The Labyrinth Underground (scene 4) Lyrics
(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 there
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/here
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.)
in dreams he came
that voice which calls to me
and speaks my name
For now I find
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside my mind
Sing once again with me
our strange duet
My power over you
grows stronger yet
to glance behind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear . . .
It's me they hear . . .
Your/my spirit and your/my voice,
in one combined:
the Phantom of the Opera is there
inside your/my mind . . .
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera ...
Beware the Phantom of the Opera ...
In all your fantasies,
you always knew
that man and mystery
were both in you
And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there/here
inside your/my mind
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera ...

hmm no comments...great song...best part of th whole movie....which was all great btw....but yea love it
OMG you people! this song is called The Phantom of the Opera! Do i have to correct you all?!?!?!
sorry for flipping out. I tend to do that alot when it comes to song names. anyway, for the first time they sing together, they both say 'my,' not one saying my and the other saying you, except for in your/my mind. also, only the phantom says sing my angel of music. and what offstage voices? do you hear voices? or maybe... hmm... i guess they might be voices, but the really don't sound like them...
interesting fact: this number is traditionally never sung live because they use body doubles to make them appear to move from one side of the stage to the other in an instant.
Emmy Rossum has such a beautiful voice.
I love this song and this movie. I would love to see it live.
