6: Music of the Night
7: I remember.../Stranger than you dreamt it

1: Think of me/Think of me fondly when we've said goodbye/Remember me/Once in a while, please promise me you'll try/When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free/If you ever find a moment/Spare a thought for me/We never said our love was evergreen/Or as unchanging as the sea/But if you can still remember/Stop and think of me/Think of all the things we've shared and seen/Don't think about the way things might've been/ think of me/Think of me waking, silent and resigned/Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind/Recall those days/Look back on all those times/Think of the things we'll never do/There will never be a day when I won't think of you. Flowers fade/The fruits of summer fade/They have their seasons/ so do we/But please promise me that sometimes you will think...(Opera singing) Of me!
2: Where in the world
have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect!
I only wish
I knew your secret!
Who is your great tutor?
CHRISTINE:
Father once spoke of an angel
I used to dream he'd appear
Now as I sing, I can sense him
And I know he's here
Here in this room
he calls me softly
somewhere inside hiding
Somehow I know
he's always with me
he - the unseen genius
MEG:
Christine, you must have been dreaming, stories like this can't come true
Christine, you're talking in riddles, and it's not like you!
CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
MEG(to herself):
Who is this angel? This...
BOTH:
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel
CHRISTINE:
He's with me, even now...
MEG:
Your hands are cold...
CHRISTINE:
All around...
MEG:
Your face, Christine, it's white...
CHRISTINE:
It frightens me...
MEG:
Don't be frightened...
3: Raoul sad Spoken)
Little Lotte, let her mind wonder. Little Lotte thought, "Am I fonder of dolls or of goblins or of shoes?"
Christine sad Spoken)
Raoul.
Raoul sad Spoken)
Or of riddles or frogs?
Christine sad Spoken)
Those Picnics in the attic.
Raoul sad Spoken)
Or of chocolates.
Christine sad Spoken)
father playing the violin
Raoul sad Spoken)
As we read to each other, dark stories of the north
Christine sad Spoken)
No, "What I loved best," Lottie Said, "was when I'm asleep in my bed."
(Sung)
And the angel of music sings songs in my head
Christine and Raoul:
The angel of music sings songs in my head.
4: Phantom:
Insolent boy/this slave of fashion/basking in your glory/Ignorant fool/this brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph!
Christine:
Angel, I hear, you/Speak, I listen/Stay by my side, guide me/Angel, my soul was weak/forgive me/Enter at last, master.
Phantom:
Flattering child, you shall know me/See why in shadow I hide/Look at your face in the mirror/I am there inside
Christine:
Angel of music/guide and guardian/grant to me your glory/angel of music/hide no longer/come to me, strange angel.
Phantom:
I am your angel of music/come to me, angel of music.
Raoul sad Spoken)
Whose is that voice? Who is that in there?
Phantom:
I am your angel of music
Raoul sad Spoken)
Christine! Christine!
Phantom:
Come to me, angel of music
5: Christine:
In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
and speaks my name
And do I dream again
for now I find
the phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind
Phantom:
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
to glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there
inside YOUR mind
Christine:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Phantom:
it's me they hear
Both:
My/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind
OFF STAGE VOICES:
Beware
the phantom of the opera
Beware
the phantom of the opera
Christine:
He's there
the phantom of the opera
(Phantom)
Sing my Angel of Music
Christine [Vocalizing until the end...]
Phantom:

(Christine cont'd on a higher note)
Phantom:

(Christine cont'd on a higher note)
Phantom:
Sing My Angel of music...
(Christine cont'd on a higher note)
Phantom:
SING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!
[CHRISTINE ON HIGHER NOTE...]

(higher note)
sing my angel...
(higher note)
sing for me...
6: Nighttime sharpens,
Heightens each sensation.
Darkness, stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses.
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it,
Tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away, from the careless light of day!
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling nights.
And listen to the music of the night.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dream!
Leave the thoughts of life you knew before!
close your eyes and let your spirit start to soar.
and youll live, as youve never lived before.
Softly, Deftly,
Music shall caress you.
Hear it, Feel it,
Secretly posses you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight,
The darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind
Start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!
let your soul
take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...
Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication,
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation.
Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write,
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night...
7: [Christine]
I remember there was mist...
Swirling mist upon a vast glassy lake
There were candles all around, and on the lake there was a boat
And in the boat there was a man
Who was that shape in the shadows?
Whose is the face in the mask?
[She removes his mask]
[Phantom]
...Damn you
You little prying Pandora
You little demon
This is what you wanted to see?
Curse you, you little lying Delilah
You little viper
Now you cannot ever be free
Damn you, curse you...
Stranger than you dreamt it
Can you even dare to look, or bear to think of me
This loathesome gargoyle
Who burns in hell, But secretly yearns for heaven
Secretly, secretly...
But Christine...
Fear can turn to love
You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster
This repulsive carcass
Who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty,
Secretly, secretly...
Oh, Christine...
(Christine hands the Phantom his mask)
[Phantom, speaking]
Come, we must return, those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you.
8: Buquet:
Nahh!
Like yellow parchment is his skin,
A great black hole serves as the nose that never grew,
You must always be on your guard,
Or he will catch you with his magical lasso!
Young Girl:
Oh my...
Buquet:
Gnahh!
Madame Giry:
Those who speak of what they know,
Find too late that prudence silence is wise,
Joseph Buquet hold your tongue!
Keep your hand at the level of your eyes!
9: (Firmin)
Mystery of the gala night
It says mystery of soprano's flight
Mystified all the papers say
We are mystified, we suspect foul play
Bad news on soprano's scene
First Carlotta now Christine
Still, atleast, the seats get sold
Gossip's worth its weight in gold
What a way to run a business
Spare me the unending trials
Half your cast disappears but the crowd still cheers
Opera!
To hell with Gluck and Handel
Have a scandal and you're sure to have a hit!
(Andre interrupting)
Damnable!
Will they all walk out?
This is damnable!
(Firmin)
Andre please dont shout!
It's publicity!
And the take is vast
Free publicity!
(Andre)
But we have no cast!
(Firmin)
Andre, have you seen the queues?
Ah, it seems you've got one too
(Andre, reading)
Dear Andre what a charming gala,
Christine enjoyed a great success
We were hardly berefed when Carlotta left
On that wise,the chorus was entrancing but the dancing was a lamentable mess.
(Firmin, reading)
Dear, Firmin
Just a brief reminder
My salary has not been paid
Send it care of the ghost by return of post
P.T.O
No one likes a debtor so its better if my orders are obeyed!
(Both)
Who would have the gall to send this?
Someone with a purile brain
These are both signed O.G.
(Andre)
Who the hell is he?
(Both realizing)
Opera ghost!
(Firmin)
It's really not amusing
(Andre)
He's abusing our position!
(Firmin)
In addition he wants money!
(Andre)
What a funny sort of specter
(Both)
To expect a large retainer
Nothing plainer, he is clearly quite insane!
(Raoul interrupting)
Where is she?
(Firmin)
You mean Carlotta?
(Raoul)
I mean Miss Daae
Where is she?
(Andre)
Well how should we know?
(Raoul)
I want an answer!
I take it that you sent me this note
(Firmin)
What's all this nonsense?
(Andre)
Of course not!
(Firmin)
Dont look at us!
(Raoul)
She's not with you then?
(Andre)
Of course not!
(Firmin)
We're in the dark
(Raoul)
Monsiour dont argue!
Isn't this the letter you wrote?
(Firmin)
And what is it that I meant to have wrote?
... Written!
(Andre, reading)
Do not fear for Miss Daae
The angel of music has her under his wing
Make no attempt to see her again
(Raoul)
If you didn't write it, then who did?
(Carlotta)
Where is he?
(Firmin)
Ah, welcome back!
(Carlotta)
Your precious patron
Where is he?
(Raoul)
What is it now?
(Carlotta)
I have your letter
A letter which I'd rather resent
(Firmin)
And did you send it?
(Raoul)
Of course not!
(Andre)
As if he would!
(Carlotta)
You didn't send it?
(Raoul)
Of course not!
(Firmin)
What's going on?
(Carlotta)
You dare to tell me that this is not the letter you sent?
(Raoul)
And what is it that I meant to have sent?
(Raoul, reading)
Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered
Christine Daae
(Carlotta saying: Christine Daae!)
will be singing on your behalf tonight
Be prepared for a great misfortune
Should you attempt to take her place
(Firmin and Andre)
Far too many notes for *my* taste
And most of them about Christine
All we've heard since we came is Miss Daae's name--!
(Madame Giry)
Miss Daae has returned
(Firmin)
I trust her midnight oil is well and truly burned!
(Andre)
Where precisely is she now?
(Madame Giry)
I thought it best she went home
(Meg Giry)
She needed rest
(Raoul)
May I see her?
(Madame Giry)
No, Monsiour
She will see no one
(Andre, Carlotta, Firmin, Raoul)
Can she sing, Can she sing?
(Madame Giry)
Here, I have a note
(Andre, Carlotta, Raoul)
Let me see it!
(Firmin, snatching note)
Please!
Gentleman,
I have now sent you several notes of the most amiable nature
Detailing how my theatre is to be run
You have not...
(fading to the Phantom's voice)
followed my instructions
I shall give you one last chance
(Phantom singing)
Christine Daae has returned to you
And I am anxious her career should progress
In the new production of Il Muto
You will therefore cast Carlotta as the pageboy
And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess
The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal
The role of the pageboy is silent, which makes my casting, in a word, ideal
(Phantom talking)
I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in box five
Which *will* be kept empty for me
Should these commands be ignored
A disaster beyond your imagination will occur
I remain, gentleman, your obedient servant
O.G.
(Carlotta)
Christine!
(Andre)
Whatever next?
(Carlotta)
It's all a ploy to help Christine!
(Firmin)
This is insane...
(Carlotta)
I know who sent this:
The Vicomte -- her lover!
(Raoul)
Indeed?
Can you believe this?
(Andre)
Signora!
(Carlotta)
O traditori!
(Firmin)
This is a joke!
(Andre)
This changes nothing!
(Carlotta)
O menititori!
(Firmin)
Signora!
(Andre)
You are our star!
(Firmin)
And always will be!
(Andre)
Signora...
(Firmin)
This man is mad!
(Andre)
We dont take orders!
(Firmin)
Miss Daae will be playing the pageboy -- the silent role...
(Andre/Firmin)
Carlotta will be playing the lead!
10: It's useless trying to appease me!
You're only saying this to please me!
Signori, e vero?
Non, non, non voglio udire!
Lasciatemi morire!
O padre mio!
Dio!
(Madame Giry)
You scorn his word, beware to those...
(Carlotta) You have reviled me!
(Madame Giry)
The angel sees, the angel knows...
(Carlotta)
You have rebuked me!
(Andre/Firmin)
Signora, pardon us...
(Carlotta)
You have replaced me!
(Andre/Firmin)
Please, Signora
We beseech you...
(Madame Giry)
This hour shall see your darkest fears
(Meg Giry/Raoul)
I must see her...
(Carlotta)
Abbandonata!
Deseredata!
O, sventurata!
(Madame Giry)
The angel knows, the angel hears...
(Raoul)
Where did she go...?
(Carlotta)
Abbandonata!
Disgraziata!
(Andre/Firmin)
Signora, sing for us!
Dont be a martyr...
(Raoul/Madame Giry/Meg Giry)
What new surprises lie in store...?
(Andre/Firmin)
Our star!
(Carlotta)
Non vo' cantar!
11: (Confidante)
They say that this youth
has set my Lady's
heart aflame!
(1st Fop)
His Lordship, sure,
would die of shock!
(2nd Fop)
His Lordship is
a laughing-stock!
(Confidante)
Should he suspect her,
God protect her!
(All Three)
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's
bound for Hades!
Shame! Shame! Shame!
(Countess)
Serafimo - your disguise is perfect.
(A knock at door)
Who can this be?
(Don Attilio)
Gentle wife, admit your loving
husband.
My love - I am called to England
on affairs of State, and must
leave you with your new maid.
(Aside) Though I'd happily take
the maid with me.
(Countess aside)
The old fool's leaving!
Serafimo away with this pretence!
You cannot speak - but kiss
me in my husbands absense.
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha,
Haha! etc.
Time I tried to get a better better half!
(Countess and Chorus)
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho,
Hoho, etc.
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!
(Phantom's Voice)
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept
empty?
(Meg backstage)
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera...
(Christine)
It's him
(Carlotta)
Your part is silent, little toad!
(Phantom's Voice)
A toad, madame? Perhaphs it is you who are the
toad...
(Carlotta as Countess)
Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss my in my
croak!
(Countess)
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!
Croak, croak, croak, croak, etc.
(Firmin)
Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize.
The performance will continue in ten
minutes' time...
... When the role of Countess
will be sung by Miss Daae.
(Andre)
In the meanwhile, we'd like to give
you the ballet from Act III of
tonight's opera.
12: Raoul:
Why have you brought me here?
Christine:
We can't go back there!
Raoul:
We must return!
Christine:
He'll kill you!
His eyes will find us there!
Raoul:
Christine, don't say that
Christine:
Those eyes that burn!
Raoul:
Don't even think it
Christine:
And if he has to kill a thousand men
Raoul:
Forget this waking nightmare
Christine:
The Phantom of the Opera will kill
Raoul:
This phantom is a fable
Believe me
Christine:
...and kill again!
Raoul:
There is no Phantom of the Opera
Christine:
My God, who is this man
Raoul:
My God, who is this man
Christine:
...who hunts to kill?
Raoul:
...this mask of death?
Christine:
I can't escape from him
Raoul:
Whose is this voice you hear
Christine:
...I never will!
Raoul:
...with every breath?
Both:
And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here/there
inside your/my mind
Raoul:
There is no Phantom of the Opera
Christine:
Raoul, I've been there, to his world of
unending night
To a world where the daylight dissolves
into darkness, darkness
Raoul, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted,deformed, it was hardly a face,
in the darkness, darkness
But his voice filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound
In that night there was music in my mind
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before
Raoul:
What you heard was a dream and nothing more
Christine:
Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore
Raoul:
Christine, Christine
Phantom:
Christine
13: (Raoul)
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I’m here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I’m here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
(Christine)
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
[Raoul]
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You’re safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
[Christine]
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
[Raoul]
Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
[Christine]
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
[Christine]
Say you love me
[Raoul]
You know I do
Love me,
[Both]
that's all I ask of you
…
(They kiss. Raoul lifts Christine off her feet, into his arms and holds her)
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
14: [Christine]
I must go, they'll wonder where I am
Come with me Raoul
[Raoul]
Christine, I love you
(They kiss)
[Christine]
Order your fine horses
Be with them at the door
[Raoul]
And soon you'll be beside me
[Christine]
You'll guard me and you'll guide me
[Phantom]
I gave you my music
Made your song take wing
and now, how you've repaid me
Denied me and betrayed me
He was bound to love you
When he heard you sing!
[spoken]
Christine...
Christine...
(The Phantom begins to cry)
[Christine and Raoul in the distance]
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
[Phantom]
(Climbing the statue)
You will curse the day you did not do,
All that the phantom asked of you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think of it
(Spoken)
A secret engagement. Look, your future bride. Just think of it.
Raoul: (Spoken)
But, why is it secret? What have we to hide? You promised me.
Christine: (Spoken)
No, Raoul, please don't, they'll see.
Raoul: (Spoken)
Well then let them see. It's an engagement, not a crime.

Why so silent, good Messieurs?/Did you think that I had left you for good?/Have you missed me, good Messieurs?/I have written you an opera./Here, I bring the finished score./Don Juan Triumphant!/I advise you to comply, my instructions should be clear./Remember there are worse things than a shattered Chandelier!
Phantom:
Your chains are still mine,
(spoken)
You belong to me!
16: Not Available
17: Christine: Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing.
Her father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music.
Her father promised her...
her father promised her...
You were once my one companion,
you were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and father,
then my world was shattered.
Wishing you were somehow here again,
wishing you were somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here.
Wishing I could hear your voice again,
knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you won't help me to do,
all that you dreamed I could!
Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental.
Seem, for you, the wrong companions,
you were warm and gentle.
Too many years fighting back tears,
why can't the past just die!
Wishing you were somehow here again,
knowing we must say goodbye!
Try to forgive, teach me to live!
Give me the strength to try!
No more memories, no more silent tears!
No more gazing across the wasted years!
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye...
18: Phantom:
Wandering child,
So lost, so helpless
Yearning for my guidance
Christine:
Angel or father?
Friend or phantom?
Who is it there, staring?
Phantom:
Have you forgotten your Angel?
Christine:
Angel, oh, speak
What endless longings
Echo in this whisper
Phantom:
Too long you've wandered in winter
Far from my fathering gaze
Christine:
Wildly my mind beats against you
Phantom:
You resist
Phantom/Christine:
Yet your/the soul obeys...
Phantom:
Angel of Music!
You denied me
Turning from true beauty
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me
Come to your strange Angel...
Christine:
Angel of Music!
I denied you
Turning from true beauty
Angel of Music!
My protector...
Come to me, strange Angel...
Phantom:
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me; Angel of Music
Raoul[spoken]:
No, Christine, wait!
Wait!
Christine[spoken]:
Raoul!
Raoul[spoken]:
Whatever you (Draws sword) believe,
this man - this thing - is not your father!
(The Phantom Jumps out and swings his sword. Raoul and Erik the Phantom sword fight. Erik the Phantom stabs Raoul in the arm. Raoul happens to pin Erik the Phantom down. Before Raoul can stab him, Christine stops him)
Christine: No, Raoul! No. Not like this.
(They look at Erik the Phantom for a minute. Raoul puts away his sword, they get on his horse and ride off)
Phantom(Spoken, angrily) Now, let it be war upon you both.
19: Raoul:
We have all been blind
And yet the answer is staring us in the face
This could be the chance
To ensnare our clever friend
Andre:
We're listening...
Firmin:
Go on.
Raoul:
We shall play his game
Perform his work, but remember we hold the ace
For if Miss Daae sings
He is certain to attend
Andre:
We are certain the doors are barred
Firmin:
We are certain the police are there
Raoul:
We are certain they're armed
Raoul/Andre/Firmin:
The curtain falls
His reign will end!
Christine[spoken]:
Raoul, I'm frightened...
Don't make me do this
It scares me,
Don't put me through this ordeal by fire.
He'll take me, I know
We'll be parted forever...
He won't let me go.
What I once used to dream, I now dread.
If he finds me, it won't ever end.
[sung]And he'll always be there,
singing songs in my head...
He'll always be there,
singing songs in my head...
Raoul:
You said yourself,
He was nothing but a man...
Yet while he lives,
He will haunt us 'til we're dead.
Christine:
Twisted every way
What answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life
To win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man
Who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey?
Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought
He murders all that's good
I know I can't refuse...
And yet, I wish I could
Oh God, if I agree
What horrors wait for me
In this, the Phantom's opera
Raoul:
Christine, Christine
Don't think that I don't care
But every hope, and every prayer
rests on you now
Phantom:
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!
20: CHORUS:
Here the sire may serve the dam, here the master take his meat! here the sacrifical lamb utters one dispairing bleat.
CARLOTTA AND CHORUS
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 master so that, when tables, plans and maids are laid Don Juan triumphs once again!
DON JUAN (PIANGI)
Passarino faithful friend, once again recite the plan
PASSARINO
your young guest believes I'm you- I, the master, you the man,
DON JUAN(PIANGI)
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 right is mine. when it's late and modesty starts to mellow with the wine.
PASSARINO
you come home! I use your voice- slam the door like crack of doom!
DON JUAN (PIANGI)
i shall say, "come hide with me! where oh where? of course my room"
PASSARINO
poor thing hasn't got a chance
DON JUAN(PIANGI)
here's my hat, my cloak and sword. comquest is assured, if i do not forget myself and laugh *laughs*
AMINTA(CHRISTINE)
"...no thoughts withni her head but thoughts of joy. no dreams within her heart, but dreams of love."
PASSARINO
master?
DON JUAN(PHANTOM)
passarino- go away! for the trap is set and waits for his 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.
21: 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?
CHRISTINE: 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?
BOTH: 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.
PHANTOM: 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…
(Christine tears the mask, showing his face to the audience)
PHANTOM: Grrr!
22: 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
Mob:
Track down this murderer
He must be found
Hunt down this murderer
He must be found
Phantom:
Hounded out by everyone
Met with hatred everywhere
No kind words from anyone
No compassion anywhere
[Spoken]Christine. Why, why . . .?
Madame Giry:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Raoul:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Mob:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Madame Giry [Spoken]:
This is as far as I dare go
Raoul [Spoken]:
Thank you
(Raoul goes through all the traps of the Phantom's lair. He swims and everything)
Christine:
Have you gorged yourself at last
in your lust for blood?
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
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,
Christine (spoken): Raoul!
Phantom:
This is indeed an unparalleled delight
I had rather hoped that you would come
(Puts his wrap around Christine) And now my wish comes true
You have truly made my night!
Christine [spoken]:
Let me go!
Raoul: (Pleading)
Free her
Do what you like, only free her
Have you no pity?
Phantom:
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:
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?
(Lassos Raoul around the neck)
Raoul: (Chokes and gags)
Phantom: (Taunting as he ties Raoul's arms to the gate)
Order your fine horses now
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes
Nothing can save you now, except perhaps Christine
(to 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 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 . . .
(Erik the Phantom grabs more rope and wraps it around Raoul, and ties one above him to hang him)
Christine:
Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are 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 hope of cries of help,
No point in fighting
For either way you choose, You cannot win
Raoul:
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? (Pulls the rope)
Raoul:
Why make her lie to you to save me?
Phantom:
Past the point of no return...
Christine:
Angel of Music . . .
Raoul:
For pity's sake, Christine say no!
Christine:
Who deserved this?
Phantom:
The final threshold . . .
Raoul:
Don't throw your life away for my sake!
Phantom:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!
Christine:
Why do you curse mercy?
Raoul:
I fought so hard to free you . . .
Christine:
Angel of Music . . .
Phantom:
You've passed the point of no return!
Chrstine:
. . . you deceived me
[spoken]I gave you my mind blindly
Phantom[spoken]:
You try my patience,
Make your choice!
(Pulls the rope)
Raoul: (Chokes and gags)
Christine:
Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone...
(Kisses him)
Mob:
Track down this
murderer, he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
(Mob continues to sing)
Phantom[spoken]:
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, swear to me, never to tell
The secret you know, of the angel in hell!
[sung]Go now - go now - GO NOW and leave me!
(she leaves)
(With music box as background melody)
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .
Christine, I love you....
(Christine gives him the ring)
Christine (to Raoul, on the boat):
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Raoul:
Say the word and I will follow you...
Both:
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most common favorite would be the Title Song. Most other times I find myself singing Masquerade or Down Once More right to the end. In fact, I sing pretty much every song because I like going through the libretto. >.>
Other than the title song, I really don't have a favorite.

Prima Donna!

I sing it in the shower a lot.
A darn lot?
Masquerade..
4:50 seconds into the last song begins my favorite part of the whole thing.(Ending at 6:40)
Yes, yes I do listen to the soundtrack too much.

But Erik gets all angry, I can't help but be in love with it.
whee
...Music Of The Night is also beautiful, Angel of Music, Think of Me..
Those are my favorite pretty ones.
Mmmm..I need to listen to that now.
Curse you all!

Though that's liable to change. xd

i would definately have to say Music of the Night and Past the Point of No Return.... just as far as the music goes. But i have random favorite pieces in other songs though... Like when the phantom has seen Raoul and Christine together... and then he sings "I gave you my music, made your song take wing, and now how youve repaid me, denyed me and betrayed me" Thats a really good part. The other that springs to mind is Christine's little soliloquy, "Twisted every way what answer can i give? Am i to risk my life to win the chance to live?... etc."

I like all of them! But since I have a choice, Think of Me, but I liked it before I saw the moive, so...... I guess I might be biased, but I also like Angel of Music and Music of the Night and Phantom of the Opera as well as Down Once More.
