The Phantom of the Opera
앨범 : The Phantom of the Opera

{Phantom}
Down once more to the dungeons 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 ...
Why, why ...

[Giry]
Your hand at the level of your eyes

[Raoul]
... at the level of your eyes ...

[Christine]
Have you gorged yourself
At last in your lust for blood ?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh ?

{Phantom - Coldly}
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 - to Christine, dryly}
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 - snarls furiously at Raoul}
The world showed no compassion to me !

[Raoul]
Christine ... Christine ...

(to Phantom)
Let me see her ...

{Phantom - drily}
Be my guest, sir ...

Monsieur, I bid you welcome
Did you think that I would harm her
Why would 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 to the Phantom]
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 ...
One by one
I've watched illusions 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 of the cries for help - no point in fighting

[Raoul]
Either way you choose, he has to win

{Phantom}
For either way you choose
You cannot win !
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 ... {Past the point of no return - }

[Raoul]
Christine, say no !
Don't throw your life away for my sake

[Christine]
... why this torment ? { ... the final threshold - }

[Christine]
When will you see reason ...

{Phantom}
His life is not 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 ...

{Phantom}
Take her - forget me - forget all of this ...
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen ...
Go now - don't get them find you !
Take the boat - right from me - never to tell
The secret you know of the angel in hell
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 to Raoul]
Say you'll share with me, one love, one life time ...

[Raoul]
Say the word and I will follow you ...

[Christine]
Share each day with me each night ... each morning

{Phantom}
You alone can make my song take flight -
It's over now, the music of the night -
