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 flick of his knife.
 Vengeance was his
 And he gave me back my life!

 Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
 Damned 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 [bad word] 

 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 shadow.
 Is he from heaven or from [bad word] 
 And does he know
 That granting me my life today
 This man has killed 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 the world
 From the world of Jean Valjean.
 There is nowhere I can turn
 There is no way to go on....

 (He throws himself into the swollen river)
