Lyrics Building the Barricade - Claude-Michel Schönberg

STUDENTS
Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade

MARIUS
Let them come in their legions
And they will be met

ENJOLRAS
Have faith in yourselves
And don't be afraid

GRANTAIRE
Let's give em a screwing
That they'll never forget!

COMBEFERRE
This is where it begins!

COURFEYRAC
And if I should die in the fight to be free
Where the fighting is hardest
There will I be

FEUILLY
Let them come if they dare
We'll be there!

ARMY OFFICER(offstage, with a loud-bailer)
You at the barricade listen to this!
No one is coming to help you to fight
You're on your own
You have no friends
Give up your guns - or die!

ENJOLRAS
Damn their warnings, damn their lies
They will see the people rise!

STUDENTS
Damn their warnings, damn their lies
They will see the people rise!
