Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase.
[01:23.960]
[01:24.619] I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
[01:26.249]
[01:27.179] I'll spit his right pity back in his face
[01:29.289] There is nothing on earth that we share
[01:31.410] It is either Valjean or Javert!
[01:34.339]
[01:45.720] How can I now allow this man
[01:49.109]
[01:50.479] To hold dominion over me?
[01:54.289]
[01:55.279] This desperate man whom I have hunted
[01:59.220] He gave me my life.
[02:01.719] He gave me freedom.
[02:04.390]
[02:04.809] I should have perished by his hand
[02:08.690]
[02:09.940] It was his right.
[02:13.520]
[02:14.330] It was my right to die as well
[02:18.800]
[02:18.960] Instead I live... but live in hell.
[02:24.200] And my thoughts fly apart
[02:27.829] Can this man be believed?
[02:30.650]
[02:31.829] Shall his sins be forgiven?
[02:35.710] Shall his crimes be reprieved?
[02:48.180]
[02:48.930] And must I now begin to doubt
[02:51.300]
[02:53.110] Who never doubted all these years?
[02:56.950]
[02:57.640] My heart is stone and still it trembles
[03:01.510] The world I have known is lost in shadow.
[03:05.990] Is he from heaven or from hell?
[03:08.720]
[03:10.970] And does he know
[03:14.940] That granting me my life today
[03:18.250]
[03:20.260] This man has killed me even so?
[03:25.180]
[03:27.750] I reaching, am but I fall
[03:32.430] And the stars are black and cold.
[03:35.630]
[03:36.370] As I stare into the void
[03:39.310]
[03:40.190] Of a world that cannot hold
[03:43.260]
[03:44.630] I'll escape now from the world
[03:48.190] From the world of Jean Valjean
[03:51.260]
[03:51.890] There is nowhere I can turn
[03:55.510] There is no way to go on.....
