[Javert walks the deserted streets until he comes to a bridge over the river Seine.]
2
Javert
3
Who is this man?
4
What sort of devil is he?
5
To have me caught in a trap
6
And choose to let me go free?
7
It was his hour at last
8
To put a seal on my fate
9
Wipe out the past
10
And watch me clean off the slate!
11
All it would take
12
Was a flick of his knife
13
Vengeance was his
14
And he gave me back my life!
15
Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
16
Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase.
17
I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
18
I'll spit his pity right back in his face
19
There is nothing on earth that we share
20
It is either Valjean or Javert!
21
How can I now allow this man
22
To hold dominion over me?
23
This desperate man whom I have hunted
24
He gave me my life, he gave me freedom.
25
I should have perished by his hand!
26
It was his right.
27
It was my right to die as well
28
Instead I live, but live in hell!
29
And my thoughts fly apart
30
Can this man be believed?
31
Shall his sins be forgiven?
32
Shall his crimes be reprieved?
33
And must I now begin to doubt
34
Who never doubted all these years?
35
My heart is stone and still it trembles
36
The world I have known is lost in shadow.
37
Is he from heaven or from hell?
38
And does he know
39
That granting me my life today
40
This man has killed me even so?
41
I am reaching, but I fall
42
And the stars are black and cold.
43
As I stare into the void
44
Of a world that cannot hold
45
I'll escape now from the world
46
From the world of Jean Valjean
47
There is nowhere I can turn
48
There is no way to go on.....
49
[He throws himself into the swollen river.]
