Down once more to the dungeon

of my black despair...

Down we plunge to the

prison of my mind...

Down that path into

darkness deep as hell!

Why, you ask,

Was I bound and chained

In this cold and dismal place?

Not for any mortal sin,

But the wickedness of my abhorrent face!

pitchfork mob ⋔

Hounded out by everyone,

Met with hatred everywhere,

No kind words from anyone,

No compassion anywhere...

Christine...

Christine why?

Why?

Have you gorged yourself at last

In your lust for blood?

Am I now to be prey

to your lust for flesh?

That fate which condemns me

To wallow in blood

Has also denied me

The joys of the flesh.

This face, the infection

Which poisons our love...

This face which earned

A mother's fear and loathing.

A mask, my first

Unfeeling scrap of clothing.

Pity comes too late!

Turn around and face your fate!

An eternity of this

Before your eyes...

This haunted face

Holds no horror for me now.

It's in your soul

That the true distortion lies...

Wait!

I think, my dear,

We have a guest.

Raoul!

Sir! This is indeed

An unparalleled delight

I had rather hoped

That you would come.

And now, my wish comes true.

You have truly made my night!

Raoul

(Laughing)

Your lover makes a passionate plea...

Please, Raoul it's useless!

Raoul

The world showed no compassion to me!

Raoul

Be my guest, sir...

Monsieur, I bid you welcome.

Did you think that I would harm her?

Why should I make her pay

For the sins which are yours?!

Order your fine horses now!

Raise up your hand to

the level of your eyes!

Nothing can save you now,

E cept, perhaps, Christine...

Start a new life with me.

Buy his freedom with your love!

Refuse me, and you send

your lover to his death!

This is the choice,

This is the point of no return!

The tears I might have shed

for your dark fate,

grow cold and turn to tears of hate!

Raoul

Farewell, my fallen

idol and false friend.

PHANTOM (CHRISTINE)

Too late for turning back

(We had such hopes)

Too late for prayers and useless pity

(and now those hopes are shattered!)

Past all hope of cries for help.

No point in fighting,

For either way you choose

you cannot win.

So do you end your days with me,

Or do you send him to his grave?

Raoul

Past the point of no return

(Angel of Music)

The final threshold

(Who deserves this?)

His life is now the prize

(Why do you curse)

Which you must earn!

(Mercy...)

You've passed the point of no return!

(Angel of Music...)

You deceived me!

I gave my mind, blindly!

(whispered) Blindly...

(spoken) You try my patience...

Make your choice...

Pitiful creature of darkness,

What kind of life have you known?

God give me courage to show you,

You are not alone...

(Christine kisses Phantom )

(Phantom is speechless... ‍️)

Take her, forget me,

Forget all of this.

Leave me alone!

Forget all you've seen.

Go now don't let them find you!

Take the boat.

Swear to me, never to tell

The secret you know

of this angel in Hell.

Go!

Go now, and leave me!

Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Masquerade

Hide your face so the

world will never find you

Christine I love you

Say you'll share with me

one love, one lifetime

Raoul

Share each day with me

Each night, each morning

You alone can

make my song take flight!

It's over now

the music of the night!

(Congrats on making it to the end!)
