Finale
*In the Phantom's lair, he leaned against the wall, holding a ring in his hand waiting for his bride. Sally then came out wearing the wedding dress that was on the doll*
*Sally singing*
Have you gorged yourself at last
In your lust for blood
*The Phantom didn't answer*
Am I now to be prey
To your lust for flesh
*He went up to her*
*Shadow singing*
The fate which condemns me
To wallow in blood
Has also denied me
The joys of the flesh
*He raised a hand to touch her face, but she turned away*
This face - the infection
Which poisons our love
*He went to the doll to take off the veil and put it on her*
This face which earned a mother's fear and loathing
A mask
My first unfeeling scrap of clothing
*He then grabbed her shoulders to make her face him*
Pity comes too late
Turn around and face your fate
An eternity of this
Before your eyes
*He then grabs her hand and places the ring in the palm. She looks at him, takes off the veil, and pulls a curtain, revealing a mirror*
*Sally singing*
This haunted face
Holds no horror for me now
It's in your soul
That the true distortion lies
*Before the Phantom could answer that, he heard splashes coming towards the lair entrance*
*Shadow singing*
Wait
I think my dear
We have a guest
They both turned towards the entrance and saw Sonic, soaking wet. He gripped the gate bars and glared at the Phantom, who slowly approached with a wicked smirk*
Sally: Sonic!
*Shadow singing*
Sir, this is indeed
An unparalleled delight
I had rather hoped
That you would come
And now my wish has come true
You have truly made my night
*He pulled Sally close to him*
*Sonic singing*
Free her
Do what you like
Only free her
Have you no pity
*Shadow singing*
*to Sally*
Your lover makes
a passionate plea
*Sally looked at Sonic desperately*
Sally: Please, Sonic it's useless!
*Sonic singing*
I love her
Does that mean nothing
I love her
Show some compassion
*Shadow singing*
The world showed no compassion to me
*Sonic singing*
Sally . . .
Sally . . .
Let me see her
*The Phantom smirked and put his hand on a lever*
Shadow: Be my guest, sir.
*He pulled the lever and the gate opened. Sonic entered the lair and the Phantom walked slowly towards him*
*Shadow singing*
Monsieur, I bid you welcome
Did you think that I would harm her
Why would I make her pay
for the sins which are yours
*Suddenly, behind Sonic, the gate slammed shut. He turned around, and then, with the silence and speed of a ninja, the Phantom wrapped the lasso around his neck. Sally gasped in horror as the Phantom tied Sonic to the gate*
Order your fine horses now
Raise your hands
at the level of your eyes
Nothing can save you now
Except perhaps
Sally
*He then threw the rope around a hook hanging from the ceiling*
Sally: No, please!
*The Phantom then turned to her*
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 point of no return
*Sally stood there, feeling torn between the two choices. Tears fell down her cheeks as she glared at the Phantom*
*Sally singing*
The tears I might have shed for your dark face
Grow cold . . .
And turn to tears of HATE
*Sonic singing*
Sally
Forgive me
Please forgive me
I did it all for you
And all for nothing . . .
*Sally singing*
Farewell
My fallen idol
and false friend
One by one
All my delusions shattered
*Shadow singing*
Too late for turning back
Too late for prayers and useless pity
*Sonic singing*
If you say you love me
Then my life is over
*Shadow singing*
Past all hope of cries
For help
No point in fighting
*Shadow/Sonic singing*
For either way you choose you cannot win
(Either way you choose he has to win)
*Shadow singing*
So do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave
*Sonic singing*
Why make her lie to you to save me
*Shadow singing*
Past the point of no return . . .
*Sally singing*
Angel of Music . . .
*Sonic singing*
For pity's sake
Sally
Say no
*Sally singing*
Why this torment
*Shadow singing*
The final threshold . . .
*Sonic singing*
Don't throw your life away for my sake
*Shadow singing*
His life is now the prize
Which you must earn
*Sally singing*
Why do you curse mercy
*Sonic singing*
I fought so hard to free you . . .
*Sally/Shadow singing*
Angel of Music
You deceived me . . .
(You've past the point of no return)
*Sally still glared at him with tears in her eyes*
Sally: I gave you my mind blindly.
Shadow: You try my patience. Make your choice!
*He pulled the rope and Sonic choked a little. Sally looked at the Phantom sadly and slowly waded to him*
*Sally singing*
Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known
God give me courage to show you
You are not alone . . .
*Sally gently cupped his face and kissed him on the lips. Sonic looked away. After a few moments, they separated. The Phantom went silent. Through out the caves, the voices of the angry mob were getting closer*
*Chorus singing*
Track down this murderer
He must be found!
*The Phantom then looked at Sonic*
Shadow: Take her. Forget me! Forget all of this! Leave me alone. Forget all that you've seen!
*Sally ran to Sonic and untied him. They hugged each other tightly*
Shadow: Go now! Don't let them find you! Take the boat. Swear to never tell, the secrets that you know of the Angel in Hell!
*Chorus singing*
The Phantom Shadow of the Opera
Is there deep down below
*Shadow singing*
Go now
Go now and leave me
*Sally and Sonic started to leave, but she stopped and turned around. The Phantom sat on his bed and looked at the music box*
*Shadow singing*
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you . . .
*The Phantom looked up and saw Sally standing in front of him*
Shadow: Sally, I love you . . .
*Sally said nothing. She just smiled tenderly, took off the ring he gave her, placed it in his own and kissed his forhead. Then she turned and left with Sonic in the boat*
*Sally singing*
Say you'll share with me
One love
One lifetime
*Sonic singing*
Say the word
And will follow you
*Sally singing*
Share each day with me
Each night
Each morning
*The Phantom stood up and watched them leave. He then picked up a candle stick went to one of his three mirrors*
*Shadow singing*
You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now
The music of the night
*He then broke all 3 mirrors, one leading to a secret passage. When the mob arrived at the lair, the Phantom was gone. All they found was his mask. That was the last anyone saw of him*
(1919)
*Sonic was now sitting in his wheelchair, in front of a grave marked
Sally
1854 - 1919
Countess
Hedgehog/Acorn
Beloved
Wife and Mother
With the help of his nurse, Sonic put the music box on her grave. As he got back up, he saw something that made his eyes widen in shock. Also on the grave was a red rose with a black ribbon tied to it. With the rose was the ring Sally had given the Phantom. He had been there and he always will be . . . The Phantom Shadow of the Opera*
