❛ My power over you grows stronger yet. ❜ ❛ Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind. ❜ ❛ Your part is silent, little toad! ❜ ❛ Perhaps it is you who are the toad… ❜ ❛ Flattering child, you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide! ❜ ❛ Seal my fate tonight. ❜ ❛ I hate to have to cut the fun short, but the joke’s wearing thin. ❜ ❛ Let the audience in. ❜ ❛ God, give me courage to show you you are not alone! ❜ ❛ Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? ❜ ❛ I heard as I’d never heard before. ❜ ❛ What you heard was a dream and nothing more. ❜ ❛ Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore… ❜ ❛ That voice which calls to me and speaks my name. ❜   ❛ And do I dream again? ❜ ❛ You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge. ❜ ❛ I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge. ❜ ❛ In your mind you’ve already sucummed to me. ❜   ❛ Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. ❜ ❛ Past the point of no return. ❜ ❛ What raging fire shall flood the soul? ❜ ❛ What rich desires unlock its door? ❜   ❛ What sweet seductions lie before us? ❜ ❛ Those who have seen your face draw back in fear. ❜ ❛ Did you think that I had left you for good? ❜ ❛ Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair! ❜ ❛ You’ve past the point of no return. ❜ ❛ You try my patience make your choice. ❜ ❛ I gave you my mind blindly. ❜ ❛ Wandering child, so lost, so helpless, yearning for my guidance. ❜ ❛ Have you forgotten your Angel? ❜ ❛ Wildly my mind beats against you… ❜ ❛ Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigne. ❜ ❛ Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. ❜ ❛ Can I ever forget that sight? ❜ ❛ Can I ever escape from that face? ❜ ❛ Past the point of no return - no going back now. ❜ ❛ When will the flames, at last, consume us? ❜ ❛ When will the blood begin to race? ❜ ❛ I remember… there was mist. ❜ ❛ Who was that shape in the shadows? ❜ ❛ Whose is that face in the mask? ❜ ❛ Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon! ❜ ❛ Is this what you wanted to see? Curse you! ❜ ❛ Now you cannot ever be free! ❜ ❛ Come. We must return. ❜ ❛ Those two fools who run my theater will be missing you. ❜ ❛ No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere! ❜ ❛ Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime. ❜ ❛ Lead me, save me from my solitude. ❜ ❛ Say you’ll want me with you here beside you. ❜ ❛ Anywhere you go, let me go too. ❜ ❛ Can you even dare to look or bear to think of me? ❜ ❛ Have you no pity? ❜ ❛ Your lover makes a passionate plea. ❜ ❛ Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world! ❜ ❛ Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before! ❜ ❛ Only then can you belong to me… ❜   ❛ You alone can make my song take flight. ❜ ❛ It’s over now, the music of the night. ❜ ❛ Twisted every way, what answer can I give? ❜ ❛ Say you love him/her, and my life is over! ❜ ❛ Now, let it be war upon you both! ❜ ❛ See you later, because I’m going now. ❜ ❛ This haunted face holds no horror for me now. ❜ ❛ It’s in your soul that the true distortion lies. ❜ ❛ For the past three years, these things do happen! ❜ ❛ And did you stop them from happening? No! ❜ ❛ Why have you brought me here? ❜ ❛ We can’t go back there. ❜ ❛ I can’t escape from him/her/them… ❜ ❛ Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! ❜ ❛ Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death! ❜ ❛ Go now, don’t let them find you. ❜ ❛ I fought so hard to free you! ❜   ❛ Say you love me. ❜ ❛ Your chains are still mine! You belong to me! ❜ ❛ Wait! I think my dear, we have a guest. ❜ ❛ I had rather hoped that you would come. ❜ ❛ Free him/her! Do what you like only free him/her! ❜ ❛ Does that mean nothing I love him/her! Show some compassion! ❜ ❛ The world showed no compassion to me! ❜ ❛ Did you think that I would harm him/her? ❜ ❛ Too late for prayers and useless pity! ❜ ❛ You little demon - is this what you wanted to see? ❜ ❛ Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend. ❜ ❛ Look around, there’s another mask behind you! ❜ ❛ Please promise me that sometimes, you will think… of me! ❜ ❛ Where in the world have you been hiding? ❜ ❛ I only wish I knew your secret. ❜ ❛ Who is your great tutor? ❜ ❛ Why you spray on my chin all the time, huh? ❜ ❛ The final threshold! ❜ ❛ They say that this youth has set my lady’s heart aflame! ❜ ❛ Go away, for the trap is set and waits for its prey! ❜ ❛ There is no phantom of the opera. ❜ ❛ Look, your future bride! Just think of it! ❜ ❛ Please don’t, they’ll see. ❜ ❛ But why is it secret? What have we to hide? ❜ ❛ It’s an engagement, not a crime! ❜
