"Why Have You Brought Me Here" Lyrics

Raoul
Why have you brought me here

Christine
We can't go back there

Raoul
We must return

Christine
He'll kill you
His eyes will find us 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 and kill again

Raoul
This phantom is a fable believe me
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
Who's 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/there
Inside your/my 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 held my spirit with a strange sweet sound
In the night there was music in my mind
And through music my soul began to soar
And I heard as I've 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 threatened and adored

Raoul
Christine
Christine

Phantom echoes
Christine
