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.
