Down Once More .../Track Down This Murderer (Live At The Royal Albert Hall/2011) - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Charles Hart/Richard Stilgoe

Composed by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Charles Hart/Richard Stilgoe

Down once more to the dungeon 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

Hounded out by everyone

Met with hatred everywhere

No kind words from anyone

No compassion anywhere

Christine

Christine why why

Your hand at the level of your eyes

At the level of your eyes

Your hand at the level of your eyes

At the level of your eyes

He lives across the lake Monsieur

This is as far as I dare go

Madame Giry thank you

Track down this murderer

He must be found

Track down this murderer

He must be found

Hunt out this animal

Who runs to ground

Too long he's preyed on us

But now we know

The Phantom of the Opera is there

The Phantom of the Opera is there

Deep down below

He's here the Phantom of the Opera

He's here the Phantom of the Opera

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 this 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

Raoul

Sir this is indeed

An unparalleled delight

I had rather hoped

That you would come

No

And now my wish comes true

You have truly made my night

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 should 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

Past 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

Past the point of no return

Angel of Music

For pity's sake Christine say no

Who deserves this

The final threshold

Don't throw your life away for my sake

Why do you curse mercy

His life is now the prize

Which you must earn

I fought so hard to free you

Angel of Music

You've passed the point of no return

You deceived me

I gave 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

Take her forget me

Forget all of this

Who is this monster this murdering beast

Hunt out this animal who runs to ground

Leave me alone

Forget all you've seen

Go now don't let them find you

Revenge for Piangi

Revenge for Buquet

Take the boat

Swear to me never to tell

Too long he's preyed on us but now we know

The secret you know

This creature must never go free

The Phantom of the Opera is there

Of the angel in Hell

Go

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
