[00:00.760] Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
[00:04.940]
[00:05.870] Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
[00:10.000]
[00:11.810] Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
[00:18.800]
[00:24.490] Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
[00:31.190] Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
[00:35.430]
[00:38.790] Hounded out by everyone!
[00:40.040]
[00:40.610] Met with hatred everywhere!
[00:41.740]
[00:41.950] No kind word from anyone!
[00:44.080] No compassion anywhere!
[00:46.920] Christine, Christine ...
[00:49.060] Why, why ...?
[00:56.870] Your hand at the level of your eyes!
[00:59.490]
[01:00.740] ... at the level of your eyes ...
[01:02.970]
[01:03.900] Your hand at the level of your eyes!
[01:05.740]
[01:20.710] Track down this murderer he must be found!
[01:23.390] Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
[01:27.020] Too long he's preyed on us,
[01:29.010] but now we know, the phantom of the opera is here deep
[01:34.530] down inside!
[01:35.970]
[01:36.530] He's here the Phantom of the Opera...
[01:38.770]
[01:39.600] He's here the Phantom of the Opera...
[01:42.900]
[01:52.020] Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?
[01:56.070]
[01:58.940] Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
[02:03.880]
[02:05.490] That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood,
[02:09.120]
[02:10.740] has also denied me the joys of the flesh ...
[02:17.100]
[02:23.020] This face - the infection which poisons our love ...
[02:29.090]
[02:36.770] This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing ...
[02:46.670]
[02:48.100] A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing ...
[02:58.030]
[02:59.140] Pity comes too late - turn around
[03:02.390]
[03:03.010] and face your fate: an eternity of this before your eyes!
[03:10.260]
[03:13.320] This haunted face holds no horror for me now ...
[03:21.420]
[03:23.800] It's in your soul that the true distortion lies ...
[03:32.540]
[03:35.400] Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
[03:39.020]
[03:40.700] Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
[03:44.570]
[03:45.390] I had rather hoped that you would come.
[03:48.560]
[03:51.060] And now my wish comes true - you have truly made my night!
[03:56.800]
[03:57.420] Free her!
[03:58.170]
[03:59.290] Do what you like only free her!
[04:00.670]
[04:01.660] Have you no pity?
[04:02.850] Your lover makes a passionate plea!
[04:04.910] Please Raoul, it's useless!
[04:06.340] I love her!
[04:06.910]
[04:07.590] Does that mean nothing?
[04:08.440] I love her!
[04:09.120]
[04:10.070] Show some compassion ...
[04:11.560] The world showed no compassion to me!
[04:13.180]
[04:13.990] Christine, Christine...
[04:16.490] Let me see her...
[04:17.300] Be my guest, sir ...
[04:23.110]
[04:31.720] Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
[04:35.710]
[04:36.890] Did you think that I would harm her?
[04:41.580] Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours?
[04:48.840]
[04:51.330] Order your fine horses now!
[04:53.130]
[04:53.880] Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
[04:56.380] Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine...
[05:00.130]
[05:02.740] Start a new life with me -
[05:06.050] Buy his freedom with your love!
[05:08.170] Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
[05:11.820] This is the choice -
[05:13.310]
[05:14.060] This is the point of no return!
[05:18.250]
[05:25.980] The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold,
[05:35.460]
[05:37.020] and turn to tears of hate!
[05:41.700]
[05:45.820] Christine, forgive me please forgive me ...
[05:48.510]
[05:50.120] I did it all for you, and all for nothing ...
[05:53.370]
[05:54.240] Farewell my fallen idol and false friend ...
[05:56.930] We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!
[05:59.840] Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!
[06:02.200] Say you love him and my life is over
[06:06.140] All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting!
[06:09.250] For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win!
[06:12.510]
[06:14.310] So, do you end your days with me,
[06:17.750] or do you send him to his grave?
[06:20.700] Why make her lie to you, to save me?
[06:25.220]
[06:28.340] Angel of Music...
[06:30.830] Past the point of no return -
[06:32.460] For pity's sake,
[06:33.950] Christine, say no!
[06:34.700] ...who deserves this?
[06:35.880] ... the final threshold...
[06:37.520] Don't throw your life away for my sake!
[06:40.140] When will you see reason ...?
[06:41.680] His life is now the prize which you must earn!
[06:44.120] I fought so hard to free you ...
[06:46.490] Angel of Music ...
[06:47.450] You've passed the point of no return ...
[06:50.130] ... you deceived me.
[06:51.440]
[06:52.320] I gave my mind blindly.
[06:55.160]
[07:19.930] You try my patience - make your choice!
[07:32.340]
[07:40.400] Pitiful creature of darkness...
[07:45.820]
[07:49.140] What kind of life have you known?
[07:52.780]
[07:57.580] God give me courage to show you you are not alone...
[08:07.850]
[09:58.030] Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
[10:00.560] Too long he's preyed on us,
[10:01.560] but now we know, the phantom of the opera is there
[10:02.550] deep down inside!
[10:02.810] Take her - forget me - forget all of this...
[10:04.360]
[10:06.730] Leave me alone - forget all you've seen...
[10:09.790] Go now - don't let them find you!
[10:12.410]
[10:15.030] Take the boat - leave me know, swear never to tell,
[10:18.340]
[10:19.970] the secrets you know, of the angel in hell
[10:27.730]
[10:31.420] GO NOW!
[10:32.040]
[10:36.150] GO NOW AND LEAVE ME!
[10:38.270]
[11:04.740] Masquerade...
[11:05.480]
[11:08.970] Paper faces on parade...
[11:11.250]
[11:13.430] Masquerade...
[11:14.150]
[11:17.030] Hide your face so the world will never find you...
[11:25.700]
[11:49.040] Christine, I love you...
[12:03.770]
[12:39.200] Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...
[12:49.820]
[12:51.570] Say the word and I will follow you...
[13:01.180]
[13:04.610] Share each day with me
[13:09.040]
[13:09.780] each night,
[13:11.090]
[13:12.160] each morning...
[13:14.900]
[13:17.260] You alone can make my song take flight -
[13:25.870]
[13:27.310] it's over now, the music of the night!
