Lemarque his death is the hour of fate/ the people's man/ his death is the sign we await/ His funeral day they will honor his name with the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes/ …. They will come one and all /They will come when we call!
Oh you were so brave, pretty boy
So so brave
So so foolish
You thought they'd come
You thought they'd help
You were so full of fire, pretty boy
But it doesn't take much water to put one person out
(or even one café)
So so brave
So so foolish
You fought a losing battle
And died a hero's death
You'll always be remembered, pretty boy
But history is written by the victors
(You'll be remembered as the boy who died for nothing)
Javert tried to warn you didn't he, pretty boy?
He said all you would die
(Wet yourself with blood to be specific)
But you fought and died anyway
So so brave
So so foolish
Perhaps if you had listened to your drunk friend,
Maybe you would still be alive
(He loved you, pretty boy)
And now you're both dead
You would have been hailed a Revolutionary
Or perhaps even a hero
{But you would've had to win to be that one}
Now you're just a Martyr
So so brave
So so foolish

Clearly I don't own Les Mis. At the end of the movie I thought that the ABC Cafe was one of the saddest scenes of the movie.
