Now entering the Final Lair, Christine expressing angrily to the Phantom: "Have you gorged yourself at last In your lust for blood?Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?" The Phantom explaining to Christine: "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 sincere to the Phantom "This haunted face Holds no horror for me now.It's in your soul That the true distortion lies..." Raoul enters the Phantom's Lair trying to save Christine "Wait!I think, my dear, We have a guest. Sir..." Christine cries in need of help "Raoul!" The Phantom now being sarcastic greets Raoul "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 now worrying in trying to help Christine he sings "Free her!Do what you like, only free her!Have you no pity?" Again stating sarcastically the Phantom says "Your lover makes a passionate plea..." Now, Christine trying to help Raoul states "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, 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! Christine singing towards the Phantom in hatred and cruelty says "The tears I might have shed, for your dark fate, grow cold and turn to tears of hate! In a disagreeing manner, Christine, Raoul and the Phantom sing back and forth to each other trying to make their points and to go separate ways:

Raoul towards Christine: Christine, forgive me, please forgive me...I did it all for you,And all for nothing...

Christine towards the Phantom: Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend, We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!

Phantom towards Christine: Too late for turning back...Too late for prayers and useless pity...

Raoul towards Christine: Say you love him And my life is over...

Phantom towards Christine:Past all hope of cries for help.No point in fighting,

Phantom (Raoul) together: For either way you choose you cannot win.(Either way you choose he has to win!)

Phantom towards Christine Savagely : So do you end your days with me,Or do you send him to his grave?

Raoul towards Phantom: Why make her lie to you to save me?

Phantom towards Christine: Past the point of no return

Christine towards Phantom: Angel of Music...

Raoul towards Christine: For pity's sake, Christine, say no!

Christine towards Phantom:Who deserves this?

Phantom towards Christine: The final threshold...

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

Christine towards Phantom: Why do you curse mercy?

Phantom towards Christine: His life is now the prize Which you must earn!

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

Christine towards Phantom: Angel of Music...

Phantom towards Christine: You've passed the point of no return!

Christine towards Phantom: You deceived me!I gave my mind, blindly!

Phantom towards Christine: You try my patience...Make your choice!

Christine towards Phantom : Pitiful creature of darkness,What kind of life have you known?God give me courage to show you, You are not alone...

Once done fighting with one another; the Phantom orders screamingly and says to Raoul take Christine and to never return to his lair. After leaving Christine comes back one more time to say a final goodbye to the Phantom and give the ring back that she had taken at the dinner table.
