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!
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd-webber, Richard Stilgoe, Charles Hart
