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

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!

Track down this murderer!

He must be found!

Hounded out by everyone!

Met with hatred everywhere!

No kind word from anyone!

No compassion anywhere!

Christine, Christine ...

Why, why...?

Your hand at the level of your eyes!

... at the level of your eyes...

Your hand at the level of your eyes!

Your hand at the level of your eyes!

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

The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera

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...

Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood?

Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?

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!

This haunted face holds no horror for me now

It's in your soul that the true distortion lies

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!

Free her!

Do what you like, only free her!

Have you no pity?

Your lover makes a passionate plea!

Please Raoul, it's useless!

I love her!

Does that mean nothing?

I love her!

Show some compassion...

The world showed no compassion to me!

Christine, Christine

Let me see her...

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!

The tears I might have shed for your dark fate

Grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!

Christine, forgive me, please forgive me

I did it all for you, and all for nothing

Say you love him

And my life is

​over

Either way you choose

He has to win

Why make her lie to you, to save me?

For pity's sake, Christine, say no!

Don't throw your life away for my sake!

I fought so hard to free you...

  

Farewell my fallen idol and false friend

One by one, all my delusions shattered!

Angel of

Music...

Who

​deserves this?

When

​will you see reason?

Angel of Music, you deceived me

I gave my mind blindly

  

Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!

All hope of cries for help

No point in fighting!

For either way you choose

You cannot win!

So, do you end your days with me

Or do you send him to his grave?

Past the point of

​no return

The final

​threshold

His life

​is now the prize which you must earn!

You've passed the point of no return...

You try my patience—make your choice!

Pitiful creature of darkness

What kind of life have you known?

God give me courage to show you

You are not alone

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!

  

Who is this monster, this murdering beast?

Revenge for Piangi!

Revenge for Buquet!

This creature

​must never go free...

  

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...

Say you'll share with me

One love, one lifetime

Say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me

Each night

Each morning...

You alone can make my song take flight—

It's over now, the music of the night!
