Javert's Suicide: Soliloquy

[00:10.80] Who is this man?
[00:12.64] What sort of devil is he?
[00:13.50] To have me caught in a trap
[00:14.47] And choose to let me go free?
[00:15.36] It was his hour at last
[00:17.17] To put a seal on my fate,
[00:18.07] Wipe out the past
[00:18.94] And wash me clean off the slate
[00:20.80] All it would take was a flick of his knife,
[00:23.53] Vengeance was his and he gave me back my life!
[00:28.00] Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief
[00:30.72] Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase
[00:33.43] I am the law and the law is not mocked
[00:35.24] I'll spit his pity right back in his face
[00:37.94] There is nothing on Earth that we share!
[00:39.71] It is either Valjean or Javert!
[00:54.26] How can I now allow this man
[00:59.68] To hold dominion over me?
[01:05.06] This desperate man that I have hunted
[01:09.59] He gave me my life.
[01:12.37] He gave me freedom.
[01:15.05] I should have perished by his hand
[01:19.58] It was his right.
[01:23.14] It was my right to die as well,
[01:28.52] Instead I live, but live in hell
[01:33.92] And my thoughts fly apart,
[01:37.58] Can this man be believed?
[01:42.17] Shall his sins be forgiven?
[01:46.64] Shall his crimes be reprieved...?
[01:56.56] And must I now begin to doubt,
[02:01.05] Who never doubted all these years?
[02:06.44] My heart is stone, and still it trembles.
[02:10.10] The world I have known is lost in shadow.
[02:14.66] Is he from heaven or from hell?
[02:20.01] And does he know,
[02:24.57] That granting me my life today,
[02:29.03] This man has killed me even so.
[02:34.48] I am reaching, but I fall.
[02:38.11] And the stars are black and cold.
[02:42.64] As I stare into the void,
[02:48.02] Of a world that cannot hold.
[02:52.51] I'll escape now, from that world.
[02:56.16] From the world of Jean Valjean.
[02:59.76] There is no where I can turn.
[03:03.45] There is no way to go on...
