We Have All Been Blind - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Patrick Wilson, Simon Callow

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

Andre:

We’re listening…

Firmin:

Go on.

Raoul:

We shall play his game

Perform his work, but remember we hold the ace

For if Miss Daae sings

He is certain to attend

Andre:

We are certain the doors are barred

Firmin:

We are certain the police are there

Raoul:

We are certain they’re armed

Raoul/Andre/Firmin:

The curtain falls

His reign will end!

Christine:

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.

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 joke’s wearing thin

Let the audience in

Let my opera begin!
