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
ย
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
Track down this murderer
He must be found
Hounded out by everyone
Met with hatred everywhere
No kind word from anyone
No compassion anywhere
Christine
Christine
Why?
Why?
Why?
Put your hand at the level of your eyes
Put your hand at the level of your eyes
Put 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 the ground
Too long he's preyed on us
But now we know the Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
Is here, deep down below
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera
Have you butchered 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
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
Free her
Do what you like
Only free her
Have you no pity?
Your lover makes a passionate plea
He's wrong, it's useless
I love her
Does that mean nothing?
I love her
Show some compassion
The world showed no compassion to me
Christine
Christine
Let me see her
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
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
Christine, forgive me
Please forgive me
I did it all for you and all for nothing!
You are alone in the world
All alone and a fool's friend
One by one our hopes and illusions shattered
Late for turning back
Too late for prayers
And this must be the end
Save you, who loves this man?
No more hope of crying for help
My life is over
No point in fighting
Either way you choose
He has to win
You cannot win
So do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave?
Why make her lie to you
To save me?
ย
The price which you must pay
I fought so hard to free you!
You've passed the point of no return
I let you deceive me
I gave my mind blindly
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
ย
Trapped up this murderer
He must be found
Take me, forget me, forget all of this
Who is this monster? What's his motive?
He's got to be found
Leave me alone, forget all you've seen
He's got to be stopped
Go now, don't let them find you
We beg your charity
We beg for mercy
Take the boat, leave me here, go now, don't wait
Don't give him up
He must be stopped
Just take her and go, before it's too late
Go!
ย
Go now!
Go now and leave me!
ย
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you
Christine, I love you
ย
Sinner, share with me
One love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me
ย
Each night, each morning
You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now, the music of the night
ย
