Who is this man
What sort of devil is he
To have caught me
in a trap
And choose to let me
go free
It was his hour at last
To put a seal on my fate
Wipe out the past
And wash me clean
off the slate
All it would take
Was a flick of his knife
Vengeance was his
And he gave me back
my life
Damned if I live
in the debt of a thief
Damned if I yield
at the end of the chase
I am the law and
the law is not mocked
I'll spit his pity right back
in his face
There is nothing
on earth that we share
It is either Valjean
or Javert
And my thoughts fly apart
Can this man be believed
Shall his sins be forgiven
Shall his crimes
be reprieved
And must I now
begin to doubt
Who never doubted
all those years
My heart is stone and
still ittrembles
The world I have
known is lost
in shadow
Is he from heaven
or from hell
And does he know
That granting me
my life today
This man has killed me
even soul
I am reaching but I fall
And the stars are
black and cold
As I stare into the void
Of a world that
cannot hold
I'll escape now from
that world
From the world of
Jean Valjean
There is nowhere
I can turn
There is no way to go on
