Original London Cast of The Phantom of the Opera
Why Have You Brought Me Here? / Raoul I’ve Been There
[RAOUL]
Why have you brought us here?
[CHRISTINE]
Don't take me back there!
[RAOUL]
We must return!
[CHRISTINE]
He'll kill me!
His eyes will find me there!
[RAOUL]
Christine, don't say that
[CHRISTINE]
Those eyes that burn!
[RAOUL]
Don't even think it
[CHRISTINE]
And if he has to kill a thousand men
[RAOUL]
Forget this waking nightmare
[CHRISTINE]
The Phantom of the Opera will kill and kill again!
[RAOUL]
This Phantom is a fable
Believe me
There is no Phantom of the Opera
[CHRISTINE, RAOUL]
My God, who is this man
My God, who is this man
Who hunts to kill?
This mask of death?
I can't escape from him
Whose is this voice you hear
I never will!
With every breath?
[CHRISTINE & RAOUL]
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here
[CHRISTINE, RAOUL]
Inside my mind
Inside your mind
[RAOUL]
There is no Phantom of the Opera
[CHRISTINE]
Raoul, I've been there
To his world of unending night
To a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness
Darkness
Raoul, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face
In that darkness
Darkness
But his voice filled my spirit
With a strange, sweet sound
In that night, there was music in my mind
And through music, my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before
[RAOUL]
What you heard was a dream and nothing more
[CHRISTINE]
Yet in his eyes
All the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes
That both threaten and adore
[RAOUL]
Christine, Christine
[PHANTOM]
Christine
[CHRISTINE, whispered]
What was that?
