|
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! |
|
|
|
CHORUS: |
|
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 ...? |
|
|
|
MADAME GIRY: |
|
Your hand at the level of your eyes! |
|
... at the level of your eyes ... |
|
|
|
CHORUS: |
|
Track down this murderer he must be found! |
|
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 here deep |
|
down inside! |
|
He's here the Phantom of the Opera... |
|
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 the 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 ... |
|
I did it all for you, and all for nothing ... |
|
|
|
CHRISTINE: |
|
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend ... |
|
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered! |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity! |
|
|
|
RAOUL: |
|
Say you love him and my life is over |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting! |
|
|
|
RAOUL/PHANTOM: |
|
For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win! |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
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: |
|
Angel of Music... |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
Past the point of no return - |
|
|
|
RAOUL: |
|
For pity's sake, |
|
Christine, say no! |
|
|
|
CHRISTINE: |
|
...who deserves this? |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
... the final threshold... |
|
|
|
RAOUL: |
|
Don't throw your life away for my sake! |
|
|
|
CHRISTINE: |
|
When will you see reason ...? |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
His life is now the prize which you must earn! |
|
|
|
RAOUL: |
|
I fought so hard to free you ... |
|
|
|
CHRISTINE: |
|
Angel of Music ... |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
You've passed the point of no return ... |
|
|
|
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... |
|
|
|
CHORUS: |
|
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 inside! |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
Take her - forget me - forget all of this... |
|
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen... |
|
Go now - don't let them find you! |
|
Take the boat - leave me here, go now, don't wait... |
|
Just take her and go, before it's too late... |
|
Go! |
|
GO NOW! |
|
GO NOW AND LEAVE ME! |
|
Masquerade... |
|
Paper faces 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 word and I will follow you... |
|
|
|
RAOUL: |
|
Share each day with me |
|
|
|
CHRISTINE: |
|
each night, |
|
|
|
RAOUL/CHRISTINE: |
|
each morning... |
|
|
|
PHANTOM: |
|
You alone can make my song take flight - |
|
it's over now, the music of the night! |
