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
(At the level of your eyes)
(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 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 (Farewell my fallen idol and false friend)
One by one, all my delusions shattered (Too late for prayers and useless pity)

Say you love him (All hope of cries for help)
And my life is over (No point in fighting)
For either way you choose you cannot win (he has to win)

So, do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave?
Why make her lie to you, to save me?

Past the point of no return (Angel of music) (For pity's sake)
The final threshold (Who deserves this?) (Christine, say no)
His life is now the prize which you must earn!

I fought so hard to free you

Angel of music (You've passed the point of no return)
You deceived me
I gave my mind blindly

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!)
Take her, forget me, forget all of this
(Who is this monster, this murdering beast?)
Leave me alone, forget all you've seen

Go now, don't let them find you!
(Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet!)
Take the boat, leave me here, go now, don't wait
(Too long he's preyed on us) Just take her and go
(But now we know) Before it's too late, go

(The Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below)
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!
