Past The Point Of No Return
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!
MOB
Track down this murderer,
He must be found!
Hunt down this murderer,
He must be found!
PHANTOM
Hounded out by everyone,
Met with hatred everywhere,
No kind words from anyone,
No compassion anywhere...
Christine...
Why, why...?
MME GIRY
Your hand at the level of your eyes...
RAOUL
At the level of your eyes...
CHOIR
Your hand at the level of your eyes... (At the level of your eyes...)
CHRISTINE
Have you gorged yourself at last
In your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey
to your lust 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 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
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...
