Music of the Bright
Hmmmm, wonder what Sharon means by bright?
Raoul- Not cool, man! Not cool!
Ok, basically they're down there, and Meg is beginning to see why Christine loves Erik but oh no! She won't fall too, will she? Fop berating, and a bit of flirtation on Meg's part. Remember, this is not the OLC version, 'tis the Highlights version, which was changed significantly
Meg:
Nighttime broadens
Lengthens each damnation
Darkness unfurled
Berates imagination
Erik:
Silently their senses
Are more than just offenses
Helpless to resist the jokes I write
For I compose, the Music, of the bright
Christine:
Slowly, gently he unfurls his splendour!
Grasp it, sense it, humorous and tender
Hearing is believing
Fop is disbelieving
Handsome yet without some sense in sight
Dare he know, the music of the bright
Erik:
(to both teasingly)
Close your eyes
For your eyes never tell the truth
and the truth is just what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is everywhere near me
Softly deftly
Music shall teach you
Hear it
Feel it
Secretly express you
Open up your mind
Let your braincells combine
In this darkness which will help you unwind
The darkness of the music of the bright
Close your eyes
Start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the knowledge you knew before
Close your eyes and let it all set you free
Only then can you belong to me
Meg:
(quivering, eyes closed, following Christine's suit)
Floating falling
Sweet intoxication!
(Opens eyes looks at Erik)
Touch me
Christine:
(opening eyes)
Trust me
Erik:
Savour each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your smarter side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the bright
(He leads them to a large dustcover covered mirror, he removes the cover and reveals the wax image of Christine, in the wedding gown she had left in. It is still in perfect condition. Next to it is a new manikin of Meg, in a bridesmaids dress. Mesmerized as ever, Christine reaches for hers, it does not however thrust it's hands to her as last time. She quickly removes the gown, holding it to herself, and hugging it, Erik's hand is now on her shoulder, she turns to him.)
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the bright
(With a smile she helplessly falls into his arms, Meg watches in silent jealousy as they share the first kiss they have since the night she left)
