Down Once More/track This Murderer Lyrics

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!

(He rounds on her, bitterly)

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!

(He hears the offstage voices of the pursuing MOB)

Mob-

Track down this murderer!

He must be found!

Phantom (moving off again)-

Hounded out by everyone!

Met with hatred everywhere!

No kind words from anyone!

No compassion anywhere!

Christine, why? Why?

Madame Giry-

Your hand at the level of your eyes.

Raoul-

At the level of your eyes.

Mob-

At the level of your eyes.

Madame Giry-

He lives across the lake,Monsieur. This is as far as I dare go.

Raoul-

Thank you.

MOB-

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 lives down below!

Christine-

Have you gorged yourself at last

In your lust for blood?

(no reply)

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.

(he places veil on her head)

Pity comes too late,

Turn around and face your fate.

An eternity of THIS

Before your eyes!

(they are almost touching, she looks coldly into his face)

Christine-

This haunted face

Holds no horror for me now.

It's in your soul

That the true distortion lies.

(the phantom senses Raoul's presence, behind the portcullis Raoul comes out of water)

Phantom-

Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest.

Sir.

Christine-

Raoul!

Phantom (to Raoul)-

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 (pleading)-

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 furiosly at Raoul)

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 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

The tears I might have she'd

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.

Phantom

Too late for turning back.

Christine

Now those hopes are shattered.

Phantom

Too late for prayers and pity.

Raoul

Say you love him

Phantom

All hope of cries for help.

Raoul

And my life is over

Phantom

No point in fighting.

For either way you choose you cannot win.

Raoul

But either way you choose he has to 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

Christine, say no!

Christine

Who deserves this?

Raoul

Don't throw your life away for my sake.

Phantom

His life is now the prize

Christine

Why do you trust me?

Phantom

Which you must earn,

Raoul

I fought so hard to free you!

Phantom

You've past the point of no return!

Christine

Angel of music

You deceived me.

I gave you 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.

Mob

Track down this murderer.

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 hear, go now don't wait just take her and go before it's too late... Go... go now and leave me!

Mob

The phantom of the opera is there

Deep down below.

Phantom

(musical box plays magicaly)

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.

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!!! (Phantom sits on throne sits on part of his cloak, wraps the rest around him and disappears,Meg picks up his mask in her little hand)
