We Have All Been Blind
[Raoul]
We have all been blind and yet the answer is staring
us in the face.
This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend.
[Firmin and Andre]
We're listening. Go on.
[Raoul]
We shall play his game, perform his work, but remember
we hold the ace.
For if Ms. Daae sings, he is certain to attend.
[Firmin/Andre]
We are certain the doors are barred.
We are certain the police are there.
[Raoul]
We are certain they're armed.
[Firmin/Andre/Raoul]
The curtain falls, his reign will end.
[Christine (speaking)]
Raoul I'm frightened. Don't make me do this. It scares
me.
Don't put me through this ordeal by fire.
He'll take me. I know. We'll be parted forever. He
won't let me go.
What I once used to dream, I now dread. If he finds me
it won't ever end.
(singing)
And he'll always be there singing songs in my head.
He'll always be there singing songs in my head.
[Raoul]
You said yourself he was nothing but a man,
yet while he lives he will haunt us 'til we're dead.
[Christine]
Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought. He murders all that's
good.
I know I can't refuse, and yet I wish I could.
Oh God, if I agree what horrors wait for me, in this,
the Phantom's opera?
[Raoul]
Christine, Christine don't think that I don't care,
but every hope, and every prayer rests on you now.
[Phantom]
Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun
short.
But the jokes wearing thin, let the audience in, let
my opera begin.
