Andrew Lloyd Webber - Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer (Film Version) lyrics

[PHANTOM] Down once more to the dungeons 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! [ENSEMBLE] 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 compa**ion anywhere! Christine... Why? Why? [MADAME GIRY] Your hand at the level of your eyes! (echoing) ... at the level of your eyes ... Your hand at the level of your eyes Your hand at the level of your eyes [Special Edition: Instrumental interlude] [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 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! [CHRSTINE] 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! [CHRISTINE, spoken (Special Edition only)] Let me go [RAOUL] Free her! Do what you like, only free her! Have you no pity? [PHANTOM] Your lover makes a pa**ionate plea! [CHRISTINE] Please Raoul, it's useless! [RAOUL] I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her! Show some compa**ion... [PHANTOM] The world showed no compa**ion to me! [RAOUL] Christine, Christine Let me see her... [PHANTOM] Be my guest, sir... Monsieur, 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 d**h! 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 Say you love him And my life is ​over Either way you choose He has to win Why make her lie to you, to save me? For pity's sake, Christine, say no! Don't throw your life away for my sake! I fought so hard to free you... [CHRISTINE] Farewell my fallen idol and false friend We has such hopes, and how those hopes are shattered! Angel of Music... Who ​deserves this? When ​will you see reason? Angel ​of ​Music, you deceived me [PHANTOM] Too late for ​turning back ​Too late for prayers and useless pity! All hope of cries for help No point in fighting! For either way you choose You cannot win! So, do you end your days with me Or do you send him to his grave? Past the point of ​no return The final ​threshold His life ​is now the prize which you must earn! You've pa**ed the point of ​no return... [CHRISTINE, spoken] I gave you my mind, blindly [PHANTOM, spoken] 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 [Instrumental interlude] [ENSEMBLE] 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 inside! [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, swear to me, never to tell The secret you know, of the Angel in hell Go now! Go now, and leave me! [PHANTOM] Masquerade Paper faces on parade Masquerade Hide your face, so the world will never find you Christine, I love you... [CHRISTINE] Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime [RAOUL] Say the word and I will follow you [CHRISTINE] 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!
