Scene 4
THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND
 
(The PHANTOM and CHRISTINE take their 
strange journey to the PHANTOM'S lair. Candles 
rise from the stage. We see CHRISTINE and the 
PHANTOM in a boat which moves slowly across 
the misty waters of the underground lake)
 
CHRISTINE
In sleep
he sang to me,
in dreams
he came . . .
that voice
which calls to me
and speaks
my name . . .
 
And do
I dream again?
For now
I find
the Phantom of the Opera
is there -
inside my mind . . .
 
PHANTOM
Sing once
again with me
our strange
duet . . .
My power
over you
grows stronger
yet . . .
 
And though
you turn from me,
to glance
behind,
the Phantom of the Opera
is there -
inside your mind . . .
 
CHRISTINE
Those who
have seen your face
draw back
in fear . . .
I am
the mask you wear . . .
 
PHANTOM
 
It's me
they hear . . .
 
BOTH
Your/my spirit
and your/my voice,
in one
combined:
the Phantom of the Opera
is thereQ
inside your/my mind . . .
 
OFFSTAGE VOICES
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
Beware
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
 
PHANTOM
In all
your fantasies,
you always
knew
that man
and mystery . . .
 
CHRISTINE
. . . were both
in you . . .
 
BOTH
And in
this labyrinth,
where night
is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera
is there/hereQ
inside your/my mind . . .
 
Sing, my Angel of Music!
 
CHRISTINE
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
 
(She begins to vocalise strangely, her song becoming 
more and more extravagant.)
