The Final Witness Lyrics

JUDGE:
Never have I heard such a pitiful case
The law demands dignity, never disgrace
I have heard all you've said, every lie, every grudge
On the word of one man there is no case to judge

USHER:
Please, your honour
If I may...
There's a man, won't go away
Travelled far and wants a word
Claims his story should be heard

JUDGE:
What's his name?

USHER:
He won't say

JUDGE:
Let him in...
Your name. State your name.

MARTIN:
My name is Guerre. Martin Guerre.

JUDGE:
Bertrande, you've listened to these men
We need the truth, the time has come

PIERRE:
I knew the truth, I knew my blood

GUILLAUME:
The truth is all she needs me

BERTRANDE (to Arnaud):
If you have lied to me...
Have you lied to me?
No, you would not lie

MADAME DE ROLS:
He's lied to us all, Bertrande

THE WHOLE VILLAGE:
We need the truth, we need it now

BERTRANDE:
The truth is not enough
The truth does not explain
The truth... what's the truth?

MADAME DE ROLS:
My little girl...

JUDGE:
Tell us Bertrande

THE WHOLE VILLAGE:
Tell us the truth...

ARNAUD:
I am Arnaud du Thil.
