Lyrics
Why have you brought us here?
Don't take me back there, you'll kill me
We must return
His eyes will find me there
Christine, don't say that
Those eyes that burn and if he has to kill a thousand men
Don't even think it
Forget this waking nightmare
The phantom of the opera will kill and kill again
This phantom is a fable, believe me
There is no phantom of the opera
My god, who is this man? Who hunts to kill
This mask of death
I can't escape from him, I never will
Whose is this voice you hear?
With every breath
And in this labyrinth where night is blind
The phantom of the opera is here, inside my mind
There is no phantom of the opera
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
What you heard was a dream and nothing more
Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore
Christine, Christine
(Christine)
What is that?
