That night Carlotta sang as the Countess and Christine as the Pageboy at Il Muto. Raoul watched from Box Five although he knew that it's Phantom's seat. Suddenly Phantom voice was heard, "Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?" "He's here... the Phantom of the opera..." Meg screamed frightfully. "It's him... I know it... it's him..." Christine said. Carlotta claimed to Christine that it's not Christine's part to speak, "Your part is silent, little toad." Unluckily, Phantom heard her and said, "A toad, Madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad." When Carlotta continued her singing, suddenly she croacked like a toad instead of singing! Phantom laughed energetically and screamed, "Behold! She is singing to bring down the chandelier." Carlotta cried and went offstage. The performance in which Christine would replace Carlotta was continued by a ballet performance first. In the middle of it, the body of Joseph Buquet fell onto the stage. Christine callled Raoul and asked him to go to the roof. |

When Raoul and Christine were running to the rooftop, they passed a statue of 'La Victoire Ailee'. Christine was afraid of Phantom, scared that he would kill again while Raoul didn't believe that there existed such a thing. Christine really adored Phantom, how he sang, how he caressed her. Suddenly Phantom's voice was heard in the form of Raoul's voice's echo. Raoul then tried to comfort Christine. After promising that she would run away with Raoul the next day, Christine went back to the stage to replace Carlotta. Phantom heard their conversation and felt sad about her rejection towards him. In the middle of Christine's performance, the chandelier fell at Christine's feet. |

Raoul
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
Christine
Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Raoul
Let me be your shelter, let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
Christine
All I want is freedom, a world with no more night
And you always beside me to hold me and to hide me
Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Iet me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Both
Share each day with me, each night, each morning
Christine
Say you love me
Raoul
You know I do
Both
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Phantom (suddenly appearing)
I gave you my music
Made your song take wing
And now, how you've repaid me
Denied me and betrayed me
He was bound to love you when he heard you sing
Christine... Christine...
Raoul & Christine's voices
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
Phantom
You will curse the day you did not do
All that the Phantom asked of you!
Phantom
Go!!! |
