Wait! I denounce this man!
I and two more
Ernest Defarge and Doctor Manette
I don't denounce this man
This is a lie
It's here in your own words
It's here in black and white
Words that you can't take back
Words even you cannot fight
In the bastille, my husband found
This paper left in the wall
Written by you, Doctor Manette
This paper explains it all
How as a doctor in the country
Called on to aid a girl in need
Beaten and raped and left to bleed
Nothing the doctor would do would save her life
Nor her young brother who fell defending her
And the two noblemen who had done this crime
Don't you remember exactly who they were?
How you went that night
To the Evremondes
And you found a dreadful sight?
A young woman lay in a pool of blood
It was clear to you she had put up quite a fight
Her young brother lay a few feet away
Broken sabre by his side
He had tried in vain
To defend the girl
Armed with little more than pride
Save my sister, sir
She is badly hurt
Save my sister
Leave me be
She is gone, my son
To a better place
She's at peace
She's free
She had married for love
When this man with his wealth
Saw her beauty and vowed he would have her himself
But my sister was pure
And she wouldn't be used
And her husband protected her
And he refused
You know the law
A peasant has no rights
The master owns your breath
They took this man
They tied him to a cart
And drove him to his death
With her man out of sight
These two came for their prize
Took their turns like a game
Didn't care what I'd find
I was there, but too late
Out of sight, out of mind
Be still, my son
That's not the end, m'suier
I have another sister
Younger sister
They will never find
I've hidden her away
Far, far away from here
Far away from all their kind
Can I find this girl?
Can I help this girl?
No, m'siuer
God must help her now
Is he dead?
No
We need to know
You'll never breathe a word
Of what you've seen
Of anything you've heard
You must accept the fee we wish to pay
How else can we be certain
How else can we be sure you will obey?
I do not want your money
But you must m'siuer
I will not take your money
But you don't understand
How can you stand there, his blood on my hands?
How can you tell me that I should forget?
I will not rest 'til the world understands
What you have done here this day
This time you're going to pay
I promise you, Evremonde
This time it won't go away
Taken away and sent to the bastille
17 years he spent in the grave
17 years and where was the sister?
17 years and where was the sister?
I am the sister that boy hid away
That was my family the Evremondes killed
I've waited 25 years for this day
Doctor Manette may forget
Doctor Manette may forgive
But this one survivor will never let Evremonde live
All those years in the dark
All those years biding time
This was hidden away
'Til the moment was right
'Til the time came to pay
Out of sight
Out of mind
Your words, Doctor
For all that the Evremondes have made me suffer
I Alexander Manette denounce the family of Evremondes
Them and their descendants
To the last of their race
