[PHANTOM]
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!
Hounded out by everyone!
Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone!
No compassion anywhere!
Christine, Christine ...
Why, why...?
[MADAME GIRY]
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
[RAOUL]
... at the level of your eyes...
[MOB]
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Track down this murderer, he must be found!
Track down this murderer, he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
Too long he's preyed on us, but now we know
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is here
Deep down inside!
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera...
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera...
[CHRISTINE]
Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
[PHANTOM]
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!
[CHRISTINE]
This haunted face holds no horror for me now
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies
[PHANTOM]
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
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]
Free her!
Do what you like, only free her!
Have you no pity?
[PHANTOM]
Your lover makes a passionate plea!
[CHRISTINE]
Please Raoul, it's useless!
[RAOUL]
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion...
[PHANTOM]
The world showed no compassion to me!
[RAOUL]
Christine, Christine
Let me see her...
[PHANTOM]
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—except perhaps Christine...
mid-air]
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now—except 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!
[CHRISTINE]
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate
Grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!
[CHRISTINE]
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend
One by one, all my delusions shattered!
Angel of Music...
Who deserves this?
When will you see reason?
Angel of Music, you deceived me
I gave my mind blindly
[PHANTOM]
You try my patience—make your choice!
[CHRISTINE]
Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you
You are not alone
[PHANTOM]
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you
Christine, I love you...
[CHRISTINE]
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
[RAOUL]
Share each day with me
[CHRISTINE]
Each night
[RAOUL/CHRISTINE]
Each morning...
[PHANTOM]
You alone can make my song take flight—
It's over now, the music of the night!
