[Flame] 🔥 Andrew Lloyd Webber - Why Have You Brought Me Here? / Raoul I’ve Been There Lyrics

[RAOUL]
Why have you brought me here?

[CHRISTINE]
We 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

[Stage Version:]
Why have you brought us here?
Don’t take me back there!
He’ll kill me!
His eyes will find me there!

[CHRISTINE]
The Phantom
​of the Opera will kill
And kill
​again!
My God, who is
​this man
Who hunts to kill?
I can’t escape
​from him
I never will!
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here
Inside my mind

[RAOUL]
This Phantom is a fable
Believe me
There is no Phantom of the Opera
My God, who is
​this man
This mask of death?
Whose is this voice you
​hear, with every breath?
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your 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

[CHRISTINE, Stage Version only]
What was that?
