Les Misérables

etter å ha vokst opp med ein mamma som digga musikalen Les Misérables, så blir ein nødvendigvis litt miljøskada. Ho var med i kor som sang den, og ho såg den på video sikkert ein gang i veka, og eg blei med og såg den i London ein gang. Eg hadde neeesten glømt at den eksisterte, men forrige veke gjenoppdaga eg den sangen her, og fekk så masse gåsehud at det var heilt umenneskelig. difor:



There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from grace
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall
As Lucifer fell
The flame
The sword!

Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

And so it has been and so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!

Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!

GAVROCHE
That inspector thinks he's something
But it's me who runs this town!
And my theater never closes
And the curtain's never down
Trust Gavroche, have no fear
Don't you worry, auntie dear,
You can always find me here
