About phantom of the opera?

the song "Down Once More" where christine, erik, and raoul all sing at once, could anyone separate each part in separate sections? ive seen too many sites where they try to put all the words in together like its being sung and its so confusing! 10 points to best answer!

Hope this makes alittle more sense :)



Phantom Of The Opera Down Once More/track Down This Murderer



(Carrying a torch, forcefully and angrily pulling Christine along)



Phantom: Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair



Down we plunge to the prison of my mind Down that path into darkness,



deep as HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Why, you ask,



was I bound and chained



in this cold and dismal place?



Not for any mortal sin



but the wickedness of my abhorrent face



Mob:



Track down this murderer



He must be found



Hunt down this murderer



He must be found



Phantom:



(Carrying Christine out of the boat)



Hounded out by everyone (Putting her down)



Met with hatred everywhere



No kind words from anyone



No compassion anywhere (Forcing her to look at him)



[Spoken] Christine.



Why, why . . .?



(RAOUL and GIRY appear above. They make their way down, meeting a pack of rats. GIRY screams and lowers her guard. The rats and the RATCATCHER pass them. GIRY raises her hand again)



Madame Giry:



Keep your hand at the level of your eyes



Raoul:



Your hand at the level of your eyes



Mob:



Your hand at the level of your eyes



Madame Giry [Spoken]:



This is as far as I dare go



Raoul:



Thank you.



(She turns to go back up the slope. RAOUL looks at the water. He removes his coat and plunges in. The MOB appears at the top of the slope. They come down to the lake edge, their torches flickering. Raoul goes through all the traps of the labyrinth underground. Swims through the waters, breaks through gates, turns every wheel, everything)



Beyond the lake/The Phantom's lair



(The Phantom is sitting down looking at the ring)



Christine:



Have you gorged yourself (Phantom looks up at her) at last



in your lust for blood?



Am I now to be prey



to your lust for flesh?



Phantom:



(Coldly) That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood



Has also denied me the joys of the flesh...



This face, the infection which poisons our love . . .



(He takes the bridal veil from the dummy, and moves slowly towards her)



This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing



A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing



(He places the veil on her head)



Pity comes too late



Turn around and face your fate



An eternity of THIS before your eyes (Puts the ring in her hand)



Christine:



This haunted face holds no horror for me now



(Raoul comes to the gate)



It's in your soul that the true distortion lies



Phantom:



Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest



Sir,



Christine (Spoken): Raoul!



Phantom:



this is indeed an unparalleled delight



I had rather hoped that you would come



And now my wish comes true (Holds Christine close)



You have truly made my night!



Christine [spoken]:



Let me go!



Raoul:



(pleading, grasping the bars of the gate)



Free her



Do what you like, only free her



Have you no pity?



Phantom:



(To Christine, dryly) Your lover makes a passionate plea



Christine:



Please, Raoul, it's useless



Raoul:



I love her



Does that mean nothing?



I love her



Show some compassion



Phantom:



(snarls furiously at RAOUL)



The world showed no compassion to me!



Raoul:



Christine . . .



Christine . . .



(To Phantom) Let me see her



Phantom:



(Drily)



Be my guest, sir...



(He pulls the lever, opening the gate. Raoul enters)



Monsieur, I bid you welcome



Did you think that I would harm her?



(Reaches into the water and takes out something)



Why would I make her pay



for the sins which are YOURS?!!!



(The thing he pulled out of the water was the PunJab lasso. He lassos Raoul around the neck, choking him. As Raoul tries to escape, the Phantom forces him back and ties the lasso around the gate and tighter around Raoul's neck)



(Taunting)



Order your fine horses now



Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes



Nothing can save you now, except perhaps Christine



(to Christine)



Start a new life with me



Buy his freedom with your love!



Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!



This is the choice,



This is the point of no return!



Christine:



The tears I might have shed



for your dark fate,



Grow cold and turn to tears



of hate!!!



Raoul:



(Despairing)



Christine, forgive me, please forgive me



I did it all



for you, and all for



nothing . . .



Christine:



(Overlapping. Looking at the PHANTOM but to herself)



Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend



We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered



Phantom:



(Overlapping)



Too late for turning back, Too late for prayers and useless pity



Raoul:



(Overlapping)



Say you love me, and my life is over!



Phantom:



(Overlapping)



Past all hope of cries of help,



No point in fighting



For either way you choose, You cannot win



Raoul:



(Overlapping)



Either way you choose, he has to win



Phantom:



So do you end your days with me



Or do you send him to his GRAVE?



Raoul:



Why make her lie to you to save me?



Phantom:



(Overlapping)



Past the point of no return...



Christine:



(Overlapping)



Angel of Music . . .



Raoul:



(Overlapping)



For pity's sake, Christine, say no!



Christine:



(Overlapping)



Who deserved this?



Phantom:



(Overlapping)



The final threshold . . .



Raoul:



(Overlapping)



Don't throw your life away for my sake!



Phantom:



(Overlapping)



His life is now the prize which you must earn!



Christine:



(Overlapping)



Why do you curse mercy?



Raoul:



(Overlapping)



I fought so hard to free you . . .



Christine:



(Overlapping Just Phantom)



Angel of Music . . .



Phantom:



(Overlapping Just Christine)



You've passed the point of no return!



Christine:



. . . you deceived me



[spoken]I gave you my mind blindly



Phantom[spoken]:



You try my patience,



Make your choice!



(Pulls the rope, choking Raoul harder)



Christine:



(Moves slowly toward the Phantom)



(quietly at first, then with growing emotion)



Pitiful creature of darkness,



What kind of life have you known?



God give me courage to show you,



You are not alone...



(Kisses him long and full on the lips. The embrace lasts a long time. RAOUL watches in horror and wonder.)



Phantom:



(Breaths heavily)



(Then she leans toward him and embraces him again. But this time the kiss is long and deep. A lover's kiss)



Christine: (Kisses him again)



Phantom:



(Sobs as he breaths heavily)



Mob:



Track down this



murderer, he must be found!



Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!



(Mob continues to sing)



Phantom[spoken]:



(Walking away from Christine, up the stairs)



Take her, forget me,



Forget all of this . . .



Leave me alone - forget all you've seen . . .



(Christine begins to unlace Raoul)



Go now - don't let them find you!



Take the boat, swear to me, never to tell



The secret you know, of the angel in hell! (Raoul and Christine hug)



[sung]Go now - GO NOW and leave me!



(Raoul and Christine get in the boat)



(With music box as background melody)



(Sadly singing)



Masquerade



Paper faces on parade . . .



Masquerade



Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .



(He turns and sees Christine standing at the bedroom door. His look is of immense longing and helplessness) Christine, I love you....



(Christine puts the ring in his hand and exits. The Phantom holds the ring to his heart)



Christine (to Raoul, on the boat)



Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime



Raoul:



Say the word and I will follow you...



Christine: (Christine is looking back at the Phantom):



Share each day with me, each night, each morning...



Phantom:



(Looking after her, sadly)



You alone, can make my song take flight (Runs a bit down the stairs, and picks up a golden goblet) It's over now, the music of the (Furiously and sadly he smashes a mirror he sees his face in with the goblet) night!
