Textes et Paroles de Down Once More Track Down This Murderer (The Phantom Of The Opera)

PHANTOM
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
in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any
mortal sin, but the
wickedness of
my abhorrent face!

MOB
Track down this murderer!
He must be found!

PHANTOM
Hounded out by
everyone!
Met with hatred
everywhere!
No kind word from
anyone!
No compassion
anywhere!

Christine, Christine...
Why, why...?

GIRY
Your hand at the level of your
eyes!

RAOUL
..at the level of your eyes...

MOB
Your hand at the level of your
eyes!

MOB
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...

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!

CHRISTINE
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, 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!

RAOUL
Free her!
Do what you like,
only free her!
Have you no pity?

PHANTOM
Your lover makes
a passionate plea!

CHRISTINE
Please, Raoul, it's useless...

RAOUL
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion...

PHANTOM
The world showed no
compassion 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 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 death!
This is your 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...
*
*CHRISTINE
*Farewell,
*my fallen idol
*and false friend...
*One by one
*I've watched
*illusions shattered...
*
*PHANTOM
*Too late for
*turning back,
*too late for
*prayers and
*useless pity...

*RAOUL
*Say you love him,
*and my
*life is over!
*
*PHANTOM
*Past all hope
*of cries for help:
*no point in fighting -

*RAOUL
*Either way
*you choose,
*he has to win...
*
*PHANTOM
*For either way
*you choose,
*you cannot win!

So, do you end
your days with me,
or do you send
him to his grave?

RAOUL
Why make her lie
to you, to save
me?

*CHRISTINE
*Angel of Music...
*
*PHANTOM
*Past the point
*of no return -
*
*RAOUL
*For pity's sake,
*Christine, say no!

*CHRISTINE
*...why this torment?
*
*PHANTOM
*...the final threshold...
*
*RAOUL
*Don't throw your life
*away for my sake...

*CHRISTINE
*When will you see
*reason...?
*
*PHANTOM
*His life is now the prize
*which you must earn!
*
*RAOUL
*I fought so hard
*to free you...

*CHRISTINE
*Angel of Music...
*
*PHANTOM
*You've passed the point
*of no return...

CHRISTINE
..you deceived me -
I gave my mind
blindly...

PHANTOM
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...

MOB
(some:)
*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...
*
*(others:)
*Who is this monster,
*this murdering beast?
*Revenge for Piangi!
*Revenge for Buquet!
*This creature
*must never go free...
*
*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 - leave me here -
*go now,
*don't wait...
*Just take her and go - before it's
*too late...
*Go...
Go now - go now and leave me!

Masquerade...
Paper facer 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...
say the world
and I will follow you...

RAOUL
Share each day with me...

CHRISTINE
..each night...

BOTH
..each morning...

PHANTOM
You alone
can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the
night
