PHANTOM
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!

(faintly)
Track down this murderer, he must be found!
Track down this murderer, he must be found!

PHANTOM
Hounded out by everyone, met with hatred everywhere
No kind words from anyone, no compassion anywhere (sobbing) Christine. (spoken) Why? Why!?

GIRY
Your hand at the level of your eyes (echoed by RAOUL and a CHOIR)

CHRISTINE
Have you gorged yourself at last in your l___ for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your l___ 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 mothers fear and loathing.
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing
Pity comes to 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
Raoul!

PHANTOM
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
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! Messieur 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...
(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.

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 for help, no point in fighting. For either way you choose you cannot win.

RAOUL
For 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, who deserves this? Why do you curse mercy?

PHANTOM
Past the point of no return. The final threshold. His life is now the prize which you must earn.

RAOUL
For Pity's sake Christine say no. Don't throw your life away for my sake. I fought so hard to free you.

PHANTOM
You've passed 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!

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 - swear to me never to tell
The secret you know, of the angel in hell!

(BACKGROUND MOB)
The Phantom of the Opera is there! He's down below!

PHANTOM
Go now- go now and leave me

(MUSIC BOX PLAYS)
PHANTOM
Masquerade Paper faces on parade
Masquerade... Hide your face so the world will never find you...

PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE)
Christine, I love you

CHRISTINE (in the distance to RAOUL)
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 (looking after her)
You alone can make my song take flight -

It's over now, The Music of the Night!
