| 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! |
| MOB |
| Track down this murderer! |
| He must be found! |
| PHANTOM |
| Hounded out by |
| everyone! |
| Met with hatred |
| everywhere! |
| No kind word from |
| anyone! |
| No compassion |
| anywhere! |
| Christine, Christine… |
| Why, why??? |
| 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! |
| MOB |
| 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 |
| is there, |
| deep down below… |
| 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… |
| Start a new life with me — |
| Buy his freedom with your love! |
| Refuse me, and you send your |
| lover to his death! |
| This is your 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… |
| RAOUL |
| Christine, forgive |
| me, please forgive me… |
| So, do you end |
| your days with me, |
| or do you send |
| him to his grave? |
| RAOUL |
| Why make her lie |
| to you, to save |
| me? |
| CHRISTINE |
| .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… |
| MOB |
| (some:) |
| Go now — go now and leave me! |
| Masquerade… |
| Paper facer 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 world |
| and I will follow you… |
| RAOUL |
| Share each day with me… |
| CHRISTINE |
| .each night… |
| BOTH |
| .each morning… |
| PHANTOM |
| You alone |
| can make my song take flight — |
| it’s over now, the music of the |
| night… |
