[00:11.46] Who is this man?
[00:12.88] What sort of devil is he
[00:14.24] To have me caught in a trap
[00:15.56] And choose to let me go free?
[00:16.83] It was his hour at last
[00:18.20] To put a seal on my fate
[00:19.33] Wipe out the past
[00:20.68] And wash me clean off the slate!
[00:22.15] All it would take
[00:23.36] Was a flick of his knife.
[00:24.84] Vengeance was his
[00:25.91] And he gave me back my life!
[00:30.60] Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
[00:32.38] Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase.
[00:35.20] I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
[00:37.82] I'll spit his pity right back in his face
[00:40.05] There is nothing on earth that we share
[00:42.60] It is either Valjean or Javert!
[00:46.78] How can I now allow this man
[01:02.85] To hold dominion over me?
[01:07.31] This desperate man whom I have hunted
[01:11.32] He gave me my life. He gave me freedom.
[01:16.49] I should have perished by his hand
[01:20.31] It was his right.
[01:25.14] It was my right to die as well
[01:29.89] Instead I live... but live in hell.
[01:34.24] And my thoughts fly apart
[01:38.22] Can this man be believed?
[01:42.20] Shall his sins be forgiven?
[01:46.42] Shall his crimes be reprieved?
[01:57.20] And must I now begin to doubt,
[02:01.53] Who never doubted all these years?
[02:05.76] My heart is stone and still it trembles
[02:09.60] The world I have known is lost in shadow.
[02:14.43] Is he from heaven or from hell?
[02:18.39] And does he know
[02:22.52] That granting me my life today
[02:27.71] This man has killed me even so?
[02:34.09] I am reaching, but I fall
[02:38.13] And the stars are black and cold
[02:42.42] As I stare into the void
[02:46.13] Of a world that cannot hold
[02:49.24] I'll escape now from the world
[02:52.69] From the world of Jean Valjean.
[02:56.19] There is nowhere I can turn
[02:59.29] There is no way to go on....
[03:11.87]
