Andrew Lloyd Webber - Down Once More.../Track Down This Murderer... lyrics
[Andrew Lloyd Webber - Down Once More.../Track Down This Murderer... lyrics]
Down once more to the dungeon
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, Christine
Why, why?
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
At the level of your eyes
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Track down this murderer, he must be found!
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
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is here
Deep down inside!
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera
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, 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!
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 should 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
Say you love him and my life is
over either way you choose
He has to win
Why make her lie to you, to save me?
For pity's sake, Christine, say no!
Don't throw your life away for my sake!
I fought so hard to free you
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend
One by one, all my delusions shattered!
Angel of music
Who deserves this?
When will you see reason?
Angel of Music, you deceived me
I gave my mind blindly
Too late for turning back
Too late for prayers and useless pity!
All hope of cries for help
No point in fighting!
For either way you choose you cannot win!
So, do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave?
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
His life
is now the prize which you must earn!
You've passed the point of no return
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, 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 is there
Deep down below!
Who is this monster, this murdering beast?
Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet!
This creature must never go free
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 here, go now
Don't wait
Just take her and go, before it's too late
Go!
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
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
You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now, the music of the night!
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, Christine
Why, why?
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
At the level of your eyes
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
Track down this murderer, he must be found!
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
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is here
