phantom of the opera - masquerade lyrics
chorus
masquerade!
paper faces on parade . . .
masquerade!
hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
masquerade!
every face a different shade . . .
masquerade!
look around –
there’s another
mask behind you!
flash of mauve . . .
splash of puce . . .
fool and king . . .
ghoul and goose . . .
green and black . . .
queen and priest . . .
trace of rouge . . .
face of beast . . .
faces . . .
take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
eye of gold . . .
thigh of blue . . .
true is false . . .
who is who . . .?
curl of lip . . .
swirl of gown . . .
ace of hearts . . .
face of clown . . .
faces . . .
drink it in, drink it up,
till you’ve drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
raoul/christine
but who can name the face . . .?
all
masquerade!
grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
masquerade!
take your fill –
let the spectacle
astound you!
masquerade!
burning glances,
turning heads . . .
masquerade!
stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
masquerade!
seething shadows
breathing lies . . .
masquerade!
you can fool
any friend who
ever knew you!
masquerade!
leering satyrs,
peering eyes . . .
masquerade!
run and hide –
but a face will
still pursue you!
giry
what a night
meg
what a crowd!
andre
makes you glad!
firmin
makes you proud!
all the creme
de la creme!
carlotta
watching us watching them!
meg/glry
and all our fears
are in the past!
andre
six months…
piangi
of relief!
carlotta
of delight!
andre/firmin
of elysian peace!
meg/giry
and we can breathe at last!
carlotta
no more notes!
piangi
no more ghost!
giry
here’s a health!
andre
here’s a toast:
to a prosperous year!
firmin
to the new chandelier!
piangi/carlotta
and may its
splendour never fade!
firmin
six months!
giry
what a joy!
meg
what a change!
firmin/andre
what a blessed release!
andre
and what a masquerade!
christine
think of it!
a secret engagement!
look – your future bride!
just think of it!
raoul
but why is it secret?
what have we to hide?
christine
please, let’s not fight . . .
raoul
christine, you’re free!
christine
wait till the time is right . . .
raoul
when will that be?
it’s an engagement,
not a crime!
christine,
what are you
afraid of?
christine
let’s not argue . . .
raoul
let’s not argue . . .
christine
please pretend . . .
raoul
i can only hope i’ll . . .
christine
you will . . .
both
. . . understand
in time . . .
all
masquerade!
paper faces on parade!
masquerade!
hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
masquerade!
every face a different shade!
masquerade!
look around –
there’s another
mask behind you!
masquerade!
burning glances,
turning heads . . .
masquerade!
stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
masquerade!
grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
masquerade!
take your fill –
let the spectacle
astound you
phantom
why so silent, good messieurs?
did you think that i had left you for good?
have you missed me, good messieurs?
i have written you an opera!
here i bring the finished score –
“don juan triumphant”!
i advise you
to comply –
my instructions
should be clear –
remember
there are worse things
than a shattered chandelier . . .
your chains are still mine –
you will sing for me!
