Lyrics of 'Why Have You Brought Me Here/ Raoul I've Been There' by Michael Ball

Raoul:
Why have you brought me here?

Christine:
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 . . .

Chrisitne:
The phantom of the opera will kill . . .

Raoul:
This phantom is a fable . . .
Believe me . . .

Christine:
. . . and kill again!

Raoul:
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:
Whose 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:
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
Filled my spirit
With a strange, sweet sound . . .
In that night
There was music
In my mind . . .
And through music
My soul began
To soar!
And i heard
As i'd 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 threaten
And adore . . .

Raoul:
Christine . . .
Christine. . .

Phantom:
Christine . . .
