Stars

[Javert]

There, out in the darkness,
A fugitive running

Fallen from grace,
Fallen from grace.

God be my witness
I never shall yield

Till we come face to face,
Till we come face to face!

He knows his way in the dark,
But mine is the way of the Lord

And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward.

And if they fall,
As Lucifer fell,

The flame,
The sword!

Stars in your multitudes,
Scarce to be counted,

Filling the darkness
With order and light.

You are the sentinels,
Silent and sure,

Keeping watch in the night.
Keeping watch in the night.

You know your place in the skies
You hold your course and your aim

And each in your season
Returns and returns

And is always the same.
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

And so it has been, and so it is written
On the doorway to paradise,

That those who falter, And those who fall
Must pay the price.
Scarce to be counted,
Changing the chaos

To order and light You are the sentinels,
Silent and sure,

Keeping watch in the night.
Keeping watch in the night.
