Devil Take The Hindmost |
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! |
