FALCON IN THE DIVE
**********************

CHAUVELIN
[00:05]Hunt for this man!
[00:06]Comb the city!
[00:07]Ev'ry street!
[00:08]Ev'ry grate!
[00:09]You put a guard at every gate!
[00:10]Drag him out!
[00:11]Shout the moment that you find him!
[00:14]Damn!

[00:15]Knock in the doors!
[00:16]Lock up the city!
[00:17]Track him down!
[00:18]Through this town!
[00:19]And be quick about it!
[00:20]Now!
[00:21]How the devil can I ever prevail when I'm only a man?
[00:24]I can never be duped by that scurrilous phantom again!

[00:33]I wasn't born to walk on water,
[00:35]I wasn't born to sack and slaughter,
[00:38]But on my soul,
[00:39]I wasn't born to stoop to scorn and knuckle under.

[00:43]A man can learn to steal some thunder,
[00:45]A man can learn to work some wonder,
[00:48]But when the gauntlet's down, it's time to rise and climb the sky.

[00:52]And soon the moon will smolder,
[00:55]And the winds will drive,
[00:58]Yes, a man grows older,
[01:00]But his soul remains alive.
[01:02]All those tremulous stars still glitter,
[01:05]I will survive!
[01:08]Let my heart grow colder,
[01:10]And as bitter as a falcon in the dive.

[01:19]There was a dream, a dying ember,
[01:21]There was a dream, I don't remember,
[01:24]But I will resurrect that dream,
[01:26]Though rivers stream, and hills grow steeper.
[01:29]For here in hell, where life gets cheaper,
[01:31]Oh, here in hell, the blood runs deeper.
[01:34]And when the final duel is near,
[01:36]I'll lift my spear and fly,
[01:38]Piercing into the sky, and higher!
[01:41]And the strong will thrive!
[01:44]Yes, the weak will cower,
[01:46]While the fittest will survive!
[01:48]If we wait for the darkest hour,
[01:52]Till we spring alive,
[01:54]Then with claws of fire,
[01:57]We devour like a falcon in the dive.
[02:02]
[02:09]These are the days!
[02:10]Yes!
[02:11]Days of glory!  Days of rage!
[02:12]And the dream ...
[02:13]And the dream of Paris preys on my bones,
[02:16]Gnawing night and day, and ...
[02:17]Clawing through my brain, and ...
[02:18]No!  Never kneel!
[02:19]Never bend!
[02:20]Rend him to bits!  Bite!
[02:22]For the beauty of the fight!
[02:25]I'm not a man to ...
[02:26]... hunger for blood, but the spirit can cry,
[02:28]To be younger and fiercer and fly,
[02:30]Piercing into the sky, and higher!
[02:33]And the strong will thrive!
[02:36]Yes, the weak will cower,
[02:39]While the fittest will survive!
[02:41]If we wait for the darkest hour,
[02:44]Till we spring alive,
[02:47]Then with claws of fire,
[02:50]We devour like a falcon in ...
[02:57]... the dive!
