Down Once More .../Track Down This Murderer ... |
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… |
