Letra da Música Down Once More/ Track Down This Murder de The Phantom Of The Opera

Where did he take her?
Come with me, monsieur
I will take you to him
But remember, keep your hand at the level of your eyes
I'll go with you
No, Meg, you must stay here
Come with me, monsieur

No!

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

Track down this murderer
He must be found
Track down this murderer
He must be found

Hounded out by everyone
Met with hatred everywhere
No kind words from anyone
No compassion anywhere

Christine
Why, why . . .?

Your hand at the level of your eyes

Your hand at the level of your eyes

Your hand at the level of your eyes

This is as far as I dare go

Thank you

Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?

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

This haunted face holds no horror for me now
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies

Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest
Sir!
-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!

Let me go!

Free her
Do what you like, only free her
Have you no pity?

Your lover makes a passionate plea

Please, Raoul, it's useless

I love her
Does that mean nothing?
I love her
Show some compassion

The world showed no compassion to me!

Christine . . .
Christine . . .
Let me see her

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?

Order your fine horses now
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes
Nothing can save you now, except perhaps 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!

The tears I might have shed for your dark fate,
Grow cold and turn to tears of hate

Christine, forgive me, please forgive me
I did it all for you, and all for nothing . . .

Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered

Too late for turning back, Too late for prayers and useless pity

Say you love him, and my life is over!

All hope of cries for help,
No point in fighting
For either way you choose, You cannot win

Either way you choose, he has to win

So do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave?

Why make her lie to you to save me?

Angel of Music . . .
Past the point of no return...
Christine say no!
Don't throw your life away for my sake!

Who deserved this?

The final threshold . . .

His life is now the prize which you must earn!

Why do you curse mercy?

I fought so hard to free you . . .

Angel of Music . . .

You've passed the point of no return!

. . . you deceived me
I gave you my mind blindly

You try my patience,
Make your choice!

Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone...

Track down this murderer, he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!

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!

Go now - go now and leave me!

Masquerade
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .

Christine, I love you....

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me, each night, each morning...

You alone, can make my song take flight
It's over now, the music of the night
