Down once more/track down this murderer Lyricsby Webber Andrew Lloyd Buy album CD: Other Songs T - Y 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! PHANTOM Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere! No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere! Christine, Christine . . . Why, why . . .? GIRY Your hand at the level of your eyes! RAOUL . . . at the level of your eyes . . . MOB Your hand at the level of your eyes! MOB Track down this murderer - He must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he’s preyed on us - but now we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below . . . He’s here: the Phantom of the Opera . . . CHRISTINE Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh? PHANTOM (Coldly) 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, 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 (to CHRISTINE, dryly) 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 (snarls furiously at RAOUL) The world showed no compassion to me! RAOUL Christine . . . Christine . . . (to PHANTOM) Let me see her . . . PHANTOM (drily) Be my guest, sir . . Monsieur, I bid you welcome! Did you think that I would harm her? Why should 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 (to the PHANTOM) 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 . . . One by one I’ve watched illusions shattered . . . PHANTOM Past all hope of cries for help: no point in fighting - RAOUL Either way you choose, he has to win . . . PHANTOM For either way you choose, you cannot win! So, do you end your days with me, or do you send him to his grave? RAOUL (to PHANTOM) Why make her lie to you, to save me? CHRISTINE Angel of Music . . . PHANTOM Past the point of no return - RAOUL For pity’s sake, Christine, say no! CHRISTINE . . . why this torment? PHANTOM . . . the final threshold . . . RAOUL Don’t throw your life away for my sake . . . CHRISTINE When will you see reason . . .? PHANTOM His life is now the prize which you must earn! RAOUL I fought so hard to free you . . . CHRISTINE Angel of Music . . . PHANTOM You’ve passed the point of no return . . . CHRISTINE . . . you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly . . . PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE) 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 . . . MOB Some: Track down this murderer - he must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he’s preyed on us - but now we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below . . Others: Who is this monster, this murdering beast? Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet! This creature must never go free . . . 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 - leave me here - go now, don’t wait . . . Just take her and go - before it’s too late . . . Go . . . Go now - go now and leave me! Masquerade . . . Paper faces on parade . . . Masquerade . . . Hide your face so the world will never find you . . . Christine I love you.... CHRISTINE (to Raoul) Say you’ll share with me, one love, one lifetime . . . say the word and I will follow you . . RAOUL Share each day with me . . . CHRISTINE . . . each night . . . BOTH . . . each morning . . . PHANTOM You alone can make my song take flight - it’s over now, the music of the night . . .
