Author's note: Just a warning, it gets a little confusing towards the end of the song because there is one line where there normally would be singing that is replaced by the characters actions instead. You'll see it. It's marked with an asterisk.

The scenario here is pretty much the same as it is in the musical, with Daroga simply following Erik down to his lair, gondola and all. No romance (unless you want there to be) and no hypnotism needed.

Again, I own nothing.


Chapter 2: The Phantom of the Opera

(Daroga)

Beneath the opera house,

I know he's there

I'm haunted by his face,

And the past we share

And now I realize

His dark charade

The Phantom of the Opera is just

His masquerade

(Erik)

Hello again, my friend

We meet once more

Our destinies collide

Like years before

And since you know the truth,

Don't be afraid

The Phantom of the Opera's indeed

My masquerade

(Daroga)

The genius you possess

Can't be denied

But underneath your mask

(Erik)

A freak does hide

(Both)

A creature of the dark,

That fate betrayed

The Phantom of the Opera is now

Your/my masquerade

(Voices)

He's here, the Phantom of the Opera

Beware, the Phantom of the Opera

(Erik)

In all your memories,

You've always known

That man and mystery

(Daroga)

Through you, they've shown

(Both)

And in this underworld,

Where music's made

The Phantom of the Opera became

Your/my masquerade

(Erik hands Daroga sheet music)

(Erik)

(Speaking) Sing it for me, Daroga. Sing it.

*(Daroga gives Erik a confused look, and Erik impatiently urges him on)

(Daroga)

(Quietly) He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

Beware, the Phantom of the Opera

(Erik)

(Speaking) No! SING it, Daroga!

(Daroga)

(Louder) He's here, the Phantom of the Opera

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

(Erik)

(Speaking) SING IT FOR ME!

(Daroga)

(Loudest) AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!


Did Daroga succeed in hitting that note at the end? Or did he crack? That's up to you. I think he did succeed, but you can imagine whatever you want.
