The Phantom's Lair:
Raoul is carrying Christine out of the Phantom's lair. Erik is standing
center stage, sadly watching the love of his life leave with another man.
Tears rush down his face.
Erik (who is attempting to hold back sobs):
NO STAY...
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE SAID OR DONE.
DON'T GO AWAY.
NOT WHEN MY LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN.
COME BACK!
SHE'S GONE,
THIS VISION WHO WAS NOT QUITE REAL.
I CAN'T MOVE ON
BECAUSE THE PAIN, WILL NEVER HEAL.
OH LORD,
HOW COULD YOU LET ME LOVE LIKE THIS!
NO ONE DIES UPON A KISS,
AND ONLY FOOLS BELIEVE IN BLISS!
GOD, NO!
I'M BROKEN BUT I'M STILL ALIVE.
AND SLOW-LY,
I WILL FEEL MY SOUL REVIVE.
WITH TIME,
I'LL FIND A WAY TO RIGHT THIS WRONG-IF IT
TAKES MY WHOLE LIFE LONG.
LORD I'LL FIGHT MY BATTELS ALL ALONE,
BUT MAKE ME STRONG.
Christine, you'll be mine if it is the last thing I do! This is swear to
you!
Erik begins to sob into the wedding veil he is holding.
(blackout and end of scene one)
