Emmy Rossum Lyrics

*  Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer

[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! 

[All (in distance):]
Track down this murderer, he must be found! 
Track 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? 

[Madame Giry:] Your hand at the level of your eyes 
[Raoul (Echoed):] At the level of you eyes 
[Choir (Echoed):] 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 mothers fear and loathing 
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing 
Pity comes to 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! 

Monseuir 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:]
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 
We had such hopes and now those hopes are shattered! 

[Phantom:]
Too late for turning back 
Too late for prayers and useless pity 

[Raoul:]
Say you love him and my life is over 

[Phantom:]
Among all cries for help, no point in fighting 

[Phantom and Raoul:]
For either way you choose. you cannot/he has to win 

[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? 

[Christine:]
Angel of music, who deserves this? 
Why do you curse mercy? 

[Phantom:]
Past the point of no return. Final threshold 
His life is the prize which you must earn 

[Raoul:]
For pity's sake Christine say no 
Don't throw your life away for my sake 
I fought so hard to free you 

[Phantom:] You've past the point of no return 
[Christine:] Angel of music, you decieved me 
[Christine (Spoken):] I gave you my mind blindly 

[Phantom:]
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! 

[All (in distance):]
Track down this murderer, he must be found! 
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! 
Too long he's preyed on us, but know we know 
The Phantom of the Opera is there, deep down below 

[Phantom (Spoken):]
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, swear to me never to tell 
The secret you know, of the angel in hell! 

[Phantom:] 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 (in distance):]
Say you'll share with me 
One love one lifetime 

[Raoul (in distance):]
Say the word and 
I will follow you 

[Christine (in distance):]
Share each day with me 
Each night, each morning 

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