Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer Lyrics
Artist Phantom Of The Opera Lyrics
Song Title Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer
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
Mob:
Track down this murderer
He must be found
Phantom:
Hounded out by everyone
Met with hatred everywhere
No kind words from anyone
No compassion anywhere
Christine,
[Spoken]Why, why . . .?
Madame Giry:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Raoul:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Mob:
Your hand at the level of your eyes
Madame Giry [Spoken]:
This is as far as I dare go
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 [Christine, spoken: Raoul!] 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]:
Let me go!
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 would I make her pay
for the sins which are yours?
(catches Raoul with his noose)
Order your fine horses now
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes
Nothing can save you now, except perhaps Christine
(to 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 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 . . .
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:
All hope of cries of help,
No point in fighting
For either way you choose, You cannot win
Raoul:
Either way you choose, he has to win
Phantom:
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?
Phantom:
Past the point of no return...
Christine:
Angel of Music . . .
Raoul:
For pity's sake, Christine say no!
Christine:
Who deserved this?
Phantom:
The final threshold . . .
Raoul:
Don't throw your life away for my sake!
Phantom:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!
Christine:
Why do you curse mercy?
Raoul:
I fought so hard to free you . . .
Christine:
Angel of Music . . .
Phantom:
You've passed the point of no return!
Chrstine:
. . . you deceived me
[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...
(Kisses him)
Mob:
Track down this
murderer, he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
(Mob continues to sing)
Phantom[spoken]:
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!
[sung]Go now - go now and leave me!
(they leave)
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .
(Christine Hands him her ring)
Christine, I love you....
Christine (to Raoul, on the boat):
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!
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
Mob:
