Upon These Stones (At the Barricade) (Students, Enjolras, Army Officer)
~ Song
Annotation
Where this ends and "Javert's Arrival" begins is a little unclear, with this portion of the exchange between the Army Officer and the Students (prior to Javert's actual arrival) sometimes contained in recordings named for this work and at other times for the latter:
Army Officer: (offstage)
You at the barricade listen to this!
No one is coming to help you to fight
You're on your own
You have no friends
Give up your guns - or die!
Enjolras:
Damn their warnings, damn their lies
They will see the people rise!
Students:
Damn their warnings, damn their lies
They will see the people rise!
