Why Have You Brought Me Here? / Raoul I've Been There Lyrics

Why have you brought me here? (We can't go back there)
We must return (he'll kill you)
His eyes will find us there (Christine, don't say that)
Those eyes that burn (don't even think it!)

He has to kill a thousand men (forget this waking nightmare)
The Phantom of the Opera will kill (this phantom is a fable)
Believe me (and kill again)
There is no Phantom of the Opera

My God, who is this man (my God, who is this man?)
Who hunts to kill? (This mask of death?)
I can't escape from him (whose is this voice you hear)
I never will (with every breath?)

And in this labyrinth, where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here (there)
Inside my (your) mind
There is no Phantom of the Opera

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 the 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
(What you heard was a dream and nothing more)

Yet in his eyes, all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore
Christine, Christine, (Christine)
