The Phantom of the Opera Page #6

... in this, the Phantom's opera?

Christine, Christine

Don't think that I don't care

But every hope and every prayer...

... rests on you now

Seal my fate tonight

I hate to have to cut the fun short

But the joke's wearing thin

Let the audience in

Let my opera begin

Here the sire may serve the dam

Here the master takes his meat

Here the sacrificial lamb...

... utters one despairing bleat

Poor young maiden

For the thrill on your tongue

of stolen sweets...

... you will have to pay the bill...

... tangled in the winding sheets

Serve the meal and serve the maid

Serve the meal and serve the maid

Serve the master so that when

tables, plans and maids are laid

Don Juan triumphs...

... once again

Passarino, faithful friend...

... once again recite the plan

Your young guest believes I'm you

I, the master

You, the man

When you met you wore my cloak

she could not have seen your face

She believes she dines with me

in her master's borrowed place

Furtively, we'll scoff and quaff

stealing what, in truth, is mine

When it's late and modesty

starts to mellow with the wine

You come home, I use your voice

slam the door like crack of doom

I shall say, "Come hide with me

where, oh, where? Of course, my room!"

- Poor thing hasn't got a chance

- Here's my hat, my cloak and sword

Conquest is assured

if I do not forget myself and laugh

No thoughts within her head

but thoughts of joy

No dreams within her heart...

... but dreams of love

Master?

Passarino

Go away, for the trap is set

And waits for its prey

You have come here...

... in pursuit of your deepest urge

In pursuit of that wish

which till now...

... has been silent

Silent

I have brought you...

... that our passions

may fuse and merge

In your mind

You've already succumbed to me

Dropped all defenses

Completely succumbed to me

Now you are here with me

No second thoughts

You've decided

Decided

Past the point of no return

No backward glances

Our games of make-believe...

... are at an end

Past all thought of "if" or "when "

No use resisting

Abandon thought

And let the dream descend

What raging fire shall flood the soul?

What rich desire unlocks its door?

What sweet seduction lies before us?

Past the point of no return

The final threshold

What warm, unspoken secrets

Will we learn?

Beyond the point of no...

... return

You have brought me...

... to that moment

when words run dry

... to that moment

when speech disappears...

... into silence

Silence

I have come here

Hardly knowing the reason why

In my mind

I've already imagined...

... our bodies entwining

Defenseless and silent

Now I am here with you

No second thoughts

I've decided

Decided

Past the point of no return

No going back now

Our passion play

has now at last begun

Past all thought of right or wrong

One final question

How long should we two wait

Before we're one?

When will the blood begin to race?

The sleeping bud burst into bloom?

When will the flames at last

Consume us?

Past the point of no return

The final threshold

The bridge is crossed

So stand and watch it burn

We've passed the point of no

Return

Say you'll share with me

One love

One lifetime

Lead me, save me...

... from my solitude

Say you want me with you

Here beside you

Anywhere you go

Let me go too

Christine

That's all I ask of...

Go!

Piangi, my love!

Oh, my God!

We're ruined, Andre. Ruined!

Where did he take her?

Come with me.

I will take you to him.

But remember, keep your hand

at the level of your eyes!

- I'll come with you!

- No, Meg, no.

You must stay here.

Come with me. Do as I say.

No!

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!

Track down this murderer!

He must be found!

Hounded out by everyone...

... met with hatred everywhere

No kind words from anyone

No compassion anywhere

Christine

Why?

Why?

- Your hand at the level of your eyes

- At the level of your eyes

At the level of your eyes

This is as far as I dare go.

Thank you.

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

- 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

- Let me go.

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 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!

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

- We had such hopes

- Too late for turning back

- Now those hopes are shattered

- Too late for prayers and 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

- But either way you choose 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?

- Angel of Music

- Past the point of no return

- Christine, say no!

- Who deserves this?

- Don't throw your life away for my sake

- His life is now the prize...

- ... which you must earn

- I fought so hard to free you

- You've passed the point of no return

- Angel of Music

You deceived me

I gave you 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
