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! SongtexteIt is time for us all to decide who we are Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now? Have you asked of yourselves what's the price you might pay? Is this simply a game for a rich young boy to play? 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! Aus Songtexte Mania
