Why Have You Brought Me Here?/ Raoul, I've Been There Text

---

Raoul:
Why have you brought me here?

Christine:
Can't go back there!

Raoul:
We must return!

Christine:
He'll kill you!
His eyes will find us 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...

Chrisitne:
The Phantom of the Opera will kill...

Raoul:
This phantom is a fable...
Believe me...

Christine:
... and kill again!

Raoul:
There is no Phantom of the Opera...

Christine:
My God, who is this man...

Raoul:
My God, who is this man...

Christine:
... who hunts to kill...?

Raoul:
... this mask of death...?

Christine:
I can't escape from him...

Raoul:
Whose is this voice you hear...

Christine:
...I never will!

Raoul:
... with every breath...?

Both:
And in this
labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here:
inside your/my 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...
