Bahorel was
The first one to fall
Shield of the barricade
To protect them all.

Jehan - executed,
Blind from the light
No one was there
By his side when he cried.

Combeferre had
His heart torn in pieces
Pierced by liberty,
Equality, fraternity.

Feuilly was shot
By the brick wall he built
Carved on it was,
"Long live people's will."

Courfeyrac lost
His way through the war
The barricade was
His shelter no more.

Bossuet was never
A man of good luck
He bid his farewell
One last time and shrugged.

Joly could've had
Stayed back home alone
Instead, his last thought
Was with them he'd gone.

And Grantaire woke up
Sober from his wine
Looked for Enjolras
Hand in hand, he smiled.

The leader in red
Blue eyes burnt with fire
He held tight his flag
They stood still with pride.

...

Poor soul Marius
You fought by their sides
Eponine was lost
Saved you from gunfire.

Came next was Gavroche
Who was just a child
Never had they heard
The les amis' cries.

Poor soul Marius
Could never get home
Haunted by ghosts
Where have your friends gone?
