Why Have You Brought Me Here

Lyricist:     Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber

RAOUL
Why have you brought me here?

CHRISTINE
Can't take me back there!

RAOUL
We must return!

CHRISTINE
He'll kill me!

RAOUL
But still now...

CHRISTINE
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...

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 my/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
What was that?
