| RAOUL: Miss Giry! |
| He’s not Mephistopheles you know. |
| When it comes down to it
|
| he’s just another circus freak. |
| I’m not afraid of him. |
| …No, it can’t be…
|
| PHANTOM: Not afraid of me, you say?
|
| RAOUL: Stay back or I’ll kill you, I promise you.
|
| PHANTOM: Insolent boy! |
| You think you own more of her soul than I do?
|
| RAOUL: She is my wife. |
| Your music may speak to her, but her heart will always
|
| follow me.
|
| PHANTOM: You think so? |
| You really think so? |
| Follow you, with all your… charms?
|
| Look at you, deep in dept
|
| Stinking drunk, pitiful
|
| Shall we two make a bet?
|
| Devil take the hindmost.
|
| RAOUL: Look at you, foul as sin
|
| Hideous, horrible
|
| Call the stakes, deal me in
|
| Devil take the hindmost
|
| PHANTOM: Our Christine shall choose tonight
|
| RAOUL: Let her choose
|
| PHANTOM: Is she yours or mine?
|
| RAOUL: Draw the line
|
| PHANTOM: If she sings you lose tonight
|
| RAOUL: I won’t lose
|
| PHANTOM: You leave from here
|
| RAOUL: Fine
|
| PHANTOM: Disappear
|
| RAOUL: Fine! |
| And if she won’t, if I win?
|
| PHANTOM: All your debts, wiped away
|
| RAOUL: Very well, let’s begin
|
| BOTH: Devil take the hindmost
|
| RAOUL: You think you have the odds, you think you’re in control
|
| You think you’ve fixed the dice, well I will gladly roll
|
| I’ll bet against the house, I’ll even double down
|
| PHANTOM: Our old game, it’s been changed
|
| Every throw, riskier
|
| All the rules, rearranged
|
| Fate has redesigned most
|
| RAOUL: Fortune’s on my side
|
| I won her long ago! |
| I won her from you then
|
| I wager even now I’ll win her back again
|
| And when the game is done
|
| PHANTOM: Cut the deck, let us play
|
| You and I, once again
|
| In the end, either way!
|
| BOTH: Devil take the hindmost!
|
| Now Christine shall choose at last
|
| Is she yours or mine?
|
| RAOUL: We’ve a son, our bond’s secure
|
| PHANTOM: Are you sure?
|
| RAOUL: What?
|
| PHANTOM: Are you so sure?
|
| RAOUL: What do you mean?
|
| PHANTOM: Such a child, strange to see
|
| Talented, musical
|
| Is he more you or me?
|
| Which one do you find most?
|
| RAOUL: You lie! |
| No woman could or ever would
|
| Love such a man, you’re insane
|
| So now I play for my wife
|
| PHANTOM: Yet you won’t doubt your wife
|
| Doubt your son, everything
|
| Now we play for your life
|
| BOTH: Devil take the hindmost
|
| PHANTOM: Deal the cards, let them fall
|
| Choose your hand, try your best
|
| He who wins
|
| RAOUL: I call your bluff, the game is on
|
| And we will see who wins out
|
| Once and for all
|
| BOTH: Wins it all
|
| Devil take the hindmost
|
| PHANTOM: She walks, you leave together
|
| Pockets full, debts paid.
|
| She sings, you leave alone.
|
| Devil take the hindmost
|
| RAOUL: My God. |
| What have I done? |
| I could lose her forever. |
| My Christine! |
