Red and Black - A lot of People

Enjolras:

The time is near...

So near... it's stirring the blood in their veins!

And yet beware...

Don't let the wine go to your brains!

We need a sign

To rally the people

To call them to arms

To bring them in line!

Jean Provaire:

Marius, what's wrong today?

You look as if you've seen a ghost.

Grantaire:

Some wine and say what's going on!

Marius:

A ghost you say... a ghost maybe

She was just like a ghost to me

One minute there, and she was gone!

Grantaire:

I am agog!

I am aghast!

Is Marius in love at last?

I have never heard him 'ooh' and 'aah'

You talk of battles to be won

It's better than an o-per-a!

Enjolras:

It is time for us all

To decide who we are...

Do we fight for the right

To a night at the opera now?

Have you asked of yourselves

What's the price you might pay?

Is it simply a game

For rich a young boy to play?

For colors of the world

Is changing

Day by day...

Red - the blood of angry men!

Black - the dark of ages past!

Red - a world about to dawn!

Black - the night that ends at last!

Marius:

Had you been there tonight

You might know how it feels

To be struck to the bone

In a moment of breathless delight!

Had you been there tonight

You might also have known

How the world may be changed

In just one burst of light!

And what was right

Seems wrong

And what was wrong

Seems right...

Grantaire:

Red...

Marius:

I feel my soul on fire!

Grantaire:

Black...

Marius:

My world if she's not there...

Chorus:

Red...

Marius

The color of desire!

Chorus:

Black...

Marius:

The color of despair!

Enjolras

Marius, you're no longer a child

I do not doubt you mean it well

But now there is a higher call

Who cares about your lonely soul

We strive toward a larger goal

Our little lives don't count at all!

Enjolras and Chorus:

Red - the blood of angry men!

Black - the dark of ages past!

Red - a world about to dawn!

Black - the night that ends at last!
