Mob Life歌詞

Phantom of the Opera
-- Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer
PHANTOM:
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 & chained in this cold & dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
MOB: Track down this murderer! He must be found!
PHANTOM:
Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere!
Christine, Christine...
Why, why...?
GIRY: Your hand at the level of your eyes!
RAOUL:... at the level of your eyes...
MOB: Your hand at the level of your eyes!
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 deep down below...
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera...
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera...
CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
PHANTOM:
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...
(He takes the bridal veil and moves slowly towards her)
This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing...
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing...
(He places the veil on her head)
Pity comes too late - turn around and face your fate:
an eternity of this before your eyes!
(They are almost touching. She looks coldly into his face)
CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now...
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies...
(RAOUL climbs out of the water)
PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
Sir, 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!
RAOUL (pleading, grasping the bars of the gate)
Free her!
Do what you like only free her!
Have you no pity?
PHANTOM: Your lover makes a passionate plea!
CHRISTINE: Please, Raoul, it's useless...
RAOUL: I love her!
Does that mean nothing? I love her!
Show some compassion...
PHANTOM: The world showed no compassion to me!
RAOUL: Christine...Christine...Let me see her...
PHANTOM: Be my guest, sir . .
(He gestures, and the fence rises. RAOUL enters)
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?
(he takes the Punjab lasso and catches him by the neck)
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine...
(He turns to her)
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!
CHRISTINE:
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate
grow cold, and turn to tears of hate...
RAOUL: Christine, forgive me please forgive me...
I did it all for you, and all for nothing...
CHRISTINE: Farewell my fallen idol and false friend...
One by one I've watched illusions shattered...
PHANTOM: Past all hope of cries for help, no point in fighting
RAOUL: Either way you choose, he has to win...
PHANTOM: For either way you choose, you cannot win!
So, do you end your days with me,
or do you send him to his grave?
RAOUL: Why make her lie to you, to save me?
CHRISTINE: Angel of Music...
PHANTOM: Past the point of no return -
RAOUL: For pity's sake, Christine, say no!
CHRISTINE:...why this torment?
PHANTOM:...the final threshold...
RAOUL: Don't throw your life away for my sake...
CHRISTINE: When will you see reason...?
PHANTOM: His life is now the prize which you must earn!
RAOUL: I fought so hard to free you...
CHRISTINE: Angel of Music...
PHANTOM: You've passed the point of no return...
CHRISTINE:...you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly...
PHANTOM: You try my patience - make your choice!
CHRISTINE: (moves slowly towards the PHANTOM)
Pitiful creature of darkness...
What kind of life have you known...?
God give me courage to show you
you are not alone...
(she kisses him long and full on the lips)
MOB:
Track down this murderer - he must be found!
PHANTOM: forget me - forget all of this...
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen...
MOB: Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
PHANTOM: Go now - don't let them find you!
Take the boat - leave me here. Go now, don't wait -
MOB: Too long he's preyed on us - but now we know:
PHANTOM: Just take her and go - before it's too late...Go...
MOB: the Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below . .
PHANTOM: Go now - go now and leave me!
(RAOUL and CHRISTINE move off towards the boat)
(The musical box starts up magically)
PHANTOM:
Masquerade...Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade...
Hide your face so the world will never find you...
(CHRISTINE re-enters and walks slowly towards him)
(She takes off her ring and gives it to the PHANTOM)
PHANTOM: Christine, I love you...
(She went off to RAOUL, The PHANTOM puts the ring on)
CHRISTINE:
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
RAOUL: Share each day with me...
CHRISTINE: ...each night...
BOTH: ...each morning...
PHANTOM:
You alone can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the night...

曾經在某音樂劇論壇上看到
有人不解於Phantom態度的突然轉變
(看來不是每個人都能弄到劇本的……|||)
於是決定，做歌詞，花了一個小時
只是希望能夠讓更多的人了解
Phantom背後的故事
