Twisted Every Way

Twisted Every Way
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
We're listening
Go on
We shall play his game
Perform his work, but remember we hold the ace
For, if Ms. Daaé sings, he is certain to attend

We are certain the doors are barred
We are certain the police are there
We are certain they're armed
The curtain falls, his reign will end
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
You said yourself—he was nothing but a man
Yet while he lives, he will haunt us 'til we're dead
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?

Christine, Christine, don't think that I don't care
But every hope, and every prayer rests on you now
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!
