Original French lyrics by Alain Boublil
Original English lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer
There,
Out in a Blade ship,
A murderer's hiding
To no avail,
To no avail.
Hear me, his victims:
I never shall yield
Till we come tail to tail,
Till we come tail to tail.
His power's greater than mine,
But I am fighting for peace.
One who means well will always be helped by
Whoever he sees.
But evil deeds, words, and even thoughts
Will have to cease!
Stars,
Planets ev'rywhere,
Innocent species,
Sen-ti-ent creatures,
You all have your rights.
That ev'ry single one's
Granted to you
Is the goal of our fight,
Is the goal of our fight.
He has power over you,
And one must use power well.
Even the most evil ones of this world have
Their duty to help.
And if they fail, for they choose to fail,
They'll hurt themselves!
And so it must be, and so will be given
A punishment for ev'ry vice!
For those who torture and those who kill
Must pay the price!
If I could kill him,
Peace could still, perhaps,
Help heal all our scars.
I will never rest
Till then, this I swear,
This I swear by the stars!
