Building the Barricade lyrics

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
To the barricade!!

The men shout in various areas of the barricade

[ENJOLRAS, spoken]
I need a volunteer! Someone who can find out their plan and when they will attack

[JAVERT (disguised as a rebel)]
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days
Of my youth!

[PROUVAIRE]
See the people unite

[GRANTAIRE]
I pray you're right
Dogs will bark

[GAVROCHE]
Fleas will bite
[BOSSUET]
They will do what is right

[ENJOLRAS]
Red, the blood of angry men

[ENJOLRAS & MEN]
Black, the dark of ages past
Red, a world about to dawn
Black, the night that ends at last
