terrence mann - javert's suicide lyrics

Loading...

[javert walks the deserted streets until he comes to a bridge over the river seine.]

[javert]
who is this man?
what sort of devil is he?
to have me caught 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 fl!ck of his knife
vengeance was his and he gave me back my life

d+mned if i’ll live in the debt of a thief
d+mned if i’ll 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

how can i now allow this man
to hold dominion over me?
this desperate man whom i have hunted
he gave me my life, he gave me freedom
i should have perished by his hand
it was his right
it was my right to die as well
instead i live, but live in h+ll
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 these years?
my heart is stone and still it trembles
the world i have known is lost in shadows
is he from heaven or from h+ll?
and does he know
that granting me my life today
this man has k!lled me even so?

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…

[javert throws himself into the swollen river.]
