Paroles de Abc Cafe / Red And Black

The time is near!
So near it's stearing the blood in their veins
And yet beware!
Don't let the wine go to you brains
We need a sign!
To rallye the people
To call them to arms
To bring them in line!

Marius wake up!
What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost
Some wine and say what's going on!

A ghost you say? A ghost maybe
She was just like a ghost to me
One minute there, then she was gone!

I am agog!
I am aghast!
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never heard him 'ooh' and 'aah'
You talk of battles to be be won
And here he comes like Don Juan
It is better than an opera!
For colors of the world are changing day by day!

Red : The blood of angry men
Black : The dark of eagers pasts
Red : A world about to dawn
Black : The night that ends at last

Had you seen her today you might known how it feels
To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight
Had you been there today you might also have known
How the world may be changed in just one burst of light
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right

Red : I feel my soul on fire!
Black : My world when she's not there!
Red : The color of desire!
Black : The color of despair!

Marius you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you meen it well
But now ther is a higher cause!
Who cares about your lonely soul
We strive towards a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all!

Red : The blood of angry men
Black : The dark of eagers pasts
Red : A world about to dawn
Black : The night that ends at last

[Spoken]
Listen everybody!
General Lamarque is dead!

Lamarque!
His death is the hour of faith
The people's man
His death is the sign we all wait!

On his funeral day they will honor his name.
With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes
With their candles of grief we will kindle our flame
On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricade rise
The time is here!
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts
But a jubilant shout
They will come one and all
They will come when we call!
