We Have All Been Blind Songtext / Lyric

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(spoken):

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.



(sung)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!
