Wandering Child / Bravo, Monsieur

Lyrics

[The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross.] [PHANTOM] Wandering child So lost, so helpless Yearning for my guidance [CHRISTINE] Angel or father? Friend or phantom? Who is it there, staring? [PHANTOM] Have you forgotten your Angel? [CHRISTINE] Angel, oh, speak! What endless longings Echo in this whisper! [PHANTOM] Too long you've wandered in winter [RAOUL] Once again she is his [PHANTOM] Far from my far-reaching gaze [RAOUL] Once again she returns [CHRISTINE] Wildly my mind beats against you [PHANTOM, CHRISTINE] You resist, yet your soul obeys (Yet the soul obeys) [RAOUL] To the arms of her [PHANTOM, CHRISTINE] Angel of Music, you denied me (Angel of Music! I denied you) [RAOUL] Angel, Angel or demon? Still he calls her! [PHANTOM & CHRISTINE] Turning from true beauty [RAOUL] Luring her back from the ​grave [PHANTOM, CHRISTINE] Angel of Music! Do not shun me! (Angel of Music! My protector!) [RAOUL] Angel or dark seducer? [PHANTOM, CHRISTINE] Come to your strange Angel! (Come to me, strange Angel!) [RAOUL] Who are you, strange angel? [PHANTOM] I am your Angel of Music Come to me: Angel of Music [RAOUL] Angel of darkness, cease this torment! [PHANTOM] I am your Angel of Music Come to me: Angel of Music [RAOUL, spoken] Christine! Christine, listen to me! Whatever you may believe This man This thing Is not your father Let her go! For God's sake! Let her go! Christine! [CHRISTINE, spoken] Oh, Raoul! [PHANTOM, spoken] Bravo, Monsieur! Such spirited words! [RAOUL, spoken] More tricks, Monsieur? [PHANTOM, spoken] Let's see, Monsieur, how far you dare go! [RAOUL, spoken] More deception More violence [CHRISTINE, spoken] Raoul, no! [PHANTOM, spoken] That's right! That's right, Monsieur! Keep walking this way! [RAOUL, spoken] You can't win her love by making her your prisoner [CHRISTINE, spoken] Raoul! [RAOUL, spoken] No! Stay back! [PHANTOM, spoken] I'm here! I'm here, Monsieur: the angel of death! Come on! Come on, Monsieur! Don't stop! Don't stop! [CHRISTINE, spoken] Raoul! Come back! [PHANTOM, spoken] Don't go! So be it! Now let it be war upon you both! [CARLOTTA & ENSEMBLE] Here the sire may serve the dam Here the master takes his meat Here the sacrificial lamb Utters one despairing bleat Poor young maiden! For the thrill on your tongue of stolen sweets You will have to pay the bill Tangled in the winding sheets Serve the meal and serve the maid Serve the master so that when Tables, plans and maids are laid Don Juan triumphs once again [DON JUAN] Passarino, faithful friend Once again recite the plan [PASSARINO] Your young guest believes I'm you I the master, you the man [DON JUAN] When you met, you wore my cloak With my scarf you hid your face She believes she dines with me In her master's borrowed place Furtively we'll scoff and quaff Stealing what in truth is mine When it's late and modesty Starts to mellow with the wine [PASSARINO] You come home, I use your voice Slam the door like crack of doom [DON JUAN] I shall say, "Come, hide with me! Where, oh, where? Of course! My room" [PASSARINO] Poor thing hasn't got a chance! [DON JUAN] Here's my hat, my cloak and sword Conquest is assured If I do not forget myself and laugh [CHRISTINE as AMINTA] No thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy No dreams within her heart but dreams of love [PASSARINO] Master? [PHANTOM as DON JUAN] Passarino, go away! For the trap is set and waits for its prey You have come here In pursuit of your deepest urge In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent Silent I have brought you That our passions may fuse and merge In your mind you've already succumbed to me Dropped all defences, completely succumbed to me Now you are here with me No second thoughts You've decided Decided
