Down Once More / Track Down This Murderer

Down Once More / Track Down This Murderer - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德魯·勞埃德·韋伯)/"The Phantom Of The Opera" Original London Cast/Michael Crawford/Sarah Brightman (莎拉·布萊曼)/Steve Barton

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 to this cold and dismal place

Not for any mortal sin

But the wickedness of my abhorrent face

Track down this mur derer

He must be found

Hounded out by everyone

Met with hatred everywhere

No kind word from anyone

No compassion anywhere

Christine Christine

Why why

Your hand at the level of your eyes

at the level of your eyes

Your hand at the level of your eyes

Track down this murderer - He must be found

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

Have you gorged yourself at last

In your lust for blood

Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh

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

This haunted face holds no horror for me now

It's in your soul that the true distortion lies

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

Free her

Do what you like only free her

Have you no pity

Your lover makes a passionate plea

Please Raoul it's useless

I love her

Does that mean nothing I love her

Show some compassion

The world showed no compassion to me

Christine Christine

Let me see her

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 deat h

This is the choice -

This is the point of no return

The tears I might have shed for your dark fate

Grow cold and turn to tears of hate

Christine forgive me please forgive me

I did it all for you and all for nothing

Farewell my fallen idol and false friend

We had such hopes

But now these hopes lie murdered

Too late for turning back

Too late for prayers and useless pity

Say you love him and my life is over

Past all hope of cries for help: no point in fighting

Either way you choose he has to win

For either way you choose you cannot win

So do you end your days with me

Or do you send him to his grave

Why make her lie to you to save me

Angel of Music

Past the point of no return -

For pity's sake Christine say no

why this torment

the final threshold

Don't throw your life away for my sake

Why do you curse mercy

His life is now the prize which you must earn

I fought so hard to free you

Angel of Music

You've passed the point of no return

you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly

You try my patience - make your choice

Pitiful creature of darkness

What kind of life have you known

God give me courage to show you you are not alone

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

Who is this monster this murdering beast

Revenge for Piangi Revenge for Buquet

This creature must never go free

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 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

Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime

Say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me

each night

each morning

You alone can make my song take flight -

It's over now the music of the night
