phantom of the opera

Chapter 7

Underground and they going to his lair.

The 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!

The Mob: Track down this murderer, he must be found! Track down this murderer, he must be found!

The Phantom: Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere! No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere! Lily! Why? Why?!

madame giry and Raoul went down to the phantom's lair.

Madame Giry: Your hand at the level of your eyes!

Raoul: At the level of your eyes!

Song: At the level of your eyes...

Madame Giry: This is as far as I dare go.

Raoul: Thank you.

In the phantom's lair

Lily:  Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?

The Phantom: That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh.

The Phantom: This face - the infection which poisons our love. [sings] 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!

Lily: This haunted face holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul that the true distortion lies.

The Phantom: Wait! I think my dear, we have a guest. Sir-

Lily: Raoul!

The 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.

Lily: Let me go!

Raoul: Free her! Do what you like only free her! Have you no pity?

The Phantom: Your lover makes a passionate plea!

Lily: Please Raoul it's useless.

Raoul: I love her! Does that mean nothing I love her! Show some compassion!

The Phantom: The world showed no compassion to me!

Raoul: Lily, Lily, let me see her.

The Phantom: Be my guest, sir.

The Phantom: 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?

The Phantom: Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Lily. 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!

Lily: The tears I might have shed for your dark fate, grow cold and turn to tears of hate!

Raoul: Lily forgive me, please forgive me. I did it all for you and all for nothing!

Lily: Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend. We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!

The Phantom: Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!

Raoul: Say you love him, and my life is over!

The Phantom: All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting!

The Phantom and Raoul: For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win!

The 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?

Lily: Angel of Music...

The Phantom: Past the point of no return...

Raoul: Lily, say no!

Lily: Who deserves this?

The Phantom: The final threshold...

Raoul: Don't throw your life away for my sake!

Lily: Why do you curse me?

The Phantom: His life is now the prize which you must earn!

Raoul: I fought so hard to free you...

Lily: Angel of music...

The Phantom: You've past the point of no return.

Lily: You deceived me. I gave you my mind blindly.

The Phantom: You try my patience. Make your choice!

Lily: Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God give me courage to show you, you are not alone.

Lily kissed Eric and the mob sang.

The Mob: Track down this murderer, he must be found!

The Phantom: Take her, forget me, forget all of this!

The Mob: Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us - but now we know...

The Phantom: 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 secrets you know, of the Angel in Hell!

The Mob: The Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below!

The Phantom: Go now! Go now, and leave me!

They left and the phantom sang.

The Phantom: Masquerade... paper faces on parade. Masquerade... hide your face, so the world will never find you...

The Phantom: Lily, I love you...

Lily came back and Gave him her ring. she leave with Raoul.

Lily: Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...

Raoul: Say the word and I will follow you...

Lily: Share each day with me each night, each morning...

The Phantom: You alone can make my song take flight. It's over now, the Music of the Night!

He left and Meg came in. she had his mask in her hands.
