The Phantom Of The Opera Lyrics

The Phantom Of The Opera lyrics

THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND

(The PHANTOM and CHRISTINE take their 

strange journey to the PHANTOM'S lair. Candles 

rise from the stage. We see CHRISTINE and the 

PHANTOM in a boat which moves slowly across 

the misty waters of the underground lake)

CHRISTINE

In sleep

he sang to me,

in dreams

he came . . .

that voice

which calls to me

and speaks

my name . . .

And do

I dream again?

For now

I find

the Phantom of the Opera

is there -

inside my mind . . .

PHANTOM

Sing once

again with me

our strange

duet . . .

My power

over you

grows stronger

yet . . .

And though

you turn from me,

to glance

behind,

the Phantom of the Opera

is there -

inside your mind . . .

CHRISTINE

Those who

have seen your face

draw back

in fear . . .

I am

the mask you wear . . .

PHANTOM

It's me

they hear . . .

BOTH

Your/my spirit

and your/my voice,

in one

combined:

the Phantom of the Opera

is there

inside your/my mind . . .

OFFSTAGE VOICES

He's there,

the Phantom of the Opera . . .

Beware

the Phantom of the Opera . . .

PHANTOM

In all

your fantasies,

you always

knew

that man

and mystery . . .

CHRISTINE

. . . were both

in you . . .

BOTH

And in

this labyrinth,

where night

is blind,

the Phantom of the Opera

is there/here

inside your/my mind . . .

Sing, my Angel of Music!

CHRISTINE

He's there,

the Phantom of the Opera . . .

(She begins to vocalise strangely, her song becoming 

more and more extravagant
