[RAOUL] We have all been blind— And yet the answer is staring us in the face This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend [ANDRE, spoken] We're listening [FIRMIN, spoken] Go on [RAOUL, sung] We shall play his game Perform his work, but remember we hold the ace For, if Ms. Daaé sings, he is certain to attend [ANDRE] We are certain the doors are barred [FIRMIN] We are certain the police are there [RAOUL] We are certain they're armed [FIRMIN/ANDRE/RAOUL] The curtain falls, his reign will end [CHRISTINE, spoken] Raoul, I'm frightened. Don't make me do this. It scares me. Don't put me through this ordeal by fire. He'll take me. I know. We'll be parted forever. He won't let me go. What I once used to dream, I now dread. If he finds me it won't ever end. (sung) And he'll always be there, singing songs in my head He'll always be there, singing songs in my head [RAOUL] You said yourself—he was nothing but a man Yet while he lives, he will haunt us 'til we're dead [CHRISTINE] Twisted every way, what answer can I give? Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live? Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice? He k**s without a thought. He murders all that's good I know I can't refuse, and yet, I wish I could Oh God, if I agree, what horrors wait for me In this, the Phantom's opera? [RAOUL] Christine, Christine, don't think that I don't care But every hope, and every prayer rests on you now [PHANTOM] Seal my fate tonight I hate to have to cut the fun short But the joke's wearing thin Let the audience in Let my opera begin!
